I may be a bit quiet for the next few weeks folks.
My latest son, Finnian, was born a few days ago (boy, 9 lbs 8 1/2 ozs, mother and child doing well). The parents among you know that I am about to enter a period of sleep-deprivation that will last weeks or months.
I will start posting again when I am compos mentis enough to write coherently.
Congratulations.
Gratuitous advice, freely given.
Get your baby into the family bed.
I've done it the hard way and the Russian way. The Russian way is the best. It is a mammal and needs the mother smell.
Not so sure having a baby in your bed will help your quest to get a good night's sleep in the next couple of years, but then again I'm probably not the best guide in the sphere of husband-wife relations...

Oh well... I tried.

My wife agrees. The baby mostly sleeps on top of her or beside her. I've heard that co-sleeping is dangerous - but I don't get a vote.
Congratulations Dave !
