I do find it reassuring that your dd wakes too, Egypt. We had 4 wakes last night as well. DH went through to her at 3 and tried patting and shushing her but to no avail. I took over and picked her up and sang to her but that wasn't it either. It just has to be a feed. My Mum is coming over on Sunday with her pal who's a wise health visitor (as opposed to the other sort)and I will ask her, and pass on any words of wisdom. I always want people to say it's ok just to feed...think I have said this all before so will shut up...Did you stop the baby rice Egypt?
I went to another bit of the conference last night while DH dandled DD outside the theatre. (after nobly driving me all the way there). It's on children's theatre, and this was a well regarded show that I really wanted to see. We were all coming out of the auditorium singing its praises when a sad and familiar sound drifted across the foyer. I felt the mum chemicals kick in, and practically ran up the stairs, to find poor DH with poor DD absolutely roaring. She had been for 40 minutes!! and he'd tried to phone me but his battery died... I have never seen her so upset. As you can imagine, I pretty much gave it the up-Tshirt and flumped down to feed her on the spot as the delegates milled around above our heads. (well not quite, but...)
then we got lost coming home but that's another story.
Perhaps after all this excitement it's no wonder DD wasn't settled when she went down.
Mood-wise, not bad at all here. We have just had a very nice little holiday tho'. Sorry if you two are feeling a bit seasonal, Libb and G. And sympathy for your dramatic tummy Susi.
