Misty - I'm hearing you. It's hard sometimes with 3. My DD has just started school and if anything, it makes our days more hectic with the drop off and pick up! Hope you get over this hump soon Congrats on getting your Ps! I was a late bloomer too, I didn't get mine till I was about 22 I think.
Saffi - Happy 6 months to Immy! Good luck with the cot transition, we are already in our cot but thinking of moving him into his own room soon.
mrz - Congratulations on the arrival of your little girl
TK - How did your appt go? I hope you are feeling better soon. Motherhood is a huge adjustment for everyone, so be kind to yourself.
Trish - How's the Safe-t-sleep going?? How is Joel liking school?
We are doing well. Still not having great nights around here but it has improved slightly over the last week.
Question for those with good day nappers - how many naps is your bub having now? We are still doing 3 but I'm finding the timing isn't working well any more. He wakes at about 7-7.30am and I get him up for the day because we need to get ready for the school run. We get home at about 9.15am and he goes straight down for a nap, usually sleeps till about 10.30-11.00am. So then he's ready for another nap 2 hours later, generally about 12.30pm-1pm. This is where it gets hairy....he generally wakes at around 2.30pm but sometimes as late as 2.45pm. I have to wake him at that time in any event to get to school to pick DD up. But then if I want him to have another nap before dinner, he has to go down by 4pm (4.30pm at the absolute latest) and I wake him by 5pm if I want him to go down well at night. Problem is, he's just not ready for another nap at 4pm most of the time, but going from 2.30pm to 7pm is too long to stretch him out The last two days he has woken from his second nap at about 2pm so has gone down for his last nap OK (sleeping from 4-5pm). But then has been very hard to settle for bed that night. Today he woke at 2.45pm so I tried to put him back down at 4pm (so he'd only been awake 1 hr 15 mins) and didn't want a bar of it. I tried for about 1/2 hour then gave up.
I think it's just one of those awkward phases where he is not quite ready for 2 naps but doesn't always need 3
