Up to 8 Wake Ups and a Sudden Velcro Baby

[bubno.3]

I do know what you mean, I have been there many times, but somehow you manage to put on foot in front of the other and keep going (most of the time)
Now this might be frowned upon but I have been known to "snooze" on the lounge while DS plays around me . Of course I know there is nothing he can get into and I either have some toys that he is really into or the TV. I am not fully asleep and wake at the slightest strange noise but it has helped when I have been desperate. The first couple of times it happened I didn't know cause I just couldn't keep my eyes open so when I knew I was like that I prepared more. Hope that made sense

I have done that too.... i used to barricade the lounge room off so my ds1 couldnt get into the kitchen and i used to fall asleep on couch ...
(the unit was small and it worked so well the tv is a great distraction when you are exhausted)

Blue knows that bed is for sleep so will scream blue murder if we go there before bedtime ...LOL

I won't put him on formula - no way - no how.
I know he's getting enough he's 8kgs for crying out loud so all the well meaning ppl IRL who tell me he's not sleeping because he's "starving" can go jump heheehhe

He loves TV but not enough to keep him entertained in his swing etc while I sleep - and to be honest my body just will not sleep during the day - I've never been able to - even back in my partying days ...LOL

oh well as the others say you will need to ride this one out with your bub.... i can imagine a few walks in the pram today may be in order so you dont go stir crazy if bub wont settle for you ....i remember that all to well. If its teeth you can try some panadol that may settle him down and just maybe make bub sleep!

I thought of that but he's not grizzly and don't want to give him anything if it's not absoluetly necessary IYKWIM

What did you say to your Dh when he wanted you to 'fix' him ?

Dont you love the male species at times NOT!

DH told me last night that I musn't be as tired as I say if I won't go to bed for a few hours when he gets home - thats because you will fall asleep on the couch when "watching" DS darling

OMG thats funny but so annoying as well....

This is getting of your topic a tad (and please take this the right way) but: does your DH help you when he gets home or does he believe that the baby is your domain ?
