Hi Ladies - Not sure if this will be coherent as i have had a grand total of 6.5 hrs sleep in the last 72hrs and even that was not in a solid block.

Unfortunately I have been covering some night shifts as a staff member is away on leave and I stupidly agreed to covering for her way back before Bella was even born.

For some reason Bella has decided that at 7wks of age she is too grown up to sleep during the day - therefore I can not sleep either. So finishing work at 2:30am and getting home by 3:30am to fall into bed only to get out of it again at 6am when both girls seem to wake up.

Bella seems to have grown one heck of a lot in this past week. We had 3 nights in a row last week where at 5pm (almost on the dot) the poor little thing started screaming for no apparent reason - and continued to scream for 3-4 hours straight each time. No gas, no explosive poop just inconsolable. And suddenly she seems bigger?! So could it have been growing pains?

Me - well not much to report. Darren is in the dog house and I am not yet sure how I am going to deal with him sans violence. LOL Really am not happy with the father of my 7week old offspring - but what can you do?

Very quiet in here so we must all be busy!
