Good morning and Mugabe to all!
You were a chatty bunch yesterday! So much to catch up on. We had a really nice day. Ds and I had Sunday lunch at my parents with my lovely nieces. Then I took ds to his first proper birthday party! It was a for a work colleague's birthday and everyone bought their kids along. It was lovely to see lots of work friends and meet their kids. Ds was an absolute star. He was passed around everyone for cuddles and loved it. I had a bit of a job feeding him because he was so nosy. He stayed awake for over 2 hours, which is his longest stretch ever. I was expecting an over tired nightmare last night, but he wasn't too bad.
I'm loving reading all your back stories. I can't remember who said, but it was lovely to be reminded that a few of us have been chatting for over a year since the ttc buses. It's great to share this journey with such a lovely bunch.
As for routine / pattern - I think we're getting a bit of a pattern over night with ds. He generally goes down for the night between 11pm and 1am. The few hours before this are usually spent being grumpy and fighting sleep or mega awake, shouty and wanting to play. He'll then sleep for 3-4 hours before half waking for a 5 minute feed and going straight back down. He then sleeps until between 6 and 7am when he wakes for half an hour or so before going back down until about 10-11.
So we're both generally getting a good amount of sleep as I have nothing stopping me laying in in the morning. But, I do wander if we should try and get him to go earlier and wake earlier as it can be tricky if we need to go somewhere early. Maybe the clocks changing will help that.
As for daytime naps, they are very much led by ds. Sometimes long, sometimes short. If we've been out he'll sleep in his pram and that generally leads to a few hours. But I'm not very good at getting him to go down for a nap otherwise, so he sleeps on me a lot. I'm trying not to worry too much about it. Like slo, I'm finding a lot of sense in the 4th trimester thing. I feel that he just needs to be close to me at the moment. (Although it can feel a bit suffocating at times.) we also co-sleep, which I love 
Oh my, clstow and siani - why did you tell me about all those lovely leggings from joio, Amazon and e-bay?! I want them all!!
lily I also think there is nothing wrong with a bit of pee or posset as long as it's not touching the skin / soaking. Otherwise ds would be in about 10 outfits a day.
I hope everyone else is ok. Lots of coffe and sympathy for those struggling with lack of sleep. And big high fives to those little ones who are sleeping well. Ds and I are off to lidl to buy stuff to make soup. What a crazy life we lead!
Happy Monday everyone
