Well it is midnight and I should be asleep in bed like the rest of my family, but I am not tired!!! I think my body got used to the lack of sleep and I just can't manage to turn my head off, it just keeps thinking and thinking...
Tobi has been really sick this week (still). He and poor little El must have the same bug. After I thought he was getting better and started eating again, the vomiting started. OMG did he vomit. It is so scary to see so much vomit come out of a little one. So that combined with temps of 39, runny poos and a very lethargic, needy and dopey baby we took him up to the hospital again last night. They ran tests this time and luckily it wasn't anything serious and has a virus that is going around. Blood tests aren't fun and my DH cried watching little man scream. He is better today and keeping his food down. On a bright note though... my cleaver boy peed in a cup on command and North Shore paediatrics department is good. I feel like one of those Mums that are always at the doctor with my hypochondriac baby, but it is all so confusing and scary when they are sick and I just don't want to risk it.
Sheets?? Tobi wears summer PJ's to bed with usually a sheet and blanket. His room is about 25 degrees most nights. If it is above 27, then I put the fan on and no blanket. He will kick off the blankets as he is going to sleep and I will check on him after he falls asleep. If I notice the temperature changes a lot during the night I will get up and check on him and adjust his blankets accordingly.
Its not actually the sheets thing that is worrying us at the moment. Tobi has started a habit of flipping onto his belly and sticking his legs out the side of the cot. I don't know whether to just put him onto his belly initially or not. Is anyone else putting their babies on their bellies to sleep or have bubs that roll over onto the bellies during the night?
Jayne - Congratulations for Claudia sleeping through the night. That's fantastic. I hope she keeps it up. It is funny how organised you can be without a man around the house, I totally understand. I hope the homecoming is all you and your girls wish for and more.
Kirsten - What are Little Feet classes? What types of things do you do?
Chris and Catherin - How are your little ones? I hope they are feeling better. Having a sick baby can be soo exhausting.
Michelle - How are you feeling sweetie? If only we could take sick days.
Ryn - Hows the sleeping issues going? I have had to cut out chocolate and caffeine out of my diet from noon so it doesn't affect Tobi, thus I am looking forward to weaning him. I wish I could help you out somehow.
Kym - That's fantastic that Monkey is sleeping in her cot and getting to sleep in 10-20minutes. That's great. You two deserve a pat on the back!!
Kristy - Hi and Welcome. OMG you and I must be twins (a high school saying)!!!! My baby boy was born on the 28th too and I have been married for three years and been with my hubby for eight years too.
Well I think that will do for tonight. I might go and try this sleep thing again.
Take Care
