A perfect baby
... is a one who falls asleep quickly, doesn't wake when it's noisy and drinks her milk quickly.
As perfect as she looks, our little one kept us awake last night. All of a sudden, the memories of sleepless nights, endless crying (the baby, not us) and changing of diapers in at 3am became reality again last night. "Now I remember", I thought as I reached for the baby changing mat in the dark and helped Celest to hold her legs as she wiped away the poop.
And at 7.45am, Nigel and Shannon came marching into the room demanding to see their little sister, just after she managed to fall asleep. As timing goes, it couldn't have been better!
Such are the joys of parenthood - the ability to multi-task and operate under limited sleep. But it's a once (or maybe more) in a lifetime experience!
