Thank you so much Jessica
You've taken the time to help me and I really appreciate it  :)
This has been our routine today:
06.00 - wake (yay!!!)
07.00 - bottle
08.00 - breakfast
09.30 - sleep (3/4 hr)
12.00 - lunch
14.00 - sleep (2hrs)
16.00 - bottle
17.30 - dinner
18.30 - bottle
19.00 - bed
Hopefully everything will go ok tonight, she went off really well and didn't mind me leaving her in bed although I did have to go back in and lay her down!
You have been so understanding and supportive, thank you  :-*
Will report back tomorrow  :)

Thanks Jessica  ;D
I'm feeling quite positive although I'm not under any illusions.  I learnt that lesson with ds, you think you've got it licked and then they throw it back at ya!!!
She has been a bit unsettled tonight but only needed minimal settling.
It's a lovely community here, I can see myself getting quite comfy  ;D
Thanks again for all your support.

Glad you feel that way  ;D  A lot of times people come here just to ask a question, especially on the sleep boards, and then they never come back. Which is fine but it's always nice to see people stick around, and hear how things turn out with the LOs.

It really is true that as soon as you get things right there's something else. That's what's nice about hanging around here - it's easier to sort things out with input from so many people.

Lol I know, ds is 3 and some days I think to myself 'hold on a minute you little monkey, you wasn't doing that yesterday!' whether it be tantrums (nightmare at the mo!) or clinginess (bless him).  Will be nice to stick around and get to know people and ofcourse if I can share any advice then that'll be great.
Off to bed now incase my little minx decides to give me mutliple wake up calls  ;)
Speak to you tomorrow  :)

Well she woke up a grand total of..........TWICE  :o  ;D
She had been a bit unsettled throughout the evening as I'd said before but settled down.  She woke at 12.30am and just needed her dummy popped in (I know I really must try and get her off the dummy) and then didn't wake until 4.40am and wouldn't be settled so once again we brought her into our bed and she slept until 6.40am.  I know it's not ideal (bringing her into bed) but we're getting much needed sleep after months of only 3-4hrs a night and ds gets to sleep for a bit longer without being disturbed.  I'm wondering if her teeth have settled down a bit now she's cut her first two?  Whatever it is I'm just pleased she seems more settled and we're getting more sleep.
It's strange how if they sleep well in the day they tend to sleep well at night but she did have that 2hr sleep yesterday afternoon so perhaps that helped?
I'm sure it'll all turn on its head again so I'll make the most of it while I can!
Thank you so much for all your help, it's been so nice to come and chat where people really do understand.

Hi Jessica
Think I spoke too soon lol.
I cannot even tell you how many times she woke in the night, this has happened before, a few 'goodish' nights followed by quite a few 'bad' nights.  However this morning she has got a blocked nose so perhaps she's coming down with something, I'll just keep my eye on her.  I don't think we're out of the woods yet!

He's ok, I think it's a teething stuffy nose. We shall see! Hope yours gets better soon too.
