It’s happened, all night sleeping has finally come

A few days ago I wrote about how Emily is now sleeping in her big bed, after we took the sides down to her cot. As if by magic, sleeping in her big girl bed means Emily sleeps all night. Who would’ve thought it? No more waking up in the middle of the night for…

We’re back to sleepless nights again

I thought this was over. But no, those times before where I thought I had it all covered, I was back to my sleep-through-the-night routines again, oh how I miss them. I assumed teething or maybe growing pains, but it appears it’s normal once again to have terrible nights sleep. Whilst Sam sleeps soundly upstairs…

The Night Terrors are a nightmare

As if teething wasn’t enough, my little munchkin is now starting to experience the not-so-nice, night terrors. Although not uncommon and usually only lasting a few minutes at a time, it freaks her out so much that she just wakes up and my sleep gets affected too. Like last night, I probably went to bed…

Sleep regression, when will it end?

Emily hasn’t been sleeping throughout the night now for about five weeks. What started off with a little midnight wake up for a feed has now turned into proper sleep regression, and I’m starting to lose the will to live. I had heard about sleep regression before but I always thought it was for children…

This weather is pants and it’s making us all sick

So this week is a pretty big week. This week we wave goodbye to the little digits and say hello to the big almighty 1, because Emily will be going from little baby to what the professionals class as “toddler.” But this week couldn’t just run smoothly without hiccups could it? Of course not. We’ve…

Emily is finally sleeping the night through

 I’m here, finally I am here people. Emily can sleep through the night. I don’t know who to thank, maybe myself for getting us to this stage, but I would like to swoop and jump around lie I just don’t care, but I can’t right now as she’s having a nap and I’m having…

Emily has upped her sleeping game

I speak to people and they tell me the struggles they have with their newborns sleeping patterns and I don’t know if this is a temporary thing or maybe if we have more children, it will all change, but we’re really lucky with how much Emily sleeps. On average she sleeps 7-8 hours a night…

Emily sleeps 5-7 hours a night, I know, amazing huh?

Emily is brilliant with her night time sleeping. I mean she sleeps 5-7 hours a night. That’s brilliant and yes, I’m bragging a little. For the past week, we’ve stayed inside in the warmth rather than brace the cold outside. With this Emily has been having a bit of a growth spurt and has started…

Baby essentials I swear by

When pregnant you’re recommended to buy certain things for when your baby arrives and depending on many things, you may or may not use them. Which is why for a few of our purchases we waited until Emily arrived before we started spending money on things. There are so many variations of products out there…

When things go bump in the night

So this is my sixth night not being able to sleep and I’m bored of it. I worked today and spent most of the day on my feet and although I got in and my eyes were falling out of my head, I still struggled to get to sleep. It’s difficult and although my body…
