I got at least four hours of sleep, which was interrupted right in the middle by my darling daughter who, when she saw me checking on her, was so scared by what she saw that she did no more than whisper timidly to me. As my hearing is poor at the best of times, I still have no idea what her problem was.
Ready to fill Daddy's slippers?
Is he enough of a man?
Daddy thought it was about time for him to take a step in that direction...
so it was "bye bye soother" since last night.
I'm not sure who's suffering more from the absence, Matthew or me?
He definitely had a hard time falling asleep for nap time today.
I'm sure it made a difference that it was ME who put him down for his nap, and not Philip.
Maybe if he didn't bite his soothers so much Daddy would have been more sympathetic?
This visitor of ours also did not sleep well. But that was probably because he slept 'til practically lunch time and also napped in the afternoon. And then he expected to sleep the entire next night too?!? High expectations!
Hope he didn't fall asleep driving back home!

Nice picture Roze, I sure hope you got to have a nap to make up!
Pregnancy insomnia solutions:
1)Eat a banana or warm milk (or both)before bed.
2)Warm bath before bed.
3)Listen to a CD with the same music every night (something relaxing with waves and soft tones). If it's the same, you train your brain to sleep around the same point of the CD every night - it works but it takes a week to see results.
4)Count to 200 and back. After a week, you will have trained your brain again, so fall asleep at a certain point. For me, it was around 20
5)Put things in boxes of your imagination if you are thinking too much and say to yourself
"I will think of this at 8am right now I am going to sleep".
6) Tell yourself "I am resting and my body is relaxing. It's okay if I don't sleep". Most of insomnia is anxiety about not sleeping. Remove the anxiety and voila! You will sleep!!
Sweet Dreams!! From an expert insomniac (pregnant or not)who now sleeps VERY well.
