Anyone else up?

[SneakyGremlins]

I can't sleep. And I have a stupid song stuck in my head. It's given me a headache and painkillers aren't doing anything.

I'm still awake. Stupid back pain is keeping me awake

Have you injured it? My sympathies, I pulled a muscle in my back once. Agony.

Me. I'm just not tired (I'm also feeling so pleased with myself I'm buzzing a bit, which doesn't help - just started a thread in The Litter Tray about that - dull for any non cat people though).

What's the song OP?

It's that stupid

"take me hooooooome country roooooooads to the plaaaaaaaaace I beloooooooooooong

WEST VIRGINIA"

Ooh Olivia Newton John. I used to have the album with that on. Now that is annoying. And now I've got it on the brain too

Or is your earworm the John Denver version?

I'm up... had my second baby about 12 hours ago and remembering what it feels like to be denied sleep!

A girl, Zara, for those wanting to know!

Congratulations mumin!

Congrats on the baby!

TCN - it's actually DJ Ötzi's (of that HEEEEEEEEEEY BABY (OOH) (AH) song) dance remix. Don't ask. Olivia Newton John did a version??

Ahh. I'm clearly very old ...

Congrats on your lovely baby muminmanchester! You've got that baby 2 realisation when you suddenly remember all those things you'd forgotten after baby 1 Luckily lovely baby snuggles make you forget it

ONJ's version

YouTube recommended it earlier while I was on a club music listening spree. And now it's in my head..

Baby snuggles are the best.

Oh Olivia's version is MUCH nicer.

Thanks! The snuggles are lovely, I'd forgotten just how tiny and soft and perfect they are 🥰

WEST VIRGINNIAAA hahahahaaa, brilliant.

I'm up because its my job to play midwife to hundreds of our woolly friends, sheep. We're having a lull right now. until the next time they do a pile of lambs and dont know who belongs to who

@muminmanchester I don't yet have kids so the best bit about baby snuggles for me is getting to hand them back when they start crying

@OnlineAlienator doesn't each sheep have a unique baa that it's mother uses? Or is that cows I'm thinking of?

I am. I am in more pain than I think I've ever been. My throat is agony and my ear has so much pressure behind it. My baby is waking constantly and I am so tired. I feel like I can't cope and can't go on.
Sorry, what a downer

Yes and a smell, but in those first few post birth moments when they are learning these things, it all gets confused if you have others in the way, and i dont know why but its been the fashion the last couple of days to all want to use the same bit of the ground at the same time!

@fairybeagle can you call 111? Or get an emergency appointment first thing? I'm sorry you're in such pain.

My baby is fast asleep for a.change but I am wide awake worrying about her starting with a childminder.

Wide awake. I'm having an operation in the morning so I'll get plenty of sleep tomorrow.

Wide awake with 'everything I do, I do it for you' on repeat in my head

Wide awake with pregnancy insomnia

Wide awake with an awful cough, a toddler who has wandered in and out Of our bed but mainly because we’re ttc since June and this evening I got yet another BFN so feeling really sad and DH as great as he is just doesn’t understand
