this is exhausting!!
« on: January 18, 2006, 16:26:31 pm »
Ok, so we rarely have a night that both girls sleep all the way through without waking at least once.  I mean, it probably happens a nite or two a week, but for the most part one of them will wake up to at least be covered up or  something.

Well, this week has just bee horrible.  DH is out of town, and I'm about to fall over asleep. 

Two nites ago, Kiandra woke up a little bit after going to bed, puking.  I got that all cleaned up, but then she didn't go back to sleep til 12:30.  She kept wanting drinks of water, but I didn't want to give her much because I was afraid it'd make her throw up again.  So I'd be almost asleep and she'd start crying for water again.  Then Kalli woke up at 3:30, and Kiandra woke up at 5 and 6.

Then last nite, Kiandra took forever to go to sleep again.  Then she woke up at 2:12, 3:12, 4:01.  She'd wake up and like scream...I'd go in there, and she'd either need to be covered up or she'd just be laying there, eyes closed.  It wasn't a true scream, though...it's this weird growl/scream...doesn't lead me to believe she's having nightmares or anything like that.

Then Kalli woke up at 5:30 and didn't go back to sleep till almost 7:30.  Then Kiandra woke up at 7:45 and started yelling "Mommy!  I'm awake!!"  We need to work on that one.

It's almost 8:30 and Kalli is still asleep.  i'm trying to decide how long to let her sleep because I want her to nap at the same time as kiandra this afternoon so I can nap.  I am so exhausted.  Oh, and add to it I'm feeling really sick the last couple days, and I'm just miserable.  I can't WAIT for DH to get home.

This is mostly a vent, but if anyone has any suggestions, please send them my way.

Hi,I feel so bad for you BIG HUGS

Kiandra is probably up because of the sickness the night before,she may just be having little flashbacks of throwing up.
Also they probably know that Daddy's not there and it's playing on their mind a bit.
As for Kalli wasking up at 5.30am,well that's normal for us so I have no advise for that.
i'd give Kiandra a couple of nights grace,maybe give a some water to take to bed with her just in case,as I said I'm sure it's the after effects of puking.Jess has only been sick twice and it freaked her out for a couple of nights
Take care.Is there any family close that can have them overnight or one day so you can sleep?

Take care
