yeah... pretty normal for melbourne weather. but in summer?!?
anyway it's been slightly over a week since ye ye and nai nai left for singapore. that means we've been handling the 2 critters all on our own since xmas eve. the fact that i'm still blogging is a good sign, cos it means i haven't gone and base-jumped off a skyscraper sans parachute (good thing that melbourne doesnt have too many high rise buildings anyway).
it's been really tough, and i have to say i miss my inlaws' help big time! at least during the night if ethan wakes up, they'd be able to help settle him again while my only 'job' is to fulfill the empress' whims and fancies. for the past few nights, both of them have been waking, one after t
he other, either asking for milk or just wanting some comfort (ethan has developed a really bad habit of needing me to sit in his room while he falls asleep - he wasnt' like this before!). anyway having to move back n forth between 2 rooms at 3am in the morning (emma still sleeps with us - we tried letting them sleep together in the same room but that was a disaster cos NO ONE got any sleep that way) is certainly not my idea of fun - and on a particularly bad nite i get only 3 hrs of sleep. yes... i feel sorry for me too. but it's still fine now since i'm off work, but once i start back at the office on 12 jan, i think i'm gonna need more zzzz's than that! plus there's the housework, laundry, cooking (so far no one's been rushed to the A&E so that's a good thing too), etc.... how not to be cranky?!?
i'm just crossing my fingers and hoping this is a passing phase for ethan, and that he'll continue sleeping thro the nite like he did when his grandparents were here. as for emma, even tho she's still waking 2 or 3 times a night, she is so much better now cos all i need to do is pat her ass to get her off to lala land again :)
