Must be quick as interest in the playmat is waning. (His not mine.) But I wanted to write as we can finally announce his name.

(It's Reuben Toby by the way, just in case the title didn't give it away.) He's gorgeous. Surprising us every day. Usually with the speed and force of what comes from his rear end but how can I complain?

I am absolutely exhausted and the days are rolling into one blur of babyness but it's part of the deal isn't it.

What is sad is that my husband went back to work today. We have lived in a lovely bubble for two weeks. It didn't matter if we were both up in the night because we didn't need to function any better in the day and we were able to establish our new family, but all good things have to come to an end don't they.

I just wish it could last forever. And given that I really want to jump in the shower but Reuben doesn't want to play ball with sleeping, an extra pair of hands wouldn't go amiss...
