Up and down

What a week! After my comment re sleep getting better on Monday it all went tits up and Monkey decided waking just about every hour was fun for 3 nights in a row. And being awake from 4-6. She was wrong - it was soul destroying and by yesterday I was a tired wreck. Cue me crying on everyone from the health visitor to baby friends to my mum and dad to the baby yoga teacher. I knew that being a mum would be a rollercoaster but bloody hell the lows are low and the highs are high. Luckily through all of this Monkey has continued to be ace - she's now sitting really well (look at her pleased as punch expression in this photo) though still has the odd tumble. So it could be worse.

But then just when I was reaching the end of my tether, Monkey decided to give us a break and only woke twice in the night last night after her 11pm feed and slept in til 8.15am. Unfortunately the fella's alarm went off at 5.15am so I was awake for quite a while when Monkey wasn't but got a really decent nights sleep. Thank god. Fingers and toes crossed and a few prayers thrown up for good measure that this will be the new norm. Please God.
