If Its Not One Its The Other

Author: Why is it that both kids cannot have good days on the same day? , Or both sleep well at night?
If Rebecca’s not grumpy and teething its Eils *grump*
Last night it was Rebecca’s turn, Eilidh had been down since 5.30 got up briefly at 10.30 (and I’m not sure if she would of woke up if i hadn’t went and got her as she was in the same room as Rebecca) and was happily sleeping soundly. I was sleeping in the living room with her in her moses basket and DH brought Rebecca in around 1.30 as she wanted a feed.
He took her back to bed and of course she decided to pull one of her stunts and refuse to go back to sleep. Dh brings her back to me and goes back to bed (I will not insert men moan here) .
So of course trying to get Rebecca back to sleep wakes Eilidh up , i have no choice but to let Rebecca play while i settle Eilidh again and its not 3.00. Finally Rebecca goes back to sleep at 4.00 and Eilidh gets up at 5.00 , I’m just grateful she fed and settled again quickly and we cuddled up and slept till 7.45 when Becca got up.
So I’m a little zombied today.
I had so many plans for today as well, I’m needing to go through the girls clothes and take out a lot of it . Their full floor is covered in stuff and i have no room to put it buy i really need to stop buying clothes or at least sell some of it on EBay to make room for more, i did finally work out how to use my ring sling and was going to walk up to my parents with it on. It started raining though so we got a lift instead .
Eilidh has been such a fuss pot all day and I’m not sure if its teething or illness, she is not feeding well at all and refuses to latch on most of the time. I even tried her with a bottle (or expressed milk) with no luck. She is very grumpy if put down and is dribiling so much and has bright red cheeks , she is not sleeping and making it worse for herself as she is so over tired . On the plus side she rolled over a few times again today so i would definitely say she is rolling now but strangely only from back to stomach and not stomach to back like she is suppose to be doing.
Rebecca is getting the hang of dancing now and looks so dam cute doing it, people say once the child walks all the trouble starts but its just making my life easier and more enjoyable - but then again i think things like climbing tend to come after walking not before.
Going to watch the end of the days of our lives episode I’m watching then will try and get some sleep. Wish me a good night sleep guys

I’m sorry to hear you guys have had such a rough night/day! It definitely does sound like Eilidh is starting to teethe. What fun. :oP Sending “sound sleep” vibes for all of you - I hope tonight goes more smoothly.

I’m *so* curious to see when Meredith will receive her first tooth. Lucas was about seven months, just like me when I was a baby.
Luke has some incisors coming in, actually! Hope that you’ve experienced some better nights since then.
