It's great. I'm not sleeping less than befor. There's just 2 feed/clean breaks
during the night. After eating/drinking he goes nicely back to sleep and so do
we.

He is really starting to look like a baby now, ( The first week they look more
like a born foetus or a drunk old man without his teeth ) including some crying,
but not much.

So, not too tired but it is kind of relaxing to go to work.

My wife was very happy Sjoerd was 5 days early, she had enough of being
pregnant. How is your wife doing ?

BTW don't want to scare you but here in Holland it's custom that the father cuts
the chord. ( "And now daddy may cut the chord", "Oh, that's not really
nescessary, thank you ", "Yes it is" )

cheers,

Tony
