YES!!! LOTS!!
i'm loving every minute of it, but it makes keeping up with people and persies so very difficult! we are in the midst of a wonder week (yup, she gets the teeth through that are giving her grief, has ONE good night, then the WW kicks in!) - will sleep on me, will sleep in her cot during the day. but at night, try to settle her, she goes into a deep sleep in the bed beside me, try moving her to the cot so that i can sleep comfortably - not a chance! she wakes up, kicks her legs, flaps her arms, is as chipper as anything - no matter how late it is! last night she didn't want to go to sleep so i took her to bed at 9.50 - 11.30 she finally crashed into a deep enough sleep we though we could move her (this was after being put in her bed twice and ending up coming back to feed again and again) - nope! ended up cracking the poos, putting her between us and just closing my eyes. no idea what time she eventually crashed, but she got put in her own bed about 3, slept til 5, had another feed. woke again at 6.50 (10 mins before i was getting up to try and get a shower before DH left for work), feeding for 20 mins, then fighting sleep while i had a quick dunk and DH was still around to resettle her. she has now been asleep since then, but it's not a deep sleep - she is stirring a lot. won't get her up til she wakes properly though as we're going shopping with mum today - the more rested she is the better! lol
this is kinda the pattern for most nights for us - which is getting very tiresome. DH and I have a theory that she wants to be an only child and is trying to put us off the idea of another (or is trying to prevent another happening in her own way!) - she is such a beautiful natured little girl most of the time though - her master plan isn't working! we had a bad morning the other morning when she was tired (17 tanties in just over half an hour) - but episodes like that are so few and far between.... she has moments where i wonder what is going through her brain cos she seems so much older and frustrated with her limitations - but mostly, she is a happy, smiley, chatty, engaging little girl. ahhhh mummy is in love!
so, with all this going on, and keeping up with a couple of friends that have had some issues, helping DH find his place in life now that he can't drive trucks, organising E's birthday and getting ready to go back to work, i tend to read, but just not have time to post persies - it's not that i don't care, i just run out of time!! this thread and my baby buddies stay open all day some days with the intention of getting back to it to post - and nothin!
argh - best away - might have time to post in baby buddies before e gets up! or maybe a hot cuppa... decisions decisions...
