Horrific day – new swimming time and place

Sofia woke up at 3am and then again 5.45am. Since we were going swimming with the mothers day girls (well at least some of them) it was not a very good time, but it is when she normally gets up now so I was prepared for it. I decided to put her to bed a little earlier than normal because she looked tired, but she wouldn’t have any of it by the look of it. She was whinging, but not crying so I let her for a bit hoping she’d fall asleep. I go in after a bit and realise she’s vomited and some of the solids have caked up in her hair! She also had a poo nappy… Poor Sofia, no wonder she couldn’t sleep. I changed her and tried to get her back to sleep, but she really didn’t want to, so I started getting her ready. She vomited a few more times, but only small amounts and she was happy so I thought we still might be good. If it continued I was ready to drive to the doctor instead of swimming, but it stopped.

The swimming arena was nicer, and the changing station… and they also have a mothers area that’s warmer. Not so sure about the swimming teacher or a few of the exercises yet however… Maybe I have just gotten so accustomed to the other ways of doing things. Sofia seemed fine, but got grizzly and did a little soft cry at the end. Sofia fell asleep in the car after 2 minutes. By the time we got back it was 10am! So she’d been awake for 4 hours poor thing :/. I got her out of the car and breastfed her before putting her to bed. She fell back asleep pretty quick so I thought she’d wake up pretty quick because she was hungry. She slept for about 50minutes.

Sofia and I played for little bit before lunch, and then she was very tired again so I tried putting her back to bed. She would not sleep however… She pooed a few more times, and the last one seemed to have the right consistency again (no more pellets) so hopefully her gut is back to normal again now. I think with all this changing and trying to put her back to sleep it made it difficult for her. She was just soooooo over tired, and now it was just constant whinging and crying. I tried my best different things to get her to sleep, but nothing seemed to work and my touch seemed to annoy her a lot of the time…. Then again when I stepped away that made it even worse. So it was a continuos battle…. Then it was 5pm and still no luck, so I started the bath time routine. I had to go back in once, and then she seemed to finally settle at the boob. I managed to put her to bed when she was calm enough, so it did not take long this time. I am soooo exhausted however and hoping for an early night. I am sure there will be some night feeds….
