Sleep when the baby sleeps. Ha, I say! Come on Spid. Tell her the truth.
Sleep all you can tonight because YOU WILL NEVER SLEEP AGAIN. You will never have another sound night's sleep. Never. Ever. Again.
LOL! I haven't slept properly now for nearly nine years! I look like I've aged 20 years in that time.
Our first one started sleeping full nights in about 1 month. The second caused trouble at least for a year. I he had been the first one I'm not sure we would have had two... |

| Mine sleep OK during the night but they are real early birds (well, the eldest is) and I'm not particularly a morning person! Oh the joys of children :-) |

sorry angel Posted Tue 26 Feb, 2008 9:16 AM |
Thank you so much again, so lovely to read all your posts including the scary ones about sleep haha!!
Yes it's my first baby...I'm 41 and was pretty unlucky until now with repetitive miscarriages and I also had complications with this pregnancy in the first 3 months. But since it's been fine except for the huge fatigue I went through since october. I can't wait to see his face and also for it to be over I must confess. Unlike all these bloody adverts and documentaries you see where women explain that they never felt so wonderful while pregnant, my experience is that pregnancy is everything but NOT pleasant.
I'll tell you soon about the sleep...or not...and as for the photos...I'm a bit ashame but I have never worked out in years on the board how to post them! That's how uninterested by IT I am LOL. |

Yay, another technophobe!!! I'm not alone, hehe. I still haven't got an avatar cos I don't know how to do it *hangs head in shame*
As for the baby, having a first baby is majorly life-changing! I still say that the greatest thing I've achieved so far in life is producing my 2 kids :-)
The youngest has just turned 4 and seems so grown up. Make the most of every moment because it all goes sooooo quickly.
Enjoy......... |

Indeed... the previously mentioned baby that kept us awake for a whole year plus just turned ten. His big sister is 12 and almost as tall as I am. I really don't know where all those years went! |

My parents never slept when my brother was a baby, but they always tell me that I never cried at nights, and if I fell asleep, I woke up in the morning, never in the middle of the night. So Sophie, maybe you're lucky and your baby does like I did :p |

| Even though my kids now sleep through the night, most nights at least, I never sleep the way I used to. I always have "one ear open." I can hear the slightest peep. From talking to my friends, it is a mom thing. The dads can usually sleep through anything, same as before. But I can hear the faintest, "Mama" in the night. |

Definately a mum thing! My other half could sleep through a hurricane and definately wouldn't wake up unless they were screaming. I'm a very light sleeper nowadays. |

Hey, your "little ones" are not so little after all! Does it get easy when they become more independent or do you then have to face the hormones, arghhhhh! |
