sorry to be a complainer, but has anyone else noticed that guys seem to be able to sleep through absolutely anything??? i mean, no matter how loud the baby grizzles or how much trouble you're having getting him to sleep, in the morning it's still "he slept well last night didn't he, i think he's finally started to sleep through the night" grrrrr. i don't think he actually believes me when i say that i was up and down all night.

Willie had the baby monitor in his room in case Maya woke up during the night (he's sleeping in the spare room to give me some rest) and STILL didn't wake up to her calling out!

Sometimes Roland will sleep through the baby noises, but it depends on how long I leave it, sometimes it will wake him up but he usually just goes back to sleep.

We are the oppisite DH is a very light sleeper and wakes up to anything. Also is side of the bed is the closest to the door so Andrew always goes there first.

Sunday mornings I play dead and make him get up. Which isn't hard coz Maya knows it's the only morning he's hoome when she wakes up (he starts at 4am Mon-Sat) so she's more than happy to bounce on him.

Just remember....you can roll over and "accidently" slap hubby/poke him/kick him or anything....just don't be the first to ask "are you awake?" 'cos then all your other half has to do is lie there and pretend to be asleep and you HAVE to get up.
Just a little tip from Paul Rieser's book Babyhood!

I did the "accidently" hitting him when getting up with Andrew when he was younger. It was really an accident.

Haha very good ladies. I will use the poke/hit/kick thing. It may come in handy. DH is a light sleeper unless he is really tired. I am the same, my eyes open at anything!!

I do the "pretend to be asleep thing". Luckily Taine sleeps through now, but when he didn't, I pretended. remember ladies
keep each breath not too deep, but medium. add the odd snort, and don't move.
If you can, roll over in your sleep and prode hubby awake, so now it's his problem. But remain "asleep"

since i have been working nights, getting up to x has been his job.... and my mind knows it because i just dont wake up anymore! i always used to, and i am sure i will when baby comes, but at the moment it is bliss. even better is that she knows its daddy that settles her, so if she comes to our room she goes to his side and sleeps beside him... so i snooze on, blissfully away from kicking legs and wriggly bod :)
