Through the early diffilcult phase lol, now I get a few months of easy baby care before she starts growing up and being a handful!
For the first few weeks she screamed every time we went in a car, I took her in a pram or put her in a shopping trolley. Now she's out of that and will happily sleep in the car which means I am no longer housebound! She's also sleeing for longer periods at night and is happy to lie awake and entertain herself during the day, so I guess I'm quite lucky (though this is still my most difficult baby so far!).
