Why are you awake? (Monday morning edition)

[taytosandwich]

In the style of Chris Moyles - gooood morning everybody!

Why are you all up?

DS (2) woke up needing a bit of TLC as toddlers sometimes do. He's drifted off again and I'm lying here listening to a storm raging outside. It's quite pleasant actually

I'm up as I have to go to work very soon

It is 11pm here so is actually probably late rather than early but my 2 week old was starting to make noises like he wanted a feed and now I have him up he is fast asleep. I just know as soon as I put him down again he will want food so trying to wait but I am tired.

I’m saying the final goodbye to my dad today at his funeral I feel sick and my stomach is in knots, listening to my 13 week olds breathing is somewhat helpful though

I’m in Canada. 7 hours behind!

I'm sorry for your loss emmaluggs

Teacher- up to the mark the books I was too tired to finish last night after a weekend working!

I'm feeding my 10 month old who is full of a cold and has recently decided sleep is over rated!

My 4 year old has only just fallen back asleep after being awake 12am to 4am. What the fucking fuck?! Why?!

Currently pregnant was DC2 and due tomorrow. Officially at the too uncomfortable to sleep stage and obviously need to pee 5 times a night.

@emmaluggs I am sorry our babies are a great source of strength. It might help if you write him a letter telling him all the things you want to say before you go if you haven't done so already.

I'm in Australia, its late morning here, I've been at work for 4 and a half hours already.

@RefuseTheLies mr 2.5 here loves a 12am til 4am wake up! Must be some kind of witching hour.

Awake with a six week old who thinks party time happens between 2.30am and 4.10am (just dropping back to sleep now, I think).

How can she sleep so well during the day, in her Moses basket, when I put her down, but be all wide eyed awake in the middle of the night!?!?!?

Feeding my 3 week old. He's been sleeping 3/4 even 5 hour stretches but tonight the longest he's managed has been an hour and 20 minutes 💤💤💤

I'm awake because I woke up and realised the kids didn't bring down their baskets of Friday, which means I'm washing their school uniform now.

On*

At work on the night shift....3.5 hours to go, not counting obviously!!

21 mo woke with a blood curdling scream for 3rd time tonight. Naturally DH didn't hear it he gets to go away tomorrow night too.

Morning all.

Any one want a coffee?

Up with my nearly 7 week old (!). She actually had her longest stretch tonight - 4.5 hours - which I slept through all of as it started at 1030!! She just woke up with a bit of wind I think and now she's on my chest having a kipples.

I'm trying to enjoy these "newborn snuggles" this time round although it goes against my very cynical selfish nature.

My 21 month old thinks that 4am is a great time to start the day and won't go back to sleep.

i seem to wake up, i have got into this habit of waking at 4.00 ish

I was exhausted last night so went to bed at 7.30pm last night just after the kids. Woke at 4am uk time and realised I couldnt see my son in his monitor so went in and found him asleep on the floor. Hes got a nasty cough but for some reason isnt coughing so that's worrying me! Now I'm applying for jobs. Looking to return to work after a break to have the family and it's on my mind. I'm trying to figure out what job I can do and what help I'll need to pay for and how much it will all cost so how much I need to earn. Heads spinning!

My 4yo woke after a bad dream (now settled in bed). My dog decided he needed a nocturnal garden visit. Just back in bed but wide awake...

4.30 is the preferred wake up time of my 3 yo and I fear it will be so forever
