ok girls, see you soon
if you get lost, call me- have you both got my mobile?
just a tip - better off approaching mountain from montrose (canterbury rd) than ferntree gully if possible?
Hope everyone is having a good time at the meet-up.
Trill, DH has been really good lately and giving me quite a bit of time for study/naps. I don't think he understands how exhausting first tri can be, but he is being very helpful.
MD, I don't think it is blankets because she is not even in bed when she is up late. She is wide awake playing in the lounge. I have tried to get her to sleep before she is tired but it just doesn't work. We do tea, bath, play and bed every night. Some nights she will go to bed at 8pm, then others she is up until 11pm with the same routine. Generally after a late night she will have an earlier day nap the next day and then an earlier night, but the day after she is back to a later day nap (around 2pm) and may or may not go to bed early. It really just seems like she doesn't need a lot of sleep.
had a LOVELY time today guys! thanks guys! and especially a big thanks to Ginger for letting us invade (and trash lol) your home...i am so sorry that i didnt even offer to clean up...man, that is so embarrassing
MP: it was great to see you babe...was too long between drinks...or in this case between kids lol! sorry that we couldnt hang out longer (yes, i got lost guys )
Arte: i'm not sure how this will go down...but i *think* i was alot like Amelia...i seriously just couldnt sleep until say 11pmish. apparently i was always like that. in the end the only rule that mum (and my Oma and Opa when i lived with them) was that the light had to be off and i had to be in bed and not talking too loudly. i guess A is prolly too young to be given such specifics, but i reckon that if you can just get her to try chilling out in her bed. my problem was that i just could never turn my brain off. now i wish that i had of had some relaxation techniques or something up my sleeve back then (it wasnt stress btw, just constant thinking and daydreaming ITMS).
Glad you all had a good time. Wish I could come one day.
Cass, I strongly suspect she is just the sort of person who doesn't need much sleep. She has always survived on a few 20 minute catnaps when other babies were sleeping for 3-4 hours during the day and she has stayed up late ever since she was a newborn. I can see the cycle - early, early, later, very late, early etc, like she stores up on sleep when she goes to bed at a normal time and then after a couple of days she is just not tired enough to go to sleep. My next kid is going to sleep. I have put in a pre-order lol Surely it isn't too much to ask to get one out of three that will actually go to bed and sleep the whole night!
