Ok lucy is an absolute ANGEL when daddy gets home! probly cause its the end of the day or something but during the day she is mostly wide awake unless she is in the car or in the HAB! I try to settle her (i have to cover her eyes cause she looks around too much, then gets poopy cause she is tired) and when i try to put her down BANG her eyes will open! I dont get time to go to the cr@pper, or sit down by myself to eat!
A typical day works like this -
she has her first feed with dad at about 5-6am while im in bed, this is the only half an hours worth of sleep by myself i get all day!
then her next feed is due round 9-10 depending on when she woke up, I get up and get her bottle then she usually mucks around for a playtime after she might fall asleep in my arms but as soon as I put her down mayb for as long as 10mins she will be back up goo gaaing or crying cause she wants to look around but is tired! So I go get her and she has a huge smile on her face when i see her its so cute! so then I try settle her but she wont settle unless im holding her... this keeps going until I go insane and have to either get out of the house if Im not already late for an appointment WHICH i have to get ready for the night before AND start getting dressed 2hours before! she will sleep in the car or just sit there looking and will sleep in her pram at the shops(sometimes she wants to be in my arms looking) but as soon as I get home its back to wanting to b held SO I put her in her HAB and cant really get stuck into the cleaning so the house is a shambles when daddy gets home she is asleep like an angel either in my arms or Ive just put her down and then its time to start cooking and having baths and her 2nd last feed which she will probly falll asleep in daddys arms then go straight into her bassinette until we have to wake her at 11pm for her last feed then she comes into our bed until the morning when I do it ALL OVER AGAIN!!!
please help me any suggestions would b appreciated on how to settle her and get at least an hour in between feeds a day to do some cleaning! she is asleep now on my lap while im doing this SSSOOOOOOoooOOOO tempted to try put her down cause I NEED to clean my house!!!!
