3 days of hell appear to be over! Since the trip to the hospital, Marcus has been in a cycle of feed, sleep for 20 minutes, cry for two hours, then start again. As a result, everyone is very sleep deprived and their hasn't been much love in the house!
Our fantastic midwife (or lead maternity carer, to use the jargon) suspects that on Saturday he had really bad wind. As a result his cycles he was developing got badly disrupted and he almost forgot how to sleep. She gave us some tips to try and get him to sleep and ways to focus on keeping him asleep. He went to sleep at 7pm, and at 12.14am now, he's been asleep for over 5 hours. I sent Shelley to bed when he went to sleep and she's still there. Which is the longest she's slept since Marcus was born. So tomorrow looks like being a great day!

Ah joy.
Hang in there. You can get our own back by going senile one day!
