...or trying to stay awake with a newborn who won't go into his/her cot? 🙄

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Wide awake with a nearly 2 year old who decided she was ready to start her day at 1am and nothing would persuade her otherwise. Pregnant and exhausted and know for a fact she will go asleep just as the rest of the kids wake up raring to go.

If you have a partner available give them a poke and tell them its their turn, even if he just stays awake to supervise so the baby can sleep on your chest. Newborns are definitely a team effort.

Omg you are amazing if you have more than one! No I'm on my own. In fairness bubs is doing better tonight but so many nights of just 3 hours sleep....

I'm up again.... 5 week old has been up quite a bit during the night. Husband is away and my sister is coming to visit today at 10am. I'm already wondering when I'll have a chance to tidy a bit and even have a shower!

4 year old has a birthday party to go to this afternoon! And only 3 of them are invited so I feel like she has to go. Am exhausted!
