We just picked up DD from my in laws after a great night in downtown LA and she has a croupy cough. Trying to decide if she needs to go to the ER or if we can wait until morning.
AJ coughed himself awake about 15 mins ago and has been intermittently fussing ever since...just enough to keep me awake. Go back to sleep buddy, pleeeeease!
Um, J just slept from 10 to 4:30. Of course this won't happen again but it was awesome! Too bad I couldn't fall asleep until 11:30 though. But 5 hours of sleep in a row is more than I've had in the last 2 months do I'll take it. My boobs kill though. MH feed him a 4oz bottle around 9 and then I BF a bit right before 10. If that's why he slept so long then I really don't think it'll happen again for a while. But I also switched back to the SwaddleMe instead of doing the fake Miracle blanket so it could be that he prefers that.
Up again. He woke up pissed instead of just fussy so I went in and got him and he's nursing. And falling asleep on the boob. I hope this bodes well for him going back to bed...

It was Night 2 of Ferber for us. Took about 20 minutes for her to fall asleep at bedtime (Night 1 was 22 minutes). She had her longest stretch of sleep in a very long time after falling asleep! She did wake up to nurse at 3:30 but I put her back down in the crib awake, left the room and she only cried for a minute before calming down and then falling asleep (watched her on the monitor). I felt so proud! Before Ferber she always needed to be rocked or nursed to sleep, so I'm in disbelief that she's falling asleep on her own.
Dd was super sick all day yesterday. She had a fever of 103. It finally broke overnight but we were up for a couple of hours at 12, 1:30 and 4 and she didn't get to sleep until 9. Poor baby cried in her sleep too. Finally after the 4 am wakeup the fever was gone. It's 8:30 here and she is still sleeping.
J had to leave super early (for him-7:30am) for a staff meeting at work, and before he left he told me he was going to go give AJ a kiss bc he had just coughed and therefore must be awake.
I told him that fuck no he's not because guess who then has to get the baby to go back to sleep? Hint: not J.
That baby has made some intermittent noise for the last hour but all in all has been asleep since I put him down after that 5am feed. And I slept until 930am. I could cry I'm so happy. I laid in bed and snuggled with the dogs, ate some toaster waffles, and am getting ready to take a shower. As much as I want AJ to be ready to start the day, Coughing McCougherson needs to sleep. Either way its going to be a good day!
