Hi all you tired mums!!! I am definitely one of you too!!!!

Telly – Definitely FF is not helping with Abbey’s sleep….she’s a nightmare at the moment but I’ll get to that later…..so sweet that Theo is touching you like that….a few times Abbey did that to me when I was still BF and your heart just swells doesn’t it?? I really miss that about BF…I’m the same with the giving in thing….every night I say to DH ‘that’s it, tonight’s the night, she’s not coming out of that cot….and every night she ends up on the lounge with me…I’m just so tired I can hardly stand some nights so I cave constantly….obviously cant stick to my guns on much in my life….: (

When I was BF I was doing millions of feeds a day too….I was the same and often thought that she wasn’t getting a big enough feed at the end of the night so she could sleep through….who knows, who knows….

Ali & Mel – These Amber necklaces sound interesting….I would have to sneak one on Abbey too I think as DH would go nuts about how much they cost…..it’s funny the things ‘people give to you’…..iykwim….he he he!

Kymmy – Cant remember if I congratulated you for Archies bloods coming back normal – great great great news for the big fella!!!

Snowy – We are always on JD’s case when Abbey’s asleep to be quiet…the poor fella cant cop a break….after living with him the last 4.5 months Abbey should be able to sleep through anything he’s that noisy!!!

Natty - Go the BFing!! Dont worry about anyone else - you are doing the best thing for V!

AFM – Sleep is something of the past in this house too…..gawd…..If I get any more than 1.5 hours straight I’m lucky…..

She’s taken a dummy the last couple of nights but that’s not all of the time…I try to let her whinge but I cant let her go completely off her nut cause that will wake JD up then I’ll have 2 to deal with at whatever hour so I have to get to her as quick as I can drag myself out of bed….

I was that tired the other night I was giving her a bottle on the lounge and I fell asleep and when I woke up an hour later she had moved her head away from the bottle and I was feeding the lounge…BAHAHAHAHAA!!! Hilarious….it was soaked cause the pressure was on the teat so the milk just kept seeping out!! Now, that’s bad isn’t it!!!

Again I was on the lounge this morning with me up one end and Abbey up the other and out comes JD at 5:10am….I could have cried….way way too early to cope with this….I put his DVD on and told him to be quiet but she was still up at 5:40 so I got DH up at about 6:30 and went back to bed for about 45 mins until he had to get ready for work….before that she was up from 11:30pm onwards every hour or so!!! I was going to be in all sorts of a mood if I didnt get at least some sleep...

Feeding though seems to be going better routine wise….about 5 or 6 feeds a day but she never drinks it all at once….still cat napping during the day but I can handle that if she’s happy while she’s up and lets me get things done….Jolly Jumper is working well and so is the Jungle Gym thing that she lies under that lights up and sings to her….gets pretty sick of the bouncer chair pretty quick as she knows that she’ll be stuck in it for a long time so that’s not so good. Rolling over all the time though and gets the cranks so forever rolling her back!!! Also grabbing onto EVERYTHING that is in front of her...I was looking at my Ipod this afternoon and she was all over it! I couldnt type a thing!

Tried her on some Farex yesterday and today and she wasn’t too bad with it….ate a fair amount tonight but she’s whinging already and only been asleep for about an hour so I think it will be a long night again…

Raving on again aren’t I!!! I need to get on here more often so my posts are shorter…

Anyway ladies….hope at least some of us get a decent sleep tonight!!
