peace at last!

Both children are in bed, sean in the pub and my family back home in Edinburgh and Inverness. Peace at last!
It has been a bit of a mad weekend. My mum, sister and my niece and nephew came down to meet Ruby. They stayed at our house which was a bit of a squeeze. My little girl loved it her and my nephew were running around getting up to mischief. She kept kissing and cuddling him which was very sweet. Ruby was on good form. She has settled down loads, i've changed the bottles i was using to the dr Brown ones and the difference in her was almost instant. She still cries quite a bit but no where near as much and she settles earlier and easier at night even going as long as 5.5 hours during the night which means i'm managing to get some sleep now.
We went shopping although with 3 children under 5 there wasnt much shopping done so we gave up and went to wacky warehouse which the kids loved and it helped use up some of their endless energy. It was lovely having the family visit but it was also quite nice getting the house back to normal.
I managed to have a long soak in the bath today, maybe not worth noting for some but it seems so long since i was last able to lie back in some bubbles and read a magazine without a 2 year old trying to climb in or shouting on me from the bottom of the stairs, or a baby crying and a partner suddenly incapable of seeing to her. Its amazing what a peaceful bath can do, i feel recharged afterwards and a bit more sane. Until you have children i dont think you always appreciate 'me' time but now i make the most of it because i dont always know when i'm going to get it again.
I think i'm going to go an enjoy another pleasure now, SLEEP, something else i have to make the most of these days.

take care x
