It seems my boys are taking it in turns to get me up in the middle of the night! Grrrrr! Thursday night Jack woke me up crying (can't even remember what the time was) and wouldn't settle. He wanted me to get in bed with him so in I jumped. No sleep there, he would alomost be asleep & then sit up & look at me & say "I got mum in my bed!". He went to sleep after about half an hour but I didn't! Wriggle, wriggle! He's getting some teeth - poor little bugger!
Friday night Oscar got up at #.45 for a feed - that was ok - but then just as I was almost asleep started crying & wouldn't settle! Teething, so cruel! I was up with him until 6am, got back to bed & got to sleep then Jack was up at 7.30 (which is normal). James got up with him & let me stay in bed - not that I slept but at least I got a rest I suppose - until Oscar got up at 8.30.
Last night I got a phone call from my cousin that has gone up to my best friends place in Bendigo for the weekend to do a Lorraine Lee Linen Party for her - at 11.30 pm! I am in bed by 10pm at the latest & they know this - grrrrr! They rang the house phone but by the time I got to it they had hung up & were ringing my mobile - a video call! So they are passing the phone around saying "where are you I can't see you properly, it's dark, it's not that late - oops, sorry it is that late, hehe!". There was my cousin, my best friend & her boyfriend (who is my hubbies best mate - I introduced them, seem to be very good at that but that's another story), hubbies other best mates wife & her 10 1/2 month old! What the hell he was doing up at that time of night has got me! I said hello to them all then said seeya & hung up! An hour later Jack was crying his little eyes out, so in I go (hubby hadn't uqite woken up enough to go in) & he wants me to get in his bed again! Great! In I hop - same again - "I got mummy in my bed!". Half an hour & he was asleep, but if I tried to get out so I could sleep he woke up! at about 2.30 Oscar woke up for a feed & Jack actually let me get out of his bed & went to sleep. I fed Oscar and went to my OWN bed to try & sleep! 6am & Jack is crying - AGAIN! Get up, take him to the toilet & he wants to get in "mum's bed" so we get in & he won't sleep, just wriggle & cuddle!
Oh my! The way it's working out Jack will sleep tonight & Oscar won't! I have Oscar on the Brauer Teething Relief now - I swear by it - so maybe he won't wake up screaming! Here's hoping! Might have to dose Jack up on panadol before he goes to bed tonight. Lucky hubby is on 2 weeks holidays now otherwise I don't think I'd survive 2 kids on the amount of sleep I've had in the last 3 days! lol!
Well that's my rant for today - sorry it's so boring! hehe |
