    Morning All :hello:

    Andrew's oxygen requirement is still down, now at 0.03 litre - perhaps he doesn't want to come home on oxygen either :)

    Oh that's very exciting Tigs :) it would be even nicer to get him home without it I bet! Really promising :)

    Becles, what a pain :/ I was dreading the clocks going back, as Elijah has been typically waking and shouting at an annoying 6.15/6.30, but taking that back an hour would be more than I could cope with for more than a day or two. But last night the good news is he didn't wake til 6.45 (7.45).

    The bad news is, he was up for more than 90 mins between 2am and 3.30... :rolleyes: was BFed, was rocked and settled 3 times, was left to scream and cry for 15 mins to see if he'd burn out... nothing worked til eventually the last settling suddenly - did. He was really awake, babbling to himself, pointing at the nightlight to shout "Let! Let!" as I cuddled him... etc. Weirdo baby!

    ETA is the sinus pain a common thing for you? Hope doctor can suggest something useful, horrible having another reason for sleeping badly!

    I was hoping that the clock change would put Andrew's feeds at a more sensible time for me visiting/travelling - being on the unit from 9-10pm was not ideal, and 8pm would have been easier - but he apparently woke and demanded an extra feed during the night which disrupted the whole schedule!

    Morning,

    Becles – sorry you are not feeling well. Sinus trouble is a nightmare for sleeping. Any idea what is causing it? Have you been allergy tested?

    Tigs – that’s great news. Andrew is doing so well.

    Bruno – sorry Elijah is still not himself.

    How do you learn to ignore your baby’s grunts etc when they are sleeping in the same room as you? Holly slept right through from around midnight until 7am (8am if clocks hadn’t changed) at which point I woke her for a feed and change. She is a dream baby as she has been sleeping right through since week 3 or 4, but this happens every night. The problem is me. I hear her making noises and keep thinking she is about to wake up. In the end after lying awake for several hours expecting her to wake, I figure I would be as well waking her and then trying to go back to sleep than lying awake any longer! It means I am awake from about 4am unnecessarily.

    So much for my lie in :( Daniel decided that 5.30 (was 6.30) would be a good idea to wake up and start shouting!! I think I may need to use matchsticks to keep my eyes open!!

    IL's are having the little man today/ tonight so maybe I can lie in tomorrow :confused: hopefully the sofas won't arrive too early.

    Aw everyone seems to have been woken at daft o'clock. Liam woke up at 8, his usual time, but all the clocks said 9 :D He usually sleeps 11hrs but did 13 last night :j He's currently sat watching bikes with Daddy.

    Going to a gym open day today and maybe taking Liam swimming, but this will depend on feeds, times, grumpy/sleepyness...

    Tigs - Andrew is do fantastically well! Well done him :)
    Bruno - Poor E!
    Beccles- hope you begin to feel better soon.
    Elle - Good plan, but you need sleep too! :naughty:
