Does it get better...yes (and no), you get used to the nights/days when you are in a comatose state because you don't ever think it going to change so you have to just go with it. <br /><br />Then when they, for example do start sleeping better in a 24 hour period, you think it's a fluke, but then it continues a little while longer and then you get comfortable and then they start teething or get sick and it's back to square one. <br /><br />One thing I have learnt is that it does change, and there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. There is unfortunately no magic formula when it comes to the sleep times with babies, as much as we wish for things to go back to 'normal' (or a normal less-than-zombified-state) although a sense of normality starts to happen when you least expect it. Those growing-up stages do make a difference, and before long you'll be looking at little man in say 3 or 5 years time wondering where on earth did that time go and wow, I can't even remember or (maybe care to) what it was like with him as a baby (not sleeping) then to now. <br /><br />Anyway, it is lovely to read your blog posts, nothing much has changed here in Geography, and it would be good to see you, Johanna and Uli one day with your babies!<br /><br />Take care<br /><br />Sheree<br />(Mother to 2 boys: Luc 8 years and Reuben 16 months!)Shereenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467171832517269410.post-66352519603364083242013-09-30T08:56:47.413+01:002013-09-30T08:56:47.413+01:00It took until month five for me so don't give ...It took until month five for me so don't give yourself a hard time.
