Jo... {{{{HUGS}}}} We are going throught EXACTLY the same thing with Arwyn. I just posted about it on Friday. She has gone from an independent sleeper to a real poop about sleeping over the last 4 weeks or so. Crying, screaming, arching her back and pushing up, etc. I truly think it is developmental and teeth.
Hayley... {{{{HUGS}}}} to you too! Arwyn has also been getting up MANY times in the night and the only way to calm her has been to put her on my breast. Last night was down to 4 wakings. We started off on Thursday night with every hour or less so I am somewhat grateful for this reduction. Hang in there... your good sleeper will come back. Congrats on the bottle!!
Here is our funny story about the time change! Okay... so, Arwyn has been getting up so many times in the night so I decide that I can't make her sleep past 6:30 ish this morning. We get up, do our morning routine... BF, solids, play, (skipped the books) back to bed for a nap. I then went straight back to bed. When she woke 45 minutes later :roll: , I asked DH to get her. I continued sleeping. Sometime later, DH asked if Arwyn should go back to bed... I mumbled yes, thinking he was paying attention to the time.
So, when I woke at 9:30 (new time), I realized that Arwyn was asleep :? I worked this out in my head and I only counted 4 hours, no matter which time I used
. So... I go downstairs to tell DH that I made a mistake and we have just put Arwyn down too early. Well... he proceeds to tell me what they did.
He did the morning routine AGAIN!!! So... minus the BF, Arwyn had more solids, some Baby Einstein time and then back to bed in only 1 hr 30 min! Obviously, she did not mind... she didn't cry for her nap and lately, she always cries for her nap! Both DH and I had a chuckle about that because now, she is on track as she went down for a nap at her regular time, accounting for the time change!!! :lol:
Thank goodness for this additional Y time because both DH and I are knackered. DH is on call for work and had to get up at 2 am and went to work... came back a while later and I have been up and down with Arwyn all night!
Happy belated Erin!
Karen... thinking about you here, going back to work. Hope you have a good first day!
Richelle... 6 am??? and you get up to get ready at 4 am? Hats off to you for doing this even while you have Sophie. How much longer until you go? I am assuming your resignation was successful, right?
Traci... I am thinking you made it to your party as I see no posts.
Did you have a good time?
Hopefully I will catch you guys at the chat tonight. Depends on the kinda night we are having.
