Morning all!
I have been MIA for the past few days cause it has been really nice to be able to spend full days with DH again. He is here for this week again and then off to townsville for another week. then he is back for 2 days and then I go to townsville!! Yay!!! Can't wait!!
Viv- I believe you asked about wakeful babies?? For the past 3 nights caitlyn has been going to bed as usual at 6-630 and then waking up as usual at about9 for a dummy and then 11-12 for a feed. And then after that I am lucky if she sleeps for an hour at a time. Last night from 11pm she slept for a total of maybe 3 hours. Which of course means I slept for a total of 3 hours - if I am lucky. Pretty much 50 min sleeps at a time and then awake for another hour or so. I don;t think she is sick and it doesnt look like she is teething or anyting. Guess it might just be a growth spurt (touch wood)
Lizzymum- the no-wrapping was a non-event. she woke up after half an hour each time I got her to settle - I guess she just isnt ready for no wrarp.
i hear you about the MIL being 800 km away too. Mine is as well, unfortunately so are my parents. And my brother and sister. They havent seen Caitlyn since she was 1 month old so when I go there in 14 days (yes I am counting!) they are going to get a shock.
Saffi-glad you enjoyed your break away! I also have issues with my MIL giving C stuff that I don't want her to have - thats why she has a dummy. MIL gave it to her after we left Caitlyn with her for an hour - she couldnt stand the crying. and whats worse....when we came back she was sitting in her lounge room nursing Caitlyn and SMOKING!!! Oh the stories I could tell you about my mIL!! My fav so far is the HUGE fight she had with DH that had all 3 of us in tears and then she came to talk to me and asked if she could bathe caitlyn. I said ok of course wanting to make things a little better. Little did I know that she had consumed 3 BOTTLES (yes bottles!) of wine in the space of about 4 hours! Grrrrr
Anyway - I guess I had better go and get my tired, grumpy butt ready to go to work! Have just posted a new pic of Caitlyn to my gallery!! Pumpkin and the cow!!
Have a great day everyone!! MWAH
