Hi girls,

Well, everyone sounds like they're having a bit of a hard time at the mo. We're still struggling with sleep.
I'm up at least 2 times a night, up to 5. There was one night she only woke once so that was good to catch up a little. DH is helping, but Lil is being clingy and wants me, so it's easier for me to get up in the night and him get up in the morning.
Last night was a bad night, up 5 times. I'm buggered, I just want more than 3hours sleep straight! As well as being up to pee or get a drink or just being uncomfortable and unable to sleep...last night I was awake for 2 hours before I went to sleep on the lounge and it still took me at least 30mins to get back to sleep. Then Lil was up at 6am, though DH took her then and I got to sleep a bit longer. But she knows I'm in the room if the door is closed and she knocks and calls 'mumumumummmm!!!' so not a sleep in really!
I'm going to work tomorrow though so DH will take her all night. He even offered to sleep on the lounge and I could shut the door so I could sleep better. How sweet, though I declined, I can't turn him out of his own bed . And though it will be great to get a better night's sleep, I really don't want to go to work.
I went to the counsellor the other day. She told me that I'm most likely not to the point of depression. I have some mummy issues that most mums have and sleep deprevation apparently. Though most mums arent in tears almost everyday...I felt a bit (scoffed at/brushed off)? by her, for want of better words. She said she tought I had the resources to deal with it and I'd probably be ok when I get better sleep. Then told me to call her if I felt I needed her, as if I'd call her when she made me feel how she did!
Anyway, sorry for the big 'poor me' post. I hope all our bubs get their acts together! And that tomorrow is a great day for us all!
Hugs to all
