Back to work

I went back to work yesterday, which was difficult. Difficult for 2 reasons, firstly the last 2/3 weeks at home with Tracy and Thomas have been great. Stressful and tiring but great. It does not seem right to have to go to work every day and leave them at home. I should be with them, but unfortunately my holiday has come to an end. It has also been difficult because on Sunday night Thomas had a bad night. He was awake from 2.30 until 5.30 in the morning. Tracy looked after him during this time, changing several sleep suits and more nappies!! By the time Thomas finally went to sleep at 5.30am she was shattered. To make matters worse he didn't sleep very long and was awake for most of the day. The midwife came and went, advised us to go to the doctors which we did. The doctor suggested another colic relief medicine but the chemist didn't have any!! Thomas slept through all of the trips to the doctors, supermarket and home again, finally waking up at about 7.30pm. After a feed, I took care of Thomas so that Tracy could have a rest from 9pm until 10 pm. Thomas and I watched telly together!! Last night was a lot better. Thomas slept from 12.30 until 4.00am and then again from about 5.30 until after 8 this morning. Tracy and Thomas were both asleep when I went to work this morning. I will be popping in at lunchtime to see how things are going but a text this morning from Tracy said that were both fed, dressed and bathed :-)
