...you might get a full nights sleep most nights? After having both in spica casts after hip ops, teething, night terrors (one twin) for years, we were finally reaping the rewards and getting, gasp, 8 hours kip most nights when one twin has started crying almost EVERY night and expecting me to lie in with her until she goes back to sleep. I cant deal with broken sleep every night after almost 7 years! I know when it's a real nightmare as she is terrified, but real nightmares only occur every once and again. It's as if she wakes like everyone does but her default reaction is to whinge and cry until one of us goes into her. Now I'm getting really annoyed and have given her a lecture this morning on us needing our sleep and that she needs to stop this behaviour as I am getting wrecked and cranky. Told her that if it's a real nightmare I'll be in like a flash but the rest has to stop. She made a pinky promise but now I'm worried that I'm making her feel guilty for something she can't help? AAAAAARGH, fuzzy tired doubting brain!
