Hey Priya -
I'm really tired this morning. See my own post :(

I hope she gives you a good night despite the EW and a little bit of fussiness before bed.

Hi Sherry, I saw your post as you probably already know. Hope the new gate fixes the situation. What interesting things I have to look forward to when DD learns to walk :)

We have been having a SHOCKING 2 days. DD started having a runny nose since wednesday night and slept OK but yesterday and last night were a big disaster. I'm still reeling from the shock of it!

Yesterday she had 3 twenty minute naps all day because her nose was so blocked up she couldn't breath properly when she lay down. Then she was so OT last night was even worse :( She was up almost every 40 mins and finally around 6AM she fell asleep a bit more comfortably and she slept till 8.

Not to mention I am also a bit of a wreck because I must have had 1hr total of sleep last night.

Today her nap was a bit better at least she slept from 12 - 1 because I stayed there and patted her at the 20 min mark. Then she woke up and fussed but I AP'd her big time to get her to sleep longer. Eventually she fell asleep properly again around 2 and woke up at 3. So that's somethings.

I did bedtime at 7 she woke 40 mins later but so far after that she's been sleeping.

I guess it will take a week to recover from this :) !!!

Don't worry replying if you're tired as well, as I'm sure you must be. Just wanted to let you know. Is your C'section this friday or next friday? Good luck!

Hi sherry, hope you're doing well. 3 more days to go! yay! how exciting! :)

We seem to be getting back on track, slowly.... today went well though.

She slept well for her nap (from 12 - 2:20 when I woke her up), and went to bed around 7:20. We had a fair bit of cuddling/ holding while she was sick but tonight she went to bed on her own with me just sitting there. So progress!! :)

I guess I'll just keep plodding along on our current routine till things change in a few months time, and then you might come across a frantic post from a sleepless mum in OZ :)

Good luck for Friday and I look forward to hearing from you when you've settled down! Thanks heaps for your help again...

Glad to hear you are back on track :)
Only 2 more sleeps over here until Friday!!! Kind of crazy.
PM me if you need anything. I'm sure I'll be around, but not sure how long it will be before I pop on to the EASY and Toddler Board to offer help :)

I hope things keep going well for you.

Hey Sherry, thanks heaps for that :)

I can imagine it must be getting rather crazy there!! I"ll be thinking of you on Friday night our time which I guess will be the start of Friday for you. Good luck!

I hope things continue like this at least for another few more weeks too !! Last night she STTN..woo hoo! But oddly enough it was only a 10.5hr night. I guess then the 18month sleep drop will hit and our routine will need to be changed. But I"m not even going to think about that until I have to :) :) Right now i'm going to enjoy this as long as it lasts!!

Take care!

Thanks :)
I'll pop in when I can. I'll have "free" time at the hospital because DH will be coming back and forth.
