After three attempts to leave a message on this thread I have to start again.

Codswallop - you still have the hacking bronchial cough to come and total loss of interest in food to come. I'm sure it won't be long before DS2 catches another cold.

We were going to sleep in the lounge last night, got the inflatable bed out ready and then discovered the pump wasn't charged and which point we threw our hands in the air and went back to bed. He woke at 4am, bfight eyed and bushy tailed.

Up at 2.30, 3.40 and then in my bed from 4.15 but just squirmed, whinged and moaned until 6.30. Has cold and teeth coming through but I am SO sick to death of being tired all the time. Feel like giving her away, never mind for sale.

princesspeahead · 29/10/2003 08:42

fed at 12.30 and 5.30.
sigh

I had to join this thread, my DS a heart baby does not beleive in sleeping for more than 2hours at a time. He is now 15months old, and I can not remember the last time I slept properly. I'm a diabetic aswell, so my sugar levels are all over the place. I haven't started pulling my hair out, YET. At the moment I'm just glad he is still alive, we have survived open heart surgery, so everything else seems less important. Lastnite, he went to bed at 9.15pm then up at-10.57pm-1.05am-3.16am-5.37am-then WAKES UP"" 6.55am for the start of a wonderful day!!! NOT!!!!!!!!!!

Hughsie · 29/10/2003 09:23

Blimey - surviour - you are definitely in line for a medal. Have you got any help at all so that you occasionally get a well deserved break?

codswallop · 29/10/2003 09:29

so apart form Kaz - who has infected all our babies with her cold..(!). a bad night.

Survivor your condition does make it all a but more serious....

H when back to work and what do you do - Not something that requires you to have a clear head I hope?!!

Elena are you still there?

lubu · 29/10/2003 10:15

Terrible night here. Woke at 10pm for 2 hours. Awake again at 2am for 1 hour and then up at 6am. She was bright eyed and bushy tailed - I was not

lubu · 29/10/2003 10:19

Sorry forgot - Bullsring was big and very crowded. Could not move in some shops and we spent the first hour getting lost! The outside of it makes your eyes go funny if you look at it too long. However, good shops and all big so came back with boot weighted down with Christmas presents

Might just go to Sutton next time, it will be quieter!

ninja · 29/10/2003 10:21

If I wasn't so sleep deprived I'd be a regular member here. I had a dream that I was on a drip except that it was coming out of me last night - then realised that it was real! DD too unsettled so stayed in the bed and I'm just a milk machine/dummy combined. She was very cute at 6am (I wasn't)

Hughsie · 29/10/2003 10:22

In 4 weeks time and yes I do have to pretend to know what I am doing and say impressive things now and agin - oops - no chance of that . i am not thinking about it yet as I'm not ready to part with little ds2 three days a week - luckily I do get 2 days with the boys on top of the weekened so it isn't too bad.

motherinferior · 29/10/2003 11:54

I start work next week and am about to pitch article on 'sleep and babies - the real story'

elena2 · 29/10/2003 12:12

Yes Coddy, I'm still here and I've had a FULL NIGHT'S SLEEP!

Ds2 had his 8 week jabs yesterday, and the nurse said he might be a bit sleepy.
"Really?" I replied, trying not to let out the large grin that was threatening to take over my face!

So we put him to bed about 7, woke him at 10 for a feed and listened in disbelief as he gurgled away happily alone in the dark afterwards, which he has NEVER done, always needed his dummy as I have mentioned before.

He then slept soundly until 6.10 this morning!!!
Didn't have to go and put his dummy in once!

Oh, and I bought him a grobag from Mothercare yesterday, which he slept in for the first time last night, so maybe it was a combination of both.
I suppose I'll find out tonight!

miranda2 · 29/10/2003 12:40

Grobags are the business!!!
They really do sleep all night in them. Apart from illness and the occasional nightmare, ds (2.4) has slept from 7 to c.6/6.30 from 5 months old (thank you gina ford too...).
Fingers crossed for tonight.

codswallop · 29/10/2003 13:18

Miranda are you trying to tease us?

kaz33 · 29/10/2003 20:35

Sorry Miranda - DS2 has been in grobag since about 4 weeks old and he ain't sleeping throughthe night.

codswallop · 29/10/2003 21:02

lubu · 30/10/2003 07:03

Yoohoo - 11 hours - not a peep was heard until 6.15am this morning

Was it the 1/2 cup of formula that dh gave her whilst I bathed ds??

Off to make a cup of tea with the novelty of the kettle not looking blurry!

codswallop · 30/10/2003 08:15

woweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee well done - mine woke cold at 9 pmso we put the mythical growbag on and ...till 630

Beccarollo · 30/10/2003 08:51

Horrendous night

Me still poorly and him sniffing himself awake every 1.5 hours ended up losing track of time and feeding him when he didnt need it to get him off to sleep only for him to spew it all up - was up at 10, 1, 3, 5

princesspeahead · 30/10/2003 09:03

ooooh, he likes the grobag! down at 6, fed at 2.30, up at 7!

elena2 · 30/10/2003 09:07

Poor Becca. Hope tonight is better for you.

ds woke at 4am and went down till 7.45 when dh's alarm woke him (grrrrrrrrrrrr), put his dummy in, went till 8.30.
Not too blurry eyed this morn, at least we didn't have to keep going in to put his dummy in!
