Overheard...

In the "no sleep, condense your entire life and everything you need to do into the 3 hour slots between feeds" madhouse...ahem...I mean, of course, our kitchen - it's 7pm, we are bleary eyed and contemplating dinner...

Other half: I think I'm going to have a red bull
Northern Monkey: Another one!
Other half [with head in fridge rummaging for cans]: I last had one hours and hours ago, I just need a quick pick me up and then I'll make dinner

Other half drains can of red bull in super speedy time

Other half: although to be honest I don't think the red bull is even touching it now
Northern Monkey: But red bull is pretty hard core
Other half: Yes I know and it always used to do the trick but I think I need something stronger nowadays....
Northern Monkey: What like super strong stick to the cup espresso? A packet of pro plus?
Other Half: No I was thinking amphetamines....

By the way, he assures me it was a joke...at least I think it was....

Oh bless. Hugs to you both and to Baby Monkey.

Hang in there honey, she will settle down, she will sleep.

Eventually.

Promise.

Not being funny are you breast-feeding or bottle-feeding? If the latter, taking alternate turns does help...yes ok you both wake but one can drop back pretty fast if really tired enough...(togetherness is just masochism unless you're doing it with twins!)...

But as Roses says, (so long as you don't consciously try to keep things especially quiet for her - which is making a rod for your own back), she WILL slowly begin to sleep longer and longer...and as a side-effect, you WILL become more able to survive on cat-napping...

(Man) hugs to you all...

Hey honey.

How are you doing? Still managing to keep the OH off the amphetamines? Or are you now resorting to them?

Hope you're all well and managing to avoid the usual rounds of winter colds, while attending to the needs of your fabulous dictator, Monkey Baby.

Isn't it reassuring that 'midst all the symptoms of a haggard and sleepless life, the agony of the early morning feeds, the endless arse-wiping and nappy-changing, over-the-shoulder puking and wide-eyed wandering around the shops with a pram...all that and some oriental guy finds you "showgirl" and thinks you're up for "sex"...

Reminds me of something that happened to us...The Mormons called...there was my missus at the door with twins aged three and a HUGE bump..."We'd like" they said, "to invite you to a weekend of family fun"....

"Don't you think I might've had enough of that" was her less than enthusiastic response....

Cogi - the sleep deprivation must be seriously affecting me as I didn't even notice the english words in the middle of the oriental text...I wondered what on earth you were referring to...

When I was in labour and it was starting to go a drastic, in preparation for the run down the corridor to the theatre, the Dr needed me to roll onto my side... Now bear in mind at this point I was drugged and epiduraled up to the eyeballs with no control over half my body amd rambling incoherently so there was no way I was rolling anywhere under my own steam. To get me into the right position the nurse said 'look lovingly into OH's (who was sitting on that side of the bed) eyes and we'll roll you' when I apparently said (I have no recollection of this) 'oh no I can't do that, that's what got me into this mess in the first place'...

We are surviving and monkey baby is thriving...unfortunately a little bit too much at 3am sometimes...OH is back at work now and living on red bull and lunchtime naps in his car and I am getting through some serious amounts of coffee...

My tip of the week...buy shares in red bull and douwe egberts...we're single handedly gorowing these companies profits...
