Baba And Sleep

This weekend has been a bit of a nightmare with Baba and his sleep.

He goes through periods of sleep issues.

He has a tendency to get into our bed in the middle of the night and to be honest neither of us really notice when he does this. But he has got better and better recently and had actually stopped this altogether.

However the going to sleep has become a huge problem.

He has always been really good at going to sleep. He has a story and then has his CD on and recently he has had a light on to sit and ‘read’ his books to himself and then go to sleep.

However it seems that now his imagination can’t seem to switch off at all.  Continue reading »

A Nights Sleep

So last night for the first time in over a week I actually slept, since doing my back in I haven’t had a full nights sleep and have been awake on and off all evening as I try to move around in bed and try to get comfortable. It has been hell to be honest, and I have woken every morning more tired than the night before! Which has been complete rubbish to be honest. It has meant that every day I have struggled to stay awake, and by 4pm I have been dead on my feet as I am so blooming tired.

But last night was completely different. I finally relented after going to the doctor and took some tablets before bed, and last night I didn’t wake until Baba came running in this morning at 7pm after he woke up himself. It was bliss I have to say. A full nights sleep for a whole seven and a half hours, something that has not happened in over a week. Oh and what a difference it has made! I feel so much better for it! I feel ready to tackle the day and feel a bit more motivated. More so than I have done all week, and I no longer feel so unattached with the world and am ready to tackle a few things head on today. I have to take the chance as I may not be able to move again tomorrow so I had better do it today really!

It is amazing how different you can feel with just one nights sleep, lets hope it isn’t the only one for a while and that I continue to get a good nights sleep as it really does make all the difference at the moment!

Parenting Isn’t Always Easy

This weekend has been quiet a hard weekend with Baba I wont lie, Mr L and I have both found it hard, and testing. It wasn’t so much that there was one specific thing that Baba was doing it was just a collection of things that just kept happening, and it was wearing and really tiring.

Saturday I wrote about the hellish day that we had Saturday, and I have to admit yesterday was better, but he still had his moments. Moments of sheer “I’m just going to ignore Mummy and Daddy” moments. He ran out of a shop, he laid down in the middle of a store, and hid in some clothes so that we couldn’t find him. All things that he knows he shouldn’t be doing, but stuff that he is doing anyway! It is so frustrating that he is doing these things. I am sure that he is testing boundaries again, checking out what he can and can’t do, but I would prefer him to stop to be honest.  Continue reading »

Sitting here…

So we are sitting in the car waiting for Mr L to take his exam for work and I have finally worked out how to blog on the phone. Look at me woohoo!

Baba is asleep and I have decided to just leave him. He has a stinking cold and I think the last weeks excitement has finally caught up with him.

I knew he wasn’t 100% yesterday as he was very quiet and when I picked him up from pre school they had said that he had been crying about 30 minutes at school now this is unheard of as Baba loves pre-school. So we came home and had a very chilled out day watching his Land Before Time DVDs and just relaxing. I did for a moment think that he was possibly just very tired as Disney on Ice on Thursday was a long day. But by the end of the afternoon he was progressing into a cold.

He was wheezy and hot and bothered last night and was in bed very early. But wouldn’t sleep without someone near him. Always a sign that he is poorly. So Mr L stayed with him and dosed him up with some medication and his inhaler.

Baba did have a good nights sleep but you could hear him moving around lots and by 6am he was up screaming and crying. His temperature was again rising and he wasn’t great this morning. He was really bunged up and tired. You could see it in his face.

He perked up after a couple of hours and insisted on coming with Daddy to his test. Within half an hour he was fast asleep in the car on the way down here so now Mr L is having his test and I am sat in the car with a sleeping Baba.

I am a great believer in sleeping when you are poorly so I am pleased that he is having a sound sleep. He is in a deep deep sleep and is very comfy. Sometimes when he is bunged up and full of cold the best sleeps he has are in the car as he is upright and nothing is resting on his chest. So I am hoping this sleep will help and let him have a proper sound sleep.

The only sad thing is we are sat beneath a train station and all you can see is trains coming in and going out. He would literally be in his element bless him.

It’s Oh So Quiet

This morning I woke at 6.15am Mr L was still here! It was amazing something that doesn’t happen very often in our house, during the week! He left for work at 7am and Baba was still fast asleep.

I got back into bed and rejoiced in the silence. There is something different about the morning silence, compared to the evening silence. I am usually the last one to bed in our house, and as I walk up the stairs I am met with the constant sound of snoring, the dog snores, Baba snores and then there is Mr L. He sounds like a fog horn in the evenings, so even though the rest of the street is calming down and it is late at night it is never really quiet in our house.  Continue reading »

Ill Or Not Ill?

This week we have had a difficult one with Baba, it is like he is ill. But not really ill and I really can’t work it out.

I think that he is fighting something his little body at night seems very distressed when he is sleeping, he thrashes around, talks in his sleep, cries in his sleep and screams a lot. So we have basically had no sleep at all. Continue reading »

Only Twenty Four Hours!

I have so many things that are on my mind at the moment. And it is driving me mad.

I thought I had the answer today, something that would solve our money problems but it was not to be. I was gutted and really grumpy.

Although I then thought about it some more and realised that I was being silly. I already have something that will do that it is just finding the time to do it. Continue reading »

Doggy Misbehaving!

Our dog has recently been a really good dog!

We have got into a routine with walking and he no longer is pulling on the lead, well not as much as he used too! He sits and waits at the road, and doesn’t move until he is told to, so at last he is like a normal dog. A dog that behaves, and he is a clever dog, it only took him a week to get trained to only go to the toilet down one end of the garden. We were all so impressed with him, as we have had issues with T to say the least, he has always had a devil streak in him, just for naughtiness. He would be the cheeky chap at the front of the class that is for sure. But we really felt that we were getting somewhere with him. Continue reading »
