thank you

Just a quick note to say thank you for all your supportive comments on my last post, and to let you know that Swee'pea slept last night. He slept in his crib for the first few hours so we had some much needed time to ourselves, and then he only woke twice in the night. And no screaming. Yay!

(Of course, I'm a bit embarrassed at how quickly and easily the change came after my panic, but what can you do?)

Thanks again. Oh, and just in case you missed it, I LOVED B&P's comment and MUST share it here (hopefully it's ok with B&P):

I was thinking yesterday, we feel like good mothers when in fact we're just having a pleasant, easy time. We look at our happy, well-behaved children and tell ourselves look! I can do this. It's when we're feeling like bad mothers - angry, overwhelmed, exhausted - that we're actually being good mothers, doing the hard work, dealing with all the crap.

I think that's just about the most world-rocking insight I've seen in a while.
