Hello Ladies,
Remember me?
I've quickly caught up on everything ( I think ). I'm sorry I just went AWOL. I've had a rough time ( so have lots of us by the sounds ). Claudia has had 5 ear infections in the space of 4 months. Sadly, last night we had a GOOD night, which was that she woke every 2 hours instead of every 1 hour. I'm lucky if she sleeps 35 minutes twice a day. It's just been hell, there is no other way to gloss it over. Jessica ( my oldest ) has had her tonsils removed & I loved staying overnight in hospital with her because I got some sleep while Alan stayed at home with Claudia & fed her EBM. Claudia is not a cuddly baby, if I could cuddle her & take her to bed with me, it would solve all my problems. She does like sleeping by herself but can't transfer from 1 sleep cycle to another on her own. She DOES put herself to sleep most days & nights & usually there is a tiny grizzle, but mostly not a sound from her, but she just can't go through the sleep cycles without waking. I think it's a habit she formed with her ear infections & I'm finding it very difficult to break.
On the upside, she is crawling, finally eating solids & saying some words. At least there has been some rewards in there!

RYN _ Hooley Dooley on Liebs walking, that is damn well amazing! GOOD ON YOU!!!

SMYLIE _ Sorry to hear that Jem is a sick little rabbit. The poor Chooken. Claudia had a hacking cough like that for quite a while & she would end up vomiting everywhere after a bit coughing episode. It's not nice so I sympathise with you! WTG on implementing the routine!

I have to leave it there as Claudia has a revolting smell following her backside as she's crawling around. eeewww!
