Took dd2 down stairs to DH, she's full of cold, I've been up since just gone 6 with her, I'm exhausted and if I didn't just dump her on him, in a nice way, I'd be getting no sleep, anyone else sleep deprived?

Not at all, unless he is a brain surgeon expected to operate in the morning.

Im 37 weeks pregnant with a cold and a 2.9yo who is pretty out of sorts knowing something big is happening soon. She is asleep atm but I am not, and guaranteed as soon as I drift off she will wake.

I absolutely adore her, but the past week she has not slept well at all, and I need a break, I can feel myself getting into that nice warm state just before sleep, hes not done night duty since she was born so I think I'm perfectly entitled to this night, baring in mind she has been very good at night since about 8 weeks old, she's now 13 weeks, men aye

Why are you asking? Did he complain?

AgentZigzag · 05/10/2014 01:18

You shouldn't feel guilty about your DH having your DD while you get some kip in.

Has he said he thinks you should be sorting her?

LizLimone · 05/10/2014 01:26

It's the weekend so why wouldn't both of you be caring for her anyway? Does he work weekends?

ThinkIveBeenHacked · 05/10/2014 01:41

Why hasnt he done a single night waking?! Unless you are exclusively breastfeeding, one night of un-interrupted sleep a week isnt expecting a lot.

Sleep sweet, OP, then get back here when you are refreshed so we can talk some gusto into you!

He's her father. How are you dumping her on him.

shitatusernames · 05/10/2014 02:45

He hasn't complained, he just sleeps through everything!! He never moaned when I took her down either, he has a very physical job and suffers with arthritis so is also in pain, and to be honest when she did wake she fed and was asleep again within 20 mins, she's just unwell at the moment and I'm not used to the sleepless nights, she's asleep now but very unsettled, I've made him sound a knob head and he really isn't

You haven't made him sound like a knob head, I don't know why the other posters asked whether he'd said anything to you, but I was wondering where your guilt was coming from, and it does really stand out in your OP.

If you look after a baby most of the day it is easy to slip into the mindset that you should be the one looking after them. and if you're not then something isn't right.

It's lovely you care about your DHs wellbeing, but it shouldn't be at the expense of your own Smile

Well, I hope you actually slept! Two and three quarter hours between first and last post indicate you did not sleep much. I hope you are asleep now.

shitatusernames · 05/10/2014 07:39

Got some sleep, and DH has taken her down so I can get some more, I'm so not used to sleepless nights and when you get one its a shock, I had non sleepers before but dd2 has been very good thank you everyone Grin
