Perhaps your little one would be one of these mythical babies that can be trained to sleep at night. I wish you so!

About my blog – thank you. My kids are mostly past the stage of waking us up at night. I’ve started this blog as I’ve decided to put my current research topics into a written form. That helps me to keep them real and hopefully someone else will find them useful as well. Will see how it goes.

Goodbye blogging, hello parenthood! Will try my best to keep up with the 2-week blogging schedule. I really want to continue writing meaty posts and not just blog for the sake of releasing a new post.

Well done on starting a new blog yourself too (while also having kids!).

Ah, my bad! I was just wondering how come you have time for your blog with a newborn around, so that explains :-)

Sorry, the comment was shortened, not sure what happened. The baby is on the way, I should’ve said: “now that the baby will be out” :)

Just noticed that my original comment got shortened.

So the baby is out now? Congratulations!

Some great insights in your comment, Dave, thanks. We live close to central London and are not using a car very often. Will probably confirm what you’re saying about installing baby seats soon that the newborn is out :)

But yeah, Tesco home delivery, Amazon, etc have made cars for us more of a leisure item than a utility one.

I’ve used Zipcar in the past but gave up on it once my kids were born. That was due to a combination of reasons:

– I’m finding installing baby seats each time a big annoyance
– my kids hate car travels – one is constantly nauseous, younger one is screaming because he hates to be pinned down
– I got too comfortable thanks to online deliveries, visiting shopping malls is a thing of the past for me
– for occasional local trips we use trains, at least little buggers can run around

On a side note I’ve found that people are renting a car just because
