I didn't realise how much until today but I'm really having withdrawal issues! I've not had caffeine for three and a half weeks now and am coping just fine with that but not picking up a needle in that time? Really bugging me!
Obviously there's nothing I can do about it for now - having a new baby does not really leave time to do anything for myself but I'm hoping it won't be too long before I get the chance to stitch a little. I was definitely stitching by the time Lia was three months as I had some obligation stitching that I did so I can pin point the exact time I did it.
Still, we're working really well here. Connor is a hungry boy and feeds A LOT during the day but in return for that he sleeps well at night. He goes down around 7pm and then DH does a bottle feed around 10pm meaning that I get a good chunk of sleep as I'm in bed for 8.30pm and Connor wakes me around 1am, if not later. Depending on the timing of his night feed I'm then woken any time between 4 and 6am for another feed. Weekdays we're all up around 6.30am to get ready for work / school but weekends he'll often have another sleep after the morning feed.
All in all I'm averaging around 7 hrs sleep a night which is more than enough to remain human. The downside is that I have no evening time to do any stitching and as he only cat naps during the day I don't get any done then either.
But it's not forever right? And he's certainly more than cute enough to make up for the stitching deficit.

You are right, he is so cute he makes up for no stitching time.
But you may get some time to yourself the second weekend of June as I can see dibs being placed on who gets to hold him next :) You will have to give him an extra cuddle from me.
The word verification is: wakees
How appropriate is that!
Glad to hear the little fella is doing well and you are having a good time of those first few months. They can be crazy.
Look forward to seeing some stitching when you get back to it.
