I am soooo tired today as many of you are as well. I have been feeling sick all day and it was hot too. On top of that, Monique is teething and has been impossible to put down. Well, she goes down for her night sleep at 7pm but then wakes at 8pm and is then impossible to put down. Luckily panadol helped us tonight but she wakes up and then stands in her cot and screams because she can't get back down
Nic, I know exactly how you feel getting up all through the night but Monique doesn't think it is up time that early in the morning (well rarely anyway). I am up so many times I am on auto pilot now and don't remember. I really need to rethink what we are doing here with sleeping and Bek, I like your style. I might try that although it gets so frustrating when she rolls straight over and sits or stands up then I lie her back down but rolls over again - you get the picture. She likes to be cuddled and hold our hand when she is nodding off but I get so sore from holding her.
I am nearly nodding off and forgetting everything so will catch up with you all later on.
I going to go insane.. She is awake and screaming her head off.. not due for panadol.. all she wants is for me to stand up.. i am not going to.. I actually put her on the lounge floor and went back to my room to calm myself down before.. I am back out here but ignoring her completly..
WHY does she need to scream the house down.. I don't know whats wrong.. she doesnt want her cup, or a feed she wasn't cold, she doesn't want to get into bed with me....
No idea hun but i'm hoping she has calmed down now
Had a full on day and Molly still had a bit of a temp but not as bad as yesterday. I'm thinking teeth but who knows. Had all the IL's here for dinner tonight as it was FIL's birthday las fri They wanted to go out for tea but i said i wouldnt be taking the kids to a restaurant at 7.30pm at night. Anyways from me saying i wasnt taking the kids out that late i somehow managed to end up with 10 adults plus kids here for tea *sigh* I get so frustrated though as NO ONE helps clean up etc and it cost us more to feed everyone than it would have for us to have gone to dinner and pay a babysitter. And to top it off they cracked the *****s cos Molly was in bed b4 they arrived (they didnt get here til 7pm) and then cos i wanted to put DD1 to bed. In the end they played her against me saying things like oh but Mia you want to stay up with nanna dont you etc etc so she didnt go to bed til after 8.30pm and now tomo i know i'm in for a shocking day.
I'm exhausted so time for bed.

She finally calmed down after 40 mins. I found a easy listening radio station and rocked her.. she was then calm enough to feed then we went to bed. She woke at 1 doing the same thing but it only laster 5 mins before she gave up went back to sleep. she is feeding now and looking like she will go down fo a nap...

Hope olivia settles for you!

Bekz - i dont think its bad what u do with loren, 'the nanny' does that too LOL
Oh Nic I can totally sympathise. We had a night like that too. DH was out and I was home on my own with a screaming baby who definately did not want to go to sleep. She had panadol, bongela, cuddles, time in bed with mummy and nothing worked - until DH got home I think she was wondering where he was and wasn't going to sleep until she knew. Very worried now as DH is going to be away Fri and Sat nights and I don't think I can stand the screaming like that 2 nights in a row
