Just the two of us

I apologise for not posting in a while.
I've had a lot to deal with.

So the story is Abu NY got a job full time up until night time.

Which has left me alone to deal with the house hold......
(Dramatic pause!)
(Insert scary music)

So I've been trying to organise us for the past two weeks as our routine has changed dramatically.

Usually he makes her breakfast and at night he baths her or i do and he gives her bottle, swaddles her and puts her to bed. That's their thing.

Last night was our first proper night without him.


Did she sleep?
No.


We managed the bath with the help of 4 flashing ducks, 1 mama duck, Nemo, his turtle friend squirt, a shark called Bruce and a building block.

She had some milk even though she has two small bottles and I couldn't find one of them which was a disaster (I have only just found it this morning!)

She went in her sleeping bag which squashed her odd pyjamas in (usually she goes to sleep in a sleep suit) and made her top rise every minute.

She was asleep when I put her in the cot. After a short while she woke up and decided she would kick all the covers off, pull down the birdies on her mobile and scream.

By the time her daddy came home, I was at the end of her cot singing row the boat falling asleep and NY was kicking her legs in the air, laying sideways across her cot having a good convo with herself.

Throughout this episode I had tried to put her to sleep everyway I could think of. Another bottle. Cuddles. Taking off her sleeping bag. Singing.

But she wouldn't go back to sleep.

Until her daddy came home and put her to bed. Then she was out like a light. Typical (I did say she is a daddy's girl right?).

I was knackered by this point I didn't even cook.
Insomnia went out the window for last night lol.

We will see how it goes for the next few month -_-
