Tonights debacle...

So I was on track to be in bed by 11pm, fairly unusual for me... I was quite looking forward to it.  

Bubs woke at 10.30pm or so, she was given her bottle - 210mls, was then changed, then popped back in to bed.
Dad was reading with the lamp on, and this proceeded to wake Bubs out of her milky slumber, he continued to read for 20 mins or so as she lay in her cot talking, squealing... wanting to play.

Meanwhile, I went in to check H... my usual routine, only to find she had wet the bed, first time in months!  I redressed her and transferred her into bed with Dad (who had by now turned the light off - but was still listening to Bubs babble away.

H went straight back to sleep (thankfully), whilst Bubs didn't.  I went back to H's room and began to change the sheets, so I could transfer H back to her own bed.  Bub's began to cry.

I went back in to my room, and took Bubs out of her cot (she had poo'ed), changed her for a second time and sat with her on the sofa, patting her back gently in the hope she would go back to sleep.  She started grabbing at my face... obviously wanting to play!

I put her back in to her cot... I needed to finish changing H's sheets, so I could transfer her back.  Once finished, I relocated H, and she went straight back off to sleep.

Bubs remained awake, Hubby soon bought her back out... possibly in the hope I would take over?  I'm unsure?  He then took her back to her bed, and tried to go back to sleep himself.  
I made another bottle - 120mls, which she later chucked up on me, burped her, and popped her back into bed, this time she remained quiet, and quickly fell into sleep.

It only took 330mls of formula, 2 nappy changes and 2 hours to get her back to sleep.
But tomorrow is another day!

I'm back!

I know, I know, Its been quite some time!  You may have thought I had fallen off the face of the earth... thankfully I didn't... I am still here... I had just become lazy... and forgetful... but... I should get back to it. 
I think attempting to do a daily entry was hard, with two little ones... and a daily entry, slowly turned into every second day, or even more.

I have decided rather than doing entries regularly, I will just do them as things eventuate... that way you don't feel obliged to read every entry and there is no stress for me trying to remember to make an entry every couple of days!
