Growing pains

Been trying to get I to sleep through the night in his cot after months of co-sleeping. The prolonged howling even though we were just a metre or so further away was heartbreaking. Crying and babbling like he’s trying to tell us how much he hates us for doing it. He’s not normally a baby that cries for many reasons at all, so it was a particular heartstring tugger. That said, he slept well once he settled down, and made it through the night without a comfort feed. What a little trooper.

Due to have discussions about acting up as a consultant today. Did a procedure with one of the bosses yesterday that shook my confidence, though, didn’t manage to complete it without significant help, so it almost makes me feel like I don’t deserve to finish training and I definitely don’t deserve to pretend to be a consultant in a few months’ time. I don’t think something like that would normally shake me up this way, but maybe it’s the tiredness, I have no clue.
