The Young & The Restless

image

I hear a light thud coming from his room. The door handle jiggles and his little head peers out.

“Mummy?”

Oh no, he’s up again.

It’s just after 11pm and I’m working on my blogs before I head to bed myself, and Jasper is up for the second time since putting him to sleep at 9. He always wakes, it’s like clockwork these days.

The only thing to settle him is to lay down next to him and pretend to sleep yourself. Though these days, you can safely replace the word “pretend” with “go”.

I wake up at 6am, half my body hanging off his tiny toddler bed, let out a sigh and then I smile. It’s not forever, but I’d give anything for night or two of a full night’s sleep.

This is my life too. We usually put Rosie in about 8pm and she’ll wake around 11pm-12am. I am in bed already though! So she will either cry in her bed and wait til we go in and get her, or will come into our room and wait to be ‘picka-up’ and put in our bed. She used to just come in and I could hear her run across the hallway (so cute), but lately the tears have been out for some reason.
Anyway 3 in a bed is getting squishy and poor preggo me has the least room and also is hanging off the bed….not very comfy! It’s no forever though, I agree 🙂

So good to hear battle stories 😛

But I don’t envy you doing it while SO pregnant. I remember Jasper’s sleep problems while I had morning (all day) sickness – not cool! lol.

Oh man, I hear you! Harry has gone from being the BEST sleeper to being the absolute pits. I think Finn has been whispering his non-sleeping secrets to him behind our back! So now we have two kids that play tag team on the not sleeping business…gah. Think it is karma for having almost full nights sleep all through Harry’s first 18 months : )
