Don't know if anyone can help me but need to get some stuff off my chest.
I have 2 DD's 21 months and 15 weeks and I haven't had a full nights sleep since well before Christmas and it's killing me, I'm so so tired. Last night DD1 was put to bed at 8pm as normal but didn't settle until 9.20pm which isn't like her, DD2 came to bed with me and fed for a bit before dropping off at 10pm, I fell asleep during ER, she was up again at 2am and 4am and at 4am she wouldn't go back to sleep but was "chatting away" and awake for an hour, of course DD1 is up at 6.10am.
I was at Toddler group today but sometimes I wonder why I go, DD2 gets dumped in her car seat as I chase DD1 around the room as she's climbing on top of everything, I turned my back for a minute today and she fell off a chair (loads of bad Mummy looks from the other mums).
I am totally shattered and there is no one that could even look after them for an hour or two, DP is out the house from 6.30am-7pm and for 6 hours on Saturday, when he is here though he is a good help. I'm even thinking
would a bottle of formula knock DD2 out for a few hours, she's a big hungry girl (91st centile) and I feel like I don't have enough milk at night for her. I don't want to give her a bottle but my sleep deprived mind is working overtime.
We only moved here a few months ago so I don't know anyone well enough to ask them to babysit so it's me on my own with the babies most days (we do go to toddler groups 3 mornings a week though).
I think I could cope with everything else if I only got some decent sleep (she says typing on MN at 10 when I could be in bed)!
Any ideas?
