I too am feeling sleep deprivation. Every time I think I have got Erykah's pattern she changes it bless her.

It took us till midnight to settle her last night. She would sleep but as soon as we put her on her back she would throw her arms and legs in the air and grimace in pain and then wake herself up.

I managed to settle her by midnight and then she woke at 2 took an hour to settle down and then woke at 7.30.

She then ate well and then threw up all over me and the carpet poor thing. I managed to get her back down by 10am. Having shed a tear as I felt so tired and wanted to sleep.

Now she is asleep and fed at 12 but I am now unable to drop off having tried.

Typical.

But yes I feel that all I do is feed, wind, change, bath and washing/ironing.

We are having take away tonight with some friends and a bottle of wine. I hope she sleeps but then again our friends would cuddle her to give us a break for a couple of hours.

Can't wait for my mum to arrive 18th Sept for 2 wks. She is dying to help as is my gran but they can't do much being the other side of the world.

Have a good weekend everyone and I will see you in the 1 - 3 months as I will graduate on monday.
