OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today went:
7am: up, dressed, bottle & brekkie
9:30-10:30am: nap
12noon: lunch
2pm: bottle
2:30-4pm: nap
5pm: (HUGE!!!) dinner
7:15pm: bath, bottle, bed

DH did bedtime He laid her down in the cot after burping her, she rolled over and went to sleep  He stayed for about 1 minute, then left… she just went to sleep!!!

We did an earlier afternoon nap with a later bedtime, which I’m hoping will set a new trend for getting back to normal bedtime.

Usually we get her up by 5pm from her nap and do bath between 6:30-7pm. I guess she just wasn’t properly tired out?!

Kirsty stayed in her cot ALL night lastnight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

We took the buggy out of her room before taking her up to bed last night and made sure she was able to look about and see it was gone, but without us mentioning it. No idea if that made a difference or if it was just coincidence. She woke up around 1am, DH went in and laid her down, he said she was very sleepy, he stayed there a minute or 2, then just edged out and came to bed.

She slept on until I got her up at 7am

She has an awful cough though, poor baby. Her nose is worse than a running tap so I’m hopeful this is the cold coming out of her now.

Kirsty is driving me insane right now!!! She started trying to pull up on the furniture last week but OMG she has some serious tantrums when she either cannot get up, or if she is up and we take her away from whatever she is standing against, say for e.g. if she’s in danger of falling, or we need to go get lunch, etc.

I mean serious tantrums!!!

BUT, the most annoyingly frustrating part is standing in her cot at bedtime. We lay her down, and she stands right back up which in turn is stopping her going to sleep!!! She can be so exhausted she can hardly keep her eyes open, but still stands up

Help me please!!!! Tell me we’re not the only ones going through this?.

Normally we hear Kirsty shuffling about her cot in her sleep or giving a big sigh every so often. But tonight we haven’t heard a thing from her since she fell asleep. We tried listening close to the monitor, we usually would hear her breathing… nothing.

Both Stewart & I started to panic, but I just *knew* she was ok, but we still couldn’t settle. So we had the dilemma… go up and check on her – opening her door guarantees her waking up – or sit and worry more. We decided to go up and open her door… she didn’t flinch! That really scared us, so I walked up to her cot (the floorboards creak like mad!!), and she didn’t move. Then she gave a HUGE sigh and scared the daylights out of us!!

She must be really tired and in a deep sleep, bless her!!

Urgh I’m about driven to distraction!!! Kirsty is good at going to sleep by herself in her cot, however she rolls onto her tummy and sticks her leg(s) through the bars and gets stuck, it hurts and she cries.
