Good morning all!! Its been a little while since I managed to get in here and have a look. We have had THE WORST nights the last two nights - little miss C is waking up every 3 hours again!!! We havent changed anything!! I thought Sunday night might have been bad cause the timing was a bit off for everything. She got a feed early and then at 430 (an hour before he bath, feed, bed time) DH got cranky with her crying and said - take her - I've had enough!!! Hmmm....well of course when she went down at 515 and then was up again at 8, then 11, then 2 then 4 - I had had enough!! And then...when I got back to bed at 445 DH thought me touching him (I was shoving him to get him off my side of the bed!!) was me hitting him up for a bit!! NOT IMPRESSED. So of course back to normal routine yesterday and I was sooooo looking forward to getting some sleep but nooooooo down at 615 as usual up at 1030, then 1, then 4 then I put her into bed with DH and went and slept on the couch!! Got about half an hour before DH's alarm went off.
Coping Not very well at all!! DH works 6 days a week - most days over 12 hours. I have no friends or family out here. No mothers groups or anything like that. I talk more to the lady at daycare who looks after C all day (she is around 50!) than anyone else out here - besides the ladies at work. The last two mornings I have spent in tears after DH has gone to work and have almost needed intravenous coffee to keep me going! Have not lost any weight despite diet and exercise changes. Have absolutely no interest in DTD. and the highlight of my days lately has been getting the mail cause all my birthday presents (and my ebay stuff) are arriving. Time for another visit to my doctor I think.
other than all of that - I am ok. Gave a little vent there so I feel a little better.
In a way I wish I wasnt back at work....there is still so much that I am not getting done around the house even though I start at 10 and finish at 3. I get home and am STARVING so I eat and before I know it its 430 and time to go get C from day care. DH cooking dinner helps.
I cant remember anythign else that I wanted to say and I feel really rude letting all that come out but I think I really needed to say it.
I dont know what I am going to do with C. She is waking all the time cause she is getting out of her wraps. Of course there is nowhere here for me to buy any and I cant find any bigger ones than the ones we have already so I will get a book out and try a different method of wrapping her. I dont seem to have trouble getting her to sleep....its staying asleep that has become impossible.
Anyway - guys I am really sorry for that awfully selfish post!
