I'm sooo tired
Last night was DH's first night shift back since our miscarriage, I just knew something was going to happen :wall:
I was about to go to bed at 11pm and Moo woke up screaming. I gave him pain relief in case it was teeth, tried to pat him back off to sleep, gave him drinks, tried to cuddle him and read him stories but everything I did just made him cry harder! Because he was so tired he was clumsy, so kept tripping over which made him cry even harder!
I didn't know what to do, I just wanted to go to bed but he doesn't like co sleeping, just thinks it's all a game. In the end he was trying to open the fridge so I gave him some grapes...he ate the whole little bowl full! Then he wanted more, then he wanted toast and on it went. So I don't know if he was that hungry or not but at least the crying had stopped.
Everytime I mentioned bed or carried him back to his room he'd start screaming and crying. Eventually I tried again about 1am and he did fall asleep after screaming for 10 minutes.
By the time I fell asleep it was at least 2am :doh: And then at 5am he started up again! I didn't get him up as I didn't want him starting the day so early, I was shattered from hardly any sleep. Once again I tried patting, cuddles etc in the cot, more pain relief...he eventually fell asleep at nearly 6am.
I'm on my own again tonight and I'm hoping we don't have a repeat :pray: I'm exhausted!

Thanks for the hugs girls, certainly was a crazy night! Just needed to tell someone :lol:
It's funny how you get into the rhythm of night wake ups when they're little babies, but get a few months of uninterrupted sleep and you can't handle it!

So true! I reckon it's the hormones that get you through in the early days... Without them we're left as walking zombies!

Hopefully he'll be so tired tonight and sleep through for you.
Regards,

Those random nights are horrible! :hug: The only upside is I generally find the following night is MUCH better and everyone gets to catchup on some sleep. I hope that happens for you tonight hon :hug:
