1 step forwards, 20 back

I'd like to start off by apologising for not writing the last few days - it's because I've turned into a sleep deprived zombie.

BB has decided he doesn't like nightimes. He's constantly waking, doesn't want a feed, cuddles, dummy. He's not hot/cold, doesn't have a wet bum... and yet something stops him from sleeping. He wakes at least hourly, and I go in, replace his dummy, and go back to bed. I can hear him tossing and turning in his sleep, so I burp him... and nothing comes up. Tonight I'm going to try a bit of gripe water as I'm completely lost. I don't know whether to try calpol as he might be teething. At the minute I'd try anything as funnily enough, crying out of frustration doesn't do a lot to settle him! I actually gave up at 4.50 am this morning and let him sleep on my whilst I watched TV.

On a positive note - I made his first purees for the freezer. It's a trial and error process, and the first one was more error than anything...

I peeled and boiled two sweet potatoes, and popped them into my blender... switch on... nothing.
Bugger.
Tried readjusting, putting it into another plug... nothing.
Sigh...

So I put it into a bowl, got a whisk, and pressed on. Yes, it went everywhere at first. But I've managed to make a puree, adding a bit of the cooking water.
I popped it into an icecube tray... still loads left. used a few of the weaning pots I have... Still loads left.

Note to self, two sweet potatoes makes a ridiculous amount of puree!

So yesterday I went to my mum's and did a butternut squash one, using her steamer and food processor - so much easier!

Must get some kind of new blender!!

Eagerly anticipating the day when I can sleep again...

Night of the Living Dead

Do you know what happens when Mummy Bear has to get up all night?

She becomes a walking zombie...

She shuffles through her housework, tripping over her feet and taking twice as long....
She puts handwash on her toothbrush,
Nappies in the fridge,
Milk in the mug cupboard,
Forgets what she's saying half way through a sentance,
Dresses BB in bizarre outfits...

What happened BB? You were sleeping through the night? I thought I'd finally cracked it! I was beginning to feel human again, then all of a sudden I was waking every hour to put your dummy back in, we went back to nighttime feeds and MB went back to the walking dead.

Missing her sleep
