Hello!

I have had a horror last few days. Emily is refusing to sleep during the day. The last two afternoons she has been refusing to settle and just screams whenever I put her in the cot. She is happy to be picked up and sit in bouncer/lie on playmat but anything bed related produced screaming. It really drove me crazy. Today she is also on a hunger strike and fed well at 6am then had an ok feed at 9am and nothing decent since (it is 6pm!). I have been out all day today as could not cope with another screaming afternoon and basically have not tried to get her to sleep. She has been awake with a couple of naps since 8am but just fell asleep in DH's arms while he was warming a bottle of expressed milk (to see if she would take it as refusing breast). Not sure how long she will sleep just glad she is. Not really sure what to do. I am home all day tomorrow so hopefully we can establish some sort of routine but whether I am home or not sleep in teh day is always an issue. I might call Tresillian tomorrow if she is bad again.

Anyway just wanted to vent..DH is being wonderful and cooking dinner while I do nothing (even though he has a sermon to prepare for the weekend and should be doing that)

We were also planning to start trying again for another in 3-6 months but Emily being difficult makes me wonder if we should. However we are not being all that careful now so might just happen.

I hope everyone has a lovely mothers day whether first or not. As corny as it sounds just spending time with Emily is reward enough
