    We're in! There has been tag team parent torture here recently - sick kids up each hour, feeding frenzies - the last 3 months have meant between 3-5 hrs of broken sleep max a night. Poor DH has turned up for meetings in the wrong spot/wrong day, very dodgy standards of cooking/cleaning here and we've all put on weight from comfort eating. Not good BUT we are all ok and still in reasonably good humour.
    My 3yo still has her nights, luckily last night was a quick wake up call. DD2 had her first night sleeping through EVER last night. We have had very little sleep here since DD1 arrived - I have tried all sorts of methods and NOTHING worked. I felt like a failure and was very over people making suggestions - but not helping!
    Hang in there girls - you are all doing a great job!!!!!
    That sounds really hard! *yawn* I don't know how you do it!!! I'm with you on the advice... don't people realise that we have tried everything! (Within reason... I wont put port in my DD1's last bottle ).

    Last night was... 11, 2,3,4,6.30... farkle .

    Wow PX that is full on - hope you manage to get a nap today! I cope just like everyone else does - knowing it will pass eventually and optimistically hoping it will be 'tonight'!!! Plus I go to bed really early... no outings here in the evenings - it is just not worth it. Honestly though I have struggled with people being flippant about how it must be something to do with me - MIL is convinced it is what I feed the girls....very annoying!

    Enjoy your day!
