We've all had a nasty cold / virus for weeks now. Poor Harry is in the grip of yet another attack of the fevers and coughing / sniffles. I feel like crap. G can't breathe through his nose for snot. D's the only one in reasonable form right now. Dunno what is going on, whether it is the same bug or lots of different ones in succession but it's getting me down a little!
Last night was kind of ridiculous. I decided to try H in his own room for the first time. Put him to bed and he went to sleep without a problem. G & I were exhausted after New Year's late night so went to bed at the same time - 8pm. G fell asleep and I dosed off fairly quickly too, only to wake up 10 mins later with racing heart wondering what I'd heard on the baby monitor. Of course, nothing, but then I could not go back to sleep for listening for H and wanting to know if he was OK. Finally he woke at 10.30pm so I went to fetch him back into our room so that I could get some rest. Of course, he then didn't go back to sleep until 1 AM because he was feeling crappy and miserable. After trying everything we could, G finally took him downstairs to the swing and crashed on the sofa beside him. The rocking movement helped H with his tummy ache and sniffles and he dosed off too. I managed to dose off, finally. 4am, G brought him back upstairs to bed where he slept for another half an hour before waking and not wanting to go back to sleep again. Sigh. So I think I've had a total of about 5 hrs in the last 3 nights combined and I'm feeling very exhausted indeed to the point of dizziness and think it's about time i stopped rambling and went to bed seeing as its 11 and i am wasting valuable zzzz time.
