a newborn in the house

29 May 2011 - sunday.

So who took my baby? I had this totally happy, self settling sleepy little bub and she's been switched for a monster. Teething, maybe? Not sure. Anyway, she's waking every 1,5-2 hours, day and night and during the day only napping. She cries when put in her cot. Big crocodile tears. And will NOT stay on her back. The kid is driving me nuts!

I'm holding onto hope that this will pass, she'll remember how to sleep like she did a couple of months ago. 12 hours a night. And I'll never take it for granted again!

Not much else going on here. She's been getting onto all fours and rocking, but cracks it with that pretty quickly when she can't work out how to actually go anywhere. Sleeping in her cot is like a giant game of twister, with her usually ending up along the bottom of the cot sideways now. So long as she's asleep, I'm happy!

I bought a few grobags off ebay so now we have plenty and I don't have to worry about her wiggling her way under blankets.

Oh, and HUGE thanks to bubhub.com.au - I won a book! I'm very excited as this totally made my day. I had a nightmare day after being called every name under the sun by the s***s across the road, even having them barking at my front door. Really. They're only kids but they make me so mad. And the language! My god, i've never been called those things by an adult, let alone three little girls under 12. So that had me mad, as I've promise Hubby I'll ignore them no matter what they do. We just need to sell. I'm hoping and praying someone, anyone, will buy this house soon.

Right now I need to jump in the shower and then hit the sack. Reading an excellent book, so I'll try and get a couple of chapters in before Monkey wakes again. Hubby is out playing with the boys, so no snoring to deal with either! Oh, Downton Abbey started on TV tonight. I've been dying to see it since I first saw the ads at Easter.Monkey woke just as it started, so luckily the topfield is recording away and I can watch it later in the week. Hope it's as good as the ads make it out to be!

Work tomorrow. Not looking forward to it, for a few reasons, so a good nights sleep is a must or I'll be grumpy from tiredness and Monday-itis.
