I know what you mean TG, just when I think Sienna is giving me more sleep at night she'll break the cycle. Although fingers crossed it has been four nights in a row that she's gone 6- 8 hours between feeds overnight. I had 6 straight hours of sleep last night, it was fantastic. Unfortunately I got mastitis last week, not fun, still on antibiotics and breasts starting to feel better.
How fast the time has gone though, can't believe Sienna is almost 7 weeks!
Kathryn, 6-8hrs- that's awesome.
We had a 6 hr block the other night and I thought we were getting somewhere, only for Olivia to take 5 hrs to get to sleep last night. She was waaaay overtired and cranky and we were taking turns trying to get her to sleep. My sister had bought us that book "Go the F to sleep" which I was thinking about whilst pacing the kitchen at 12:30am.
Finally put her in her cot and we gave up and kept telling her (from our bed) to go to sleep. And she did.
Just finished my lunch and she's awake again. She's gone from doing poos every nappy to wet, wet, wet, poo plosion! Wakes herself up after an hour, which is too soon for a feed but then after changing her she's like 'what now?'
Hope everybody is going well. It's been a bit quiet in here
We do mostly 2-3hours during the day but have had a few 4, 5 and even on 7.5hr blocks of sleep. Its amazing when I wake up and realise Ive been asleep for so long!
It wont be too long until we get some good night sleeps in a row. So far I get one good night then back to every 3hr feeding the following night.
Not much else is really happening. Just trying to get into a rhythm with bubs and DD1. So harder to be motivated to take both of them out sometimes cause its just so much more work.
Tried to go back to the gym today but apparently they are saying I have high blood pressure so I have to go to the doctors and get that checked out before I can start to get this bubs/IVF weight off....I just want to feel fitter again....
