    Sounds like we are all hsving day sleep trouble Yesterday to get MissJ to sleep I went for an hours walk along the river with the pram - she slept the whole time. Then in the arvo she slept for an hour in the sling while I walked around the shops (not my idea of fun!). Today to get her to have a sleep I had to go to bed and have a sleep with her - we got 1.5hrs so that was good. At the moment if I'm not holding her she's cracking it so she is making it hard to do anything! Night is ok and we can usually get her to bed by 8pm after 1.5hrs of trying but she will sleep until 7.30 (with feeds of course) but in between she's fighting sleep and refuses to go in the cradle.

    OP- they say that most babies have a 'witching' hour - don't they just get cranky. A GF had 6pm (when DH got home) when bubs was just cranky.

    Nai - that sounds like Alex was - he wouldn't sleep in the day - although the last two days - he's been sleeping really well - except tonight I've snuck him into the bassinette and hoping that he'll sleep on his own.

    AFM - we still get a 3hr sleep first sleep, then a series of 2hr sleeps. Up at 8am this morning, then sleep at 9.30am to 10.30, asleep at 12 to 3pm, and after that I lost track of the sleeps. DH had DS til 4am this morning, so I managed to get 6hrs of sleep (with my bbs about to explode!).

    Hi girls, I have been lurking but no time to do personals as I have my mum here and am trying to make the most of my time with her. It has been great having her here while DD is sick as it puts my mind at ease and I am having a break from the settling, changing nappies, etc. Mum is great at all that. She goes home tomorrow so I will be sad again but at least DD's rash has just started to ease tonight. Mind you it still looks terribly itchy and red but it is not covering her whole face, just parts of it and her neck. Hopefully it gets even better by tomorrow morning.

    Happy Easter to you all. Will have to re-read and catch up on everything later.

    Oh And Laura- I hope everything is okay at home, sounds scary hun

    hey girls
    sorry no time for personals
    just got back from the hossy - my nan just died tonite
    its sad, but she was 91 and died in her sleep tonite
    My dad went to pick her up this morning to bring her over for lunch, and she was on the ground near her bed. She had broken her shoulder when she fell and they took her to hossy. She had an infection so they think that caused her to fall.
    The pumped her full of morphine and she just went to sleep and took her last breath.

    fly free now nan- enjoy your long sleep
    for one to enter the world- one must go- thank you nan

    have a good nite girls
