competitive tiredness
I haven't slept properly in 2 weeks, and am unlikely to in the next 10 weeks or so, then once baby arrives, am likely to get even less sleep. Am feeling like death warmed up. And I can't really drink, which makes it even worse. So I'm feeling very shit indeed.

small babies and sleeping
The best advice i can give you, is to sleep when your baby sleeps. Naps are brilliant, and should be taken at every opportunity. Don't get too hung up on housework, get the man to do that, or do it when you have had a nap.

Another great tip for soothing small babies is reasonably loud music, with plenty of bass, if possible. Dub reggae works a treat. This is best played in another room so that the vibrations can drift in and soothe baby into a Jamiacan flavoured slumber. It worked brilliantly for my 2 kids.

Other than that, best of luck!!
