hi everyone,

sorry i disappeared around lunchtime and didn't return.

had a work meeting and there is quite a bit of uncertainty at the minute do to many issues and we need to make our office run as efficiently and as 'stand alone' as we can. internet usage we are being careful with (ie personal use) so we are cutting that down to lunch time only so that is when you will see me (thank goodness i hear your all say )

on a different note ... night 2 of the sleep training .. do you mind if i bore you all?? just want to get it down so i can see how we get on over the course of a week??

okay ... firstly, OH picked me up with LO as we were going shopping. she was tired and ended up napping in the car for about 15 mins. was a bit worried about this as i didn't want it effecting getting her to sleep this evening, but as it was short i thought it might not pose too much of a problem.

did all the night night and kisses and bye byes downstairs before i brought her upstairs.

by 7.40pm we were in the bath. i had kept telling her since i saw her that we were going to do 'bath story bottle bed' tonight. she was rubbing her eyes in the bath so i knew she was tired (and she also only had one nap again today for about an hour and that was 10.30am to 11.30am!!!)

brought her into our room to dress her. i have been getting everything out ready before i put her in the bath to make it easier/quicker. as i did last night, i let her hold her book while i was dressing her. put her sleeping bag on again, as i did last night.

i read some rhymes out of her book to her but she was more interested in putting her finger through the hole in the page (where the thing fits that you press and the tune of the rhymes start). the last rhyme in the book is 'teddy bear teddy bear turn around'. i am going to use this every night as the last one to read as it says 'teddy bear teddy bear turn out the light'. it is then that i turn out the light and start to give her her bottle.

she probably had half a bottle again tonight (although she didn't eat as well today as she did yesterday). she was being a bit funny with how she was sucking it and i figured she didn't really want it. she was still relatively awake but of course tired.

i was brave and put her in the cot like that. this was about 8.05pm. i laid her down and started patting her and singing to her. she kept trying to get up and i just kept putting her down. she then seemed to give up on that idea. i did have the tv on for light but the sound down, but i then turned it off completely. she laid on her back crying, and she got a stressy with it at times but i just kept singing. i stopped patting her as i think this made her worse but even though she couldnt see me as it was dark she knew i was still there cause i was singing to her.

within 15 minutes she was asleep. woo hoo!!!!!!!!! i did stop singing to her at one stage (as i was getting sick of dingle dangle scarecrow) and i kept saying the teddy bear rhyme.

so i think it was just after 8.30pm that she was asleep.

AND ....... she still is asleep now. no waking within the hour like last night. she has of course tossed and turned a bit and made some noises but she has not woken.

whats the bet she will now

i am now hoping to get to 3am again without her waking ...... fingers crossed ....

sorry for the novel but nice to get it down

eek.........she on the wriggle now

sounds good so far AF.

Hi Ladies and babies

Not been around the last couple of days as didn't want to pass my cold germs around.

Waybalooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo is the current shout of choice in our house.

I think the Hairy Bikers are fab too, I'm getting so many ideas from mum knows best.

AF - that's exactly how I used to settle DD - apart from the singing can't hold a tune, so the only difference is that I would play her wave sounds and pat her tummy and she'd stroke your arm - which now means we have a tired signal she goes for your arm it's time for bed!

Buttonmoons

Some of my samosa's look a bit rectangular, nevermind. Had to shout at OH to go fry them as I won't do that, too scarrrry. We don't have a fat fryer so in a pan of oil it goeeees.

He's doing my head in, sleeping and moaning at me because I told to get up and fry them, he asked for me to go and cook them, he had the chance to sleep earlier for a few hours but didn't, so now he thinks he can sloth around.

I swear to blog he better go to his bed soon before I throttle him

Ooh, well done for growing babies

DH wasn't going to be out late. So I'd better go off to bed soon, so I am asleep before he comes home, passes out and starts snoring in my ear :rotfl:. Silly boy - will make sure he pulls his weight tomorrow even though he will have a sore head. :A

Lady - that's what I'm like I have no sympathy when people have hangovers, the thing is as I don't drink alcohol they can't return the favour. He he
