Thanks Kate - I'll do that! My dh is out at a work function tonight so I'll have a moment. I have to be in bed by about 8.30 mind you :wink: .
Yes, I'm from the UK but have lived in Sydney since 1998. Love it, but miss the family, especially now that we have the lo. My mum arrives in 3 weeks time for a holiday - can't wait.
Well we had an absolute shocker this morning :cry: . I set the alarm for 3.45 and did wake-to-sleep. She just stirred and turned over a bit, and it all looked great. But then she woke for the day at 4.30am :shock: :cry: . There was no re-settling. She wasn't too unhappy until about 4.50, so I got up and fed her (we are still bf'ing), and put her back into her cot in the vain hope that she may be tired enough to go back to sleep. No such luck. She was OK for another 20 mins, but at 5.10 she started crying so we were up for the day. I actually got straight up and showered, as I can no longer stand hanging around in my PJ's wishing I was still in bed. There is a cafe down the road that opens at 6am, so we shall go down there and I am going to down the biggest coffee they can make for me (we don't bf again until lunchtime :wink: ).
I think despite that I will try to hold out until 8am to put her down for the first nap. I do think that the 2 naps is they key, it's just so hard to get there when the waking is this early. I think I'm just going to have to force it and risk the poor little thing getting overtired.
Aaaargh! Hope you all had better mornings.
Cheers
Emma
