   So I've had the worst day I've had in a long time.

By a lot of standards it's nothing. Especially compared to some of you lovely ladies recently.

It started off OK. (Well, as OK as a day can be after being woken every half hour thanks to DH with his cough - poor chap). 

Hannah was happy and smiley between waking at 8:30 (see, GREAT start to the day - awesome sleep in!!) and 10 when I put her down for her nap.

A switch went off! She turned so feral. 

I actually found myself yelling at her at one point to "shut up a minute and let Mummy clear her head!"  

She finally went down, after an hour of rocking and reassurance. 

Only to wake 20 mins later. 

She seemed a bit chirpier, so I offered her the boob.

Nope. No way.  HELL NO!

But it had been 3 hours since her last feed, so I expressed and gave her the bottle -  which she guzzled.

So I know she isn't sick at this point.

I put her down for another nap. This time I got 45 mins out of her.

Then she continued to be a right royal PITA for the rest of the day.

Then DH comes home and shes all smiles  

So she had her 5:30 feed without a hitch and went to sleep at 6.

The cat decided it would be awesome to stand under her basinette and yowl. And yowl. And yowl. 

So just as I thought my day was on the up she's now awake again and grizzling like she's been neglected. 

*tears hair out*

Thank goodness for DH. Despite his sore throat and fluey symptoms, he's taking care of her while I quietly go insane  

Please, oh PLEASE let tomorrow be better. 

Thanks for reading, if you still are.

Rant over!
