End of the week at last

I'm rather glad to see the end of this week. Morgan started getting sick last Sunday night. He wasn't too bad on Monday, just had a temperature, but by Tuesday he was so snuffly and blocked up, which affected his sleeping and feeding. He's usually a happy baby so it was heartbreaking to hear him cry so much when waking up from a short nap, and then crying again during a feed cos he couldn't breathe through his nose properly. We took him to the doctor on Tuesday and back again on Friday to get some antibiotics as it wasn't clearing up from just saline nasal spray. The antibiotics have worked wonders, his breathing is better and he is back to his happy little self, chatting & smiling away!

The odd outcome of this week is that being sick has altered Morgan's sleep pattern at night (being a new mum it's all a steep learning curve so this could be completely normal!). He used to go to bed around 8pm, have a sleepy dream feed at 10.30pm then wake in the middle of the night at 4am-ish and again around 7am. The last couple of nights, after the dream feed, he has woken up at 1am(!!!) then slept through til 6.30am. Bizarre! Not that I'm complaining, as I'm still getting a decent sleep, just odd that he has changed to having a short sleep at the beginning of the night. It will be interesting to see if this stays or he changes back to the old way.
