Hi girls. Still sleep deprived here. I'm so tired I can't get to sleep. I don't even know if I've fallen asleep the last couple of nights, if I have it's been for no more than an hour at a time, a couple of times a night. I am going insane. I know a lot of parents get dealt with kids like this so maybe I'm just a weak person because I cannot cope anymore. I'm sick of being so tired I can't think but if I work from home and try to sleep when I get so tired that I can't think, I can't sleep. I can't get to sleep for hours when I go to bed early at night. I can't get to sleep for ages when I go to bed late. Or when T wakes us up overnight. I'm sick of getting sick because I'm so run down. I'm sick of having a house that is eternally untidy and dirty (can't help with the sickness either). I'm sick of not having the energy to think of dinner in time. I'm sick of fighting with DH because we're both so tired and don't know what to do.

Sorry for the vent. I know I'm not the only one here with crap to deal with!

OP - I used to worry about T's place in the percentiles but now I've just accepted he's skinny like me & DH! SOunds like X is finding his fit, and it sounds like it's tall and slim!

How's X's sleep going at the moment?

I finally took T to get immunised last Thursday. I didn't want to do it while any of us were not well, but he might be 5 by the time that happens at the rate we're getting sick lately! But he seemed reasonably healthy at the time. My dad came with us and held T while the nurse administered the shots. T managed to thrash his limbs about while the needle was going in which was seriously scary. He even knocked the needle out of the nurse's hand.

Dr Tal - I really feel for you guys! Hugs!!!! Poor little B, your poor DH, poor you!

Sal, glad to hear E is such a great little boy. And I love that you are so grateful for your two healthy and happy kids. It makes me feel slackk that I can't focus on the good things in my life more, rather than get so stressed about being constantly tired!

Adios amigas.
