Hey there sweetie,
Dyllan has ten teeth including two molars which he has cut in the last month or so...poor little sausage. One is all the way through now the other one still coming (though I felt the two points today so it's getting there). Last night I was up with him 4 times...ugghhh...ah well, not feeling too tired today so it's all good!! Getting up to him at the beginning of the day is the hardest for me 'cause I just want to keep sleeping...it was really cold this morning too which didn't help, but a lovely sunny day now!!
We have days with the one nap. If he doesn't have a great one in the morning I'll try for an earlyish pm nap (say about 3pm) and not let him sleep past 4pm 'cause that seems to muck up his night settling...some days he does on one nap, others he has to have two or a good am nap and a catnap...I'm just going with the flow and seeing what I think day to day at the moment
He is tired too because of all the night wakings so the timings are all a bit off!!!
If Oliver is really grumpy and clingy I would say he isn't feeling well, chuck some teething gel on and see if it helps
Dyllan is a bit crabby today too, not surprised considering the nights we have had!!
As to the working question, yes I went back part time the day after Ds 1st birthday (which was hard) I only work 21 hours a week (2 long days) though so it's pretty good. My DH looks after Dyllan one day, which has been great for them both and my MIL looks after him the other day. Dyllan adores his nanny, so we are all really happy with the situation I think
I don't love being away from him, but I don't mind working and it does mean I get to chat to people and it is helping financially....it is what it is I guess!!
even if I am a zombie at work most of the time at the moment LOL...
Hope everything is getting better for you both,
Huge hugs lovely
Lizzie
