Our little boy isn’t very well again, hes caught the cold which seemed to be doing the rounds last week. Its rather heartbreaking to see as he suffers with it and struggles to sleep. When he does finally manage to snatch some sleep, he then snores really loudly which would be cute if it wasn’t at 4am. I wish there was more advice out there for first time parents for this sort of thing, in my experience you only really hear about how well behaved other babies are and never really learn about the difficult side of parenting - its all rather hush hush.

I still managed to get a snotty smile and a giggle out of him this morning whilst I tried to make him comfortable and for a brief moment all the frustrations resulting from the previous night were forgotten about. Now I’m in somewhat of a stunned state as I reach the halfway stage of the working day and rather annoyed that the OCD-like tendences are creeping in again as things are checked, checked and checked again even when carrying out the simplest of tasks to ensure things are done correctly.
