Been a tough week. Sofia was really unsettled last week. Was going through a growth spurt so waking up during the night a few times for feeds, which completely threw me out. Was hoping that things would settle down this week. They did for Sunday night, but now she’s teething.

Also my best friend is in labour. She’s been in labour since Friday. Her contractions started 23 minutes apart and are slowly getting shorter and shorter. Hopefully it will happen within the next 24 hours. So last night even when I had the chance to sleep I was too wired and thinking about her. She was at my labour and I want to be there for her, but with the baby attached to my boob I’ll be limited in my mobility. I haven’t wanted to think about it too much and just been waiting to see how it all pans out.

I made some resolutions last week and achieved them, which I was stoked about. Realised that I waste a lot of time on crappy television so I now have it turned off all day and only watch television in the evening. Amazing how much more you get done without the tv distracting you. When I need some noise to fill in the silence I turn on the radio.

I’ve started transcribing my notebooks. Was getting some momentum but the lack of sleep threw a spanner in the works. So this week I’m going to get stuck into it regardless of how tired I am. If I wait for a good time, it just doesn’t happen. You just have to get into it and even if it’s one page, then it’s something done.

Had some other profound thoughts I was going to share, but I’m so tired. Going back to sleep now that the bebe is down again. For however long, at least it will get me through a few more hours.
