Tough Friday

Friday I had a very bad day as a mother. Isak slept well and only had one feed at 3.45. Not long after 4.15 Jakob woke up from a nightmare. He dreamt that Finn was hitting him with a monkey (!?). Adam got up and calmed him down, it didn't take very long. 5 minutes later he came in to us saying he needed to go to the toilet so I got up with him. The sunlight in to our bathroom was so strong, felt like it was in the middle of the day so I knew it would be hard for him to get back to sleep. Followed him to bed and did everything I could to get him to go back to sleep. He was very awake but didn't talk so much to start with so I thought it would work. Just after 5 he started sitting up in bed, started talking, saying he wanted to get up and play etc etc. 5.45 I gave up and put him in front of the tv and went back to bed but not long after Adam had to get up to keep him company, and not long after that I had to get up since Adam had to go to work. I was concinced that Jakob would have a sleep on the couch some time in the morning so for hours I tried to get him to relax and have a sleep without any success. I was tired and grumpy and not a very happy mummy. Later in the afternoon, when it was too late for him to have a sleep he started to get really really tired and I had to do everything I could to keep him awake. Luckily Adam came home quite early so that kept Jakob going until bedtime and made me at least a little bit happier.
