b is in Hilarity mood. I couldn't keep him off the computer so I made a makeshift playpen in the living room out of blankets - of course he is now trying to crawl through the gap between the shelf and the glass in the coffee table. today we played chase...
that's as far as i got yesterday before i was called away. it was a bit optimistic trying to blog with bernard awake in the same room as me!!!
i am at the lowest point so far. i feel so exhausted i'm dizzy half the time. bernard is lovely and increasingly mobile but ... i don't know how to get him to sleep through the night.
last night and the previous night he ALSO was unable to go to sleep in the first place; we had an awful evening of screaming. he fed to sleep and then sat up, and couldn't get back to sleep. to be honest, I don't mind him waking a few times in the night. i haven't slept through for 4 months. if bernard wakes fewer than 3 times a night i am awake waiting for him to feed. but it gets wearing. i am tired now.
we are trying to build up solid food during the day but he is not really keen on food. this evening i got home at 5.30, and fed him at six but it was too late: he barely swallowed a mouthful before spitting it all out and refusing point blank to take anything but a breastfeed followed by falling asleep. this spells disaster now, as he has slowly been getting worse at night if he misses a meal. if bernard doesn't get enough solids in the day, he now wakes up to 30 times a night ( i lose count). there's no way i can follow any 'go to his cot, pat him, cover him and then go back to bed' advice when he wakes that often. he is just in bed with us.
and he's teething and has a cold.
moan over. thanks for listening. hxxxx
