Over the last few weeks Abi has gone from sleeping through the night to waking up every couple of hours for more feeding, this has resulted in my being sleep deprived more than I was when she was first born, as even though I am getting sleep every night, it is no more than five - six hours and cut up severely. So, even though those who know him would expect no less, Matt is being a DIAMOND and putting up with huge amounts of rubbish from me, I mean I lose it at the SLIGHTEST thing, no really, the slightest. Yesterday he calmly suggested that I try to get Abi back into a routine, when I had asked his thoughts on her new feeding/sleeping habits, and for some reason I lost it at him, thinking at that moment, that this was the most unhelpful and flippant thing he could say, of course he was right, and I intend to stop demand feeding Abi as from today!!
And the other thing that is getting me though, homage to the Tues NCT girls here...is the wonderful network of mums that I have surrounded myself with. I turned up at the pub yesterday afternoon, after five hours of intermittent sleep and half a cup of coffee (no time to have more with one thing and another) and I just did not want to be there, or rather socialising at all, I had only turned up out of loyalty to the friends I have made and the vague notion that I would feel better after a chit chat and a latte...but by god did it make ALL the difference, and it was NOT just the caffeine I am certain, to have a good couple of hours with a great bunch of woman with whom I share so many things in common, and the fun and sheer wonderfullness of discussing everything from going back to work/poo/feeding/poo/insane family members (naming no names M!)/poo...it was JUST what I needed - Thanks ladies!
