What a saint! My OH did the night shift of feeding last night. I express milk so there was enough for Imogen. he fed her at 10 pm and then again at 1.30 am - Imogen slept right through then til 6.45 am. meant I slept from 10.45 - 6.45 am - a full 8 hours... first time in months (beyond labour as i was always up for loo before that when pregnant).
Then I slept this morning too for an hour and half while Imogen slept..BLISS!!!!!!
Yesterday I think all the broken sleep caught up with me and I was comotosed ... even OH said I looked awful. That's why he volunteered to feed Imogen.
Wow what a difference sleep makes. I feel pretty good today. I really thought I would have trouble sleeping without Imogen in with me or keep waking expecting to hear her...but I was out for the count.... must have needed it bigtime. Also shows how much I trust OH and have every faith in OH to meet her needs.
Hoping this could be a regular weekly shift for OH so I can get some decent sleep. Only downside was my boobs were engorged this morning as I had missed a feed (I expressed at 10 pm when he fed her). But I expressed 5oz and was fine.
Not sure if this section should just be for moaning about OHs etc. but I just had to share this news.
