'lo ladies, feeling knackered today. DS was restless all night and has hardly napped today. Have managed to get him to bed but he wakes up every time I make a move to leave him. How the jeff does he know when I leave? I lay him on the bed next to me, fast asleep. I sit there and he snoozes away happily. I get up and his eyes flip open straight away. How does he knoooow?! Gonna chuck the towel in shortly and just go to bed.
DH is downstairs terrifying himself by googling various ailments he has, I can't be arsed to talk him down right now - "no I don't think you've got cancer, if you're that bloody worried about it go and see a friggin' doctor instead of trying to diagnose yourself online."
LWL - yes, yes, yes. Every person I meet comments that DS is very alert. Maybe it's common with HN babies. And totally with you re doing better at 5 months. He's not improving at all, sleep wise. We have my mum and dad's ruby anniversary party at their house next week. I thought I'd be able to put him to bed and enjoy the party but now know I'll either keep him up late or spend the entire evening upstairs with my boob in his mouth keeping him asleep. Plus they'll be loads of my mum's friends there to witness my failure to parent properly and offer me helpful advice.
Was saying to DH earlier, I just wish he'd go to bed easier. I don't mind the night wakings (well, I do but can handle them), it's the constant battle to get him to bed that makes me 
. Anyway, can't dwell on it. Start from where you are, as my friend says. Tomorrow is another day!
