Welcome Tyler! And congratulations Alice! Hope you are recovering well - rest up and take all the help you can. Don’t be a superwoman; save your energy for the wee one. Everything else can wait. I say this as someone with a 5 month old, who has just moved house. Madness that way lies. Oh, and what a cutie! ---

Thanks everyone for the kind wishes! We’re starting to settle in at home now and developing a bit of a feeding routine which involves both of us lying on our sides and then dozing off after words - it’s pretty cool. 🙂 ---

That way, both of us got an extra hour of sleep (very much needed in the early months!) and it was great for bonding! One of my very favorite hours of the day! 🙂 ---
