Well it has been a long week. DH started night shift last Sunday which basically has seen me turned into a single mum as he works all night and sleeps all day. It has been an eye opener and really does test your patients. Thankfully the kids haven't been too bad, although the first night DH went to work Lachlan saw him leave through his window and started crying out "I want daddy!" I guess it is probably hard for a 2 year old to comprehend that daddy now goes to work at night now, not during the day.
Charlotte has done well through all this and has let me have decent block sleeps, going to sleep at about 8.30pm and waking up at about 4 or 5 in the morning, though it doesn't help that Lachlan loves to wake up at about 6-6.30am.
It has also has taken a bit to get used to that DH is at home but asleep, and with a 2 year old it is hard to keep him at an inside voice rather then screaming his lungs out, but hey terrible twos are here so probably not the best time to start night shift lol.
Lachlan's birthday party (the one at our place) was on the 10th November and he got totally spoilt, also his party with Nanny (DH's Mum) he got spoilt as well, though they don't really buy age appropriate toys which I find annoying as I am the bad mum that takes them away from him as I don't want him getting hurt or swallowing parts (insert eye roll).
The party with Poppy (DH's dad) has been cancelled as he is getting married on the 24th November and DH and I didn't see the point of taking up to big drives to place in a short space of time.
An update of Charlotte's reflux things were good for a while, although now she seems to be bring up her feeds again and having screaming session. I am starting to think that see needs her dose upped as she has now put on more weight. I am going to need to make an appointment with her paediatrician so we can get it sorted.
On my front I am still seeing J my psychologist and we have been hitting some tuff subjects, but thankfully she is giving me ways to cope. I am also still taking my medication as well and I have hit my third week on it.
Love won.
