All going brilliantly today. He woke at 6am after a late night so I'm tired.
Bless him he was wet through for some reason. As I started sorting that he pooed on the floor. Ace.
I don't give milk. He gets offered water from wake up and breakfast near 7. Then milk after.
Flouncing crossing everything for you. Was thinking about your op this week.
Grrr to insomnia

Just checking in so I can catch up. I manage to keep up for a couple of days then it all goes to cock.
Happy Birthday to E, Q, O and A and any other babies I've missed.
It's DH birthday today. Somewhat marred by me and M being ill with high temps, head cold type things.
M was up so much in the night I hardly slept and as I ached all over I hardly slept when she did sleep.
DH had a drama too. He had a bath this am then called for me to bring him a plaster, god knows what a plaster would do. The bath and bathroom floor was covered in blood squirting out of his ankle! He didn't catch it on anything that he noticed, just looked down after drying himself and there was blood squirting out?! Not sure what it was, he's had an old mossie bite there that keeps scanning over but the amount of blood was like an artery 
The bleeding stopped eventually but it took over half an hour of pressure with his foot in the air.
Would you medical types be worried? I think it's just the old bite that's burst but it's odd that it caused so much vein/artery bleeding.
Anyway, enough about me, off to catch up

Well, O just pressed the back button on me , and my entire post was lost.
Thanks O .
Anyway, summary, no I don't wake O, only if absolutely necessary - rarely.
He sleeps from 1hr20 to 4-5 hours in the day over 2 naps, varies in length massively, but I don't mind this.
It doesn't affect his sleep at night, so I let him have what he wants.
Last night was shit - thanks to illness. DP on sofa as in work early, so he got no baby beating the crap out of him, and screaming like a banshee down his ear for 6 hours straight.
Woke him at 5, and made him take over - I am mean. But he didn't mind. O slept til 8.30 eventually, so I got a couple of hours.
I have done both shit nights this week, as DP worked most days. Have told him when I am off work he should not tell his work. They take the piss - when he wanted extra hours, they put a ban on over time. When we don't want them, they pile them on him. It's all the time. It winds me up massively. I've told him to just say no. They won't give him a full time contract, so they can piss off.
Hmpf.

Jonas never naps long enough to need waking - but if he naps too late in the day I will wake him to much heartbreak!
Isles good luck. It'll be tough resisting his charm and denial but for me the key would be remembering how he's quite prepared to upset and manipulate you (and waste NHS) by lying about being ill rather than just trying to be a better partner when you threaten to go. That's not normal and is a sign he thinks you and the doctors and genuine sick people etc are beneath him
