Sofia woke up just before midnight, she was crying and all teary so I couldn’t help but picking her up and giving her a good cuddle. She did not want to go back to sleep after that however, and after much back and forth I ended up giving her some pain relief and boob. She then slept till 5am. This time I just stayed with her till she fell asleep. I didn’t have it in me to try and let her fall asleep on her own. She cries every time I leave the room now… She slept till almost 7am.<\/p>\n
We cuddled in bed for a little while and then we got up and had breakfast. Afterwards we played. Sofia was sooo tired – kept rubbing her eyes…. but I had to drag it out till 9am at least I though. When I tried to get her to sleep on her own however she got frantic and started crying. I did the crying out method for 1.5hours(!) and went in every 10min (after the initial 3 and 5 min). Usually she tapers off, but she just got worse. I didn’t know what to do. I did give in because she just got so distressed she seemed to be unable to calm herself down. So… I stayed with her until she fell asleep… but then she woke up 15min later! Then I gave her boob and let her fall asleep that way… but she woke up 10min later! At that stage it was 12 so I got her back up and fed her lunch…<\/p>\n
After lunch I took Sofia with me to get more baby food. First I needed to fill the car with diesel. I got to the petrol station and I couldn’t get the lid off the gas tank! I realised I had not filed gas in this car before. I felt so stupid. However not as stupid as after I had asked the lady next to me for help. All I had to do was twist it the other way. Also, I had parked next to the petrol pumps – not the diesel that I needed (as she politely pointed out to me). Mike would have been sooo impressed if I had killed the engine because of this!<\/p>\n
Anyway.., we got through it and got on our way. I shopped baby food and also a few things for the little sweet girl.<\/p>\n
At home I unpacked and got great help from a little girl and the dog. Note to self; next time you unpack put the dog outside and girl in play pin.<\/p>\n
Then I made dinner for myself (very easy), and used a new packet for her (minted lamb and vegetables). Her food really tasted nice, and it had proper chunks in them. When we were done I fed Pablo.<\/p>\n
Sofia played for a little while whilst I got ready for her nighttime routine. Mike got home as Sofia was in the bath and we got her to bed together.<\/p>\n
Every evening should be like this, so dinner is done by the time Sofia is in bed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
