Learning to Sleep – Part 2
Day 2 – Off to Work.
Today we wake at 6:30 am, I’m normally out of bed just before 7 am, but I had to get to work from a strange location and the new routine involves and early rise feed.
Kate jumps in the shower while I’m still here and I play with a grumpy little bugger, he did sleep through the night, which is not unusual for Sean.
I walk to Campsie train station to catch a ride into work, bit of a longer walk then I expected and Campsie is not an overly attractive area, but I get to the station in time for a 7:39 train and arrive into work at 8:10, not a bad trip, a 7:44 from home gets me in for 8:30.
So today is all about Kate following the plan with the help of the nurses, and an update at 10:30 tells me things are going well.
I struggle through the day at work wondering how Kate is coping but a few more calls assures me everything is working out.
I ditch the office early and get the train back to Campsie, cold, wet miserable Sydney weather is a great end to the week. Missing out on a night of fair well drinks is also a downer to the trip in, but Sean is my main priority.
I get back to Tresillian to find Kate relaxing on the bed and Sean asleep in his cot next to our room. All as it should be.
We get him up, have dinner, a bath and a bit of a play. Facetime with Brenma and Grumps down in Tassie for a bit of a surprise then off for a another sleep at 8:30.
I watch as Kate goes through the process, and it works after two visits for a pat and settle, our little man falls asleep…. for 45mins, we rinse and repeat but this time he gets the dummy.
