Day 1 - Arvo/evening

So I knew Minnie could sleep 2 hours at a time for her daytime sleeps but it's nice she can do it with just one resettle and in an unfamiliar environment AND without being swaddled! Good job Minnie.
Its time for the night time sleep now, the test. Argghhh.
I've already chatted with lots of mums who are here for the first time and are anxious with good reason. I am currently listening to Minnie have a good 'protest' about being left without being settled to sleep. Its not at all easy. 
This is the second settle she has had but she is responding well when the nurse is settling her. She liked having the lullaby music on full pelt for her arvo sleep so they might try that again. I really am babbling on here...(Dinner was pretty crap fish and chips....ha ha ha) Its helping!
I do get to have some tempazepam (sedative thing) tonight which I think I will need. I'm feeling pretty on edge. Tired but wired. There is lots of little babies having a hard time on their first night so I also have ear plugs!
The nurse will come and get me for a feed at 10:30pm and then again between 3am and 5am if she wakes up and needs it.
Resettle number three then four and yup, music is on! Oh golly its a cacophony of wailing babies. Eek. 
All is quiet.....hmmmm......Just had a peek in her little window and the nurse (Emmie) is giving her a good long soothing settle. Fingers crossed that does the trick.
Good night little Minnie see you in 2 or so hours!
All is quiet. Good night little babies. Good night mummy's and Daddy's.

In a nutshell
- Some good day sleeps happening already
- I got a bit anxious with her settling for her night sleep and crapped on a bit too much. 
- Dinner was crappy
