Sofia woke up again at about midnight and got out of the bed. By the time I got in however, she was back in the bed. She was so tired and started falling asleep with me just stroking her hair a couple of times. I left and got back into bed, but then at about 2am Sofia was crying and getting back out of bed again. I brought her back into bed with us.
Sofia was kicking me a bit more than usual, so I was happy I had got a bit of sleep before getting her. She slept till 6.30am and then woke me quite nicely. I realised that yes she has given me this cold/ flu as I felt horrible. Mike got her brekky and a drink and we watched Peppa pig in bed for a bit. Then I got up and had a shower before changing Sofia. We cuddled on the couch and read a few books whilst Mike got ready, then started watching Rio whilst Mike went for a quick shop and made brekky.
After brekky Mike took Sofia with him to Nani for a bit. I went to bed. So nice to actually have a chance to try and feel better. At 11am Mike got back with Sofia. She’d fallen asleep as he took her out of the car seat at home and our talking etc did not wake her up so we just put her to bed the way she was.
Mike then left to take care of a few more things… Sofia was asleep for about 2min and then she coughed herself awake. I tried taking her into bed with me, but she was making herself more awake so I put her back into her own bed. She cried, but even waved goodbye and blew me kisses. I had to go back in and I gave her some pain relief (as she kept going au after coughing). She cried as I left again, but this time eventually laid down in bed and fell asleep. Sofia woke up crying about 45min later as Mike walked in the door (12.30pm).
Mike went in and put her on him on the chair and at about 2.15pm woke from my grogginess and snuck into her room and they are both asleep still in the chair! If they are not out by 3pm I will have to wake the sleepyheads :). They woke at 2.30!!!
When they got up Mike left to take care of a few things and Sofia and I played for a bit. Then I made dinner. Mike got back just as dinner was ready. Sofia seemed to have gotten her appetite back a bit (maybe the long sleep helped?). After dinner it was a very short play before bath time and bedtime. At bedtime when Mike left Sofia clung on to me quite frantically. I couldn’t bring myself to tear myself away and leave so I stayed. Sofia didn’t seem to want to even try to sleep however, she was touching my face, patting my shoulder and playing with my hair. I felt like I was keeping her awake. Sofia also tried to climb out of the bed quite a few times. Finally I told her I’d leave the room if she got out of the bed. She didn’t then, but about 2minutes later so I left. I kissed her, told her I loved her and that I would see her in the morning. She cried as I left, but it didn’t last long and she was asleep within minutes.
Sofia woke up crying at about 9.30pm and Mike went in and sat with her for a couple of minutes before he left again.
And that was the beginning of a very long night. After going in three more times in about 4hours I decided to bring her into bed. However, she was just kicking us and talking loudly – getting herself more and more awake… so I put her back into her own bed. She lost it and was crying a lot. I had to go back in, but it didn’t seem to help so I left it for longer and she got quiet. It only lasted for a about 10minutes however and then it was on repeat! I had to turn the sound off and hoped Mike was getting some sleep, but there was no issue hearing her! It finally got quiet, but wow she was so persistent tonight.
