what was your night like?? - Page 2

We had a really crappy night, too! My little one (14 mos) is getting teeth and has a cold that is making him miserable. He wanted to nurse and flail around all night. THEN, my older son (4 in January) decides to wake up at5:15am and wake EVERYONE ELSE UP AND THEN KEEP US UP. He's normally anearly waker, but this is just getting ridiculouS! Thanks for letting me share. :

Dd slept okay last night (up 3-4 times, with at least 2 hour intervals, which is good for her). I on the other hand was trying to do some school work before I went to bed and had a coffee around five p.m. I tossed and turned all night and woke up everytime she squeaked. Plus, I've got some serious pain in the shoulder of the side I usually nurse on. That whole side of my body is tingling...like a pinched nerve. Dw tried to rub it & but it hurt more. She did bring me a heating pad thought . But ouch...the pain is spreading to the other shoulder.

So far tonight, it took 1 hour+ to get her to sleep, but she seems to be sleeping pretty well. And she is so beautful asleep

OK - seeing as another night is upon us...I am looking forward to NOT repeating last night.

DH and I were "up" until 12;30AM - Between 12:30 and 5AM I was woken up SEVEN tIMES!

Twice by my 4yo dd who had a bad dream about spiders...

Twice by my 1yo dd to nurse...

AND THREE TIMES BY DH who is an AVID sleep walker/talker/etc...Last night he kept waking me up to "move your head - scoot down - I really don't feel ok about this" (this being the headboard - which apparenly last night had taken on the form of a contruction crew building a freeway by our heads?!?!?

I guess I should be glad - usually he is jumping on the bed to "hold up" the moving ceiling fan or turn on the lights or stop the car (aka bed) from rolling down a hill and I wake up with the bed (with me and dd on it) being pushed in to the middle of the room.....

My doc gave me the okay to give ds a little cold medicine and I hate to admit it but it knocked his little butt out and I was a pretty happy mamma! He woke once for a dipe change and a nurse and then off to sleep again. So of to work I go at 6:30 and maybe today I won't be such a ....well.....you know .

Well, I have to feel a little more sorry for myself than some of you. My son has his molars and canines coming in (1y2m) and I have severe cracked nipples (long-term, apparently unsolvable problem : ). God knows how often he wakes up- I long ago stopped watching the clock. But last night, he wriggled himself around and kicked me in the face and made my lip bleed too.

Ho hum...love sleeping with the little monkey all the same. And it gives me an excuse to ask my husband to change his nappy every morning
