Sleeping Like A Baby … huh ???

I am at my Sister’s Place in London… She has delivered a Cute little Baby Boy who came One month early ..

Named Arin .. its a sanskrit word which mean ‘ The one who does not have any enemy ‘ …

now this is not the imp part … what i am trying to say is ..

i was enjoying London weather, and play time with Arin … suddenly Arins Daddy catches cold .. and so he will not be staying near Arin now .. because babies catches germs quickly .. so my Jiju will be sleeping in my Room and i am shifted with Didi and Arin in thr room …

And now the part came which made me google the phrase “Sleeping Like A Baby” .. and as a result i found is … “It mean  that you wake up every half-hour and cry and want food”

Hope you have understood what i am trying to say …

I slept in Didi’s room last night .. first of all i couldnt sleep till 1 .. because i have got habit of sleeping by 1 or 1.30 …

so.. Didi made Arin sleep at 10 and went to sleep as well..

Arin wakes up crying at 11 insted of 12 .. [ babies wake up at every 2 hours for food ]

gave him food and made him sleep…

again he wakes up at around 12 and .. his Mum gives him food and he goes to sleep ..

thn mummy wakes up after 20 min to change his nappie

its 1.15 .. Mummy wakes up .. changes his nappie .. surprisingly he didnt cry .. every one goes to sleep ..

its 2 now .. i felt like i m dreaming .. and thrs a lot of noise around me .. but why cant i see any faces in this dream ? .. wht kind of noise is this ? .. suddenly i wake up from sleep and what i found is .. Arin is crying … and its just 1 hour …

He eats again .. but just for 5 min … Didi keeps him back in his basket .. and he starts crying again ..

this time i told Didi .. tell him to eat more so tht he can sleep for longer hour ..

Didi takes him again and gives food and he goes to sleep

after this .. i have no idea how may time he has cried .. but i know that i have heard him 1000 times crying ..

and seen him twice being nappie changed .. and from 3 To 6 Saw him in Didi’s lap .. Didi is sleeping in sitting position and he is sleeping peacefully …

after 6 he again decides to cry .. and this time he wanted to cry in dolby digital sound system .. i actually kept my hand on my ears so tht i get atleas 0.000000001 or 2 percent less of his volume .. but all my hopes goes off in air in front of his loud crying noise and his smelly poo ..

again .. Didi.. Arin in her lap .. and we 3 go to sleep… its 11 now …. Didi is pushing me to wake me up .. because .. she wants to sleep and hands Arin over me to put him in his Basket … but guess what ? .. he doesnt want to sleep now .. and we put him down in the Lounge with his basket so that he can play …

and i started wondering .. What exactly is “Sleeping Like A Baby” ???
