Why are you awake?

My DS is 2 years 3 months, and he just started sleeping through the night yesterday. In his bed! But what am I doing? I am awake checking up on him if everything is ok 🫠🤦🏻‍♀️

I am also 15 weeks pregnant with #2, and you'd think my body would know by now that uninterrupted night is a gold dust in this parenting world and would just fall asleep, but noooo... Here I am lying awake, thinking about most random conversations I had 10 years ago.

@yvonneb13 I know it feels feels like he will never stop crying, but I promise you, it will get better soon 😘 You are doing really well, lovely.
@Ace888 DD, for example, means Dear Daughter. DS - dear son, DH - dear husband. DM - dear mother, etc. Just stick a 'dear' in front of a family member and shorten ☺️

What do you mean by this? 💐💐💐

Something really really bad happened yesterday and I was left all alone. Family cruelty. Now waiting to finally talk to a police officer and report family violence. I'm so sad and scared 😥

I fell asleep for 2 hours then woke up :(

Weirdly, I feel nauseous - I had one can of lager last night so don't think that was enough to have that effect? Perhaps my body wasn't in the mood!

My toddler has snots and wanted cuddles. Of course, now I am awake and getting back to sleep is a mission.
