Forgive any spelling or grammar errors, as the title says, I’ve had little sleep people!

So I’m confused (and exhausted!), A, N & S are 2 and 3 months now, and I thought sleepless nights were a thing of the past. Well thats not true evidently, I remember my mom telling me now that my brother didn’t sleep through till 5 years old! How on earth did she cope with that!

I’m hoping last night was blip, a one off, just a little bump in the road! We did the normal bedtime routine, they wanted ‘1 more’ TV program, last night it was Duggee (what is this program, so random to say the least!) and weren’t happy when we said no but thats not unusual. They’re always pushing boundaries now and we just stand firm! We put them to bed and came out, my husband went to finish dinner and N started getting worked up asking for daddy, this normally passes after a few mins but it didn’t, at this point S had also kicked off but A had fallen fast asleep! I went back in to comfort (this happened countless number of times through the night!) by 10 am we had this…

… back downstairs watching Peppa Pig eating a ‘biccie’!! I could have cried! We put them back to bed but the crying started again and continued till 1am! They had now just got over tired and hysterical and just couldn’t fall asleep!

N finally fell asleep while I carried her around the room, S was then in bed with us and slept shortly after. We had more tears around 4am but N self-soothed and at 5.30am  S was up wanting to go downstairs! Not even sure how I’m still standing at the mo but a lot of coffee has helped!

So I love a google search, looking for life’s little answers, fueling my hypochondria and of course parenting advice! I came across this,  2 year Sleep Regression maybe this will help anyone going through the same! Some of which makes a lot of sense but I’m still hoping we’re not in this ‘phase’!

They have gone down for a nap fine now but i’m not surprised at that, they were shattered and some fresh air and early lunch worked. Just wish I could do the same!

Happy Thursday guys, the weekend is nearly here although does that really mean what it used to when we didn’t have kids?  We… Gotta get through this

ps A slept through all the madness, the noise, screaming, lights on and off so much so I had to go a check she was ok!
