DH is out of town for work. While going through the whole bedtime routine with M, one of our dogs managed to open our sliding glass door and run away. I had no idea what to do, because I can't just leave M. Luckily he came running back into the yard. I'm not sure how long he was gone, but he's very proud of himself. He can enjoy the rest of tonight in his kennel.
I dressed DD in a onesie, socks, fleece jammies, and a big sleep sack and left her window open in the hopes it will help with her croup (that I diagnosed this afternoon).
I need to sacrifice a goat or something. I haven't had a good night's sleep in a couple weeks. It's one thing after another around here lately.

Tonight I'm hoping that we do not have a repeat of last night.While I'm so proud of DD for PTing so quickly, she has decided that she HAS to not go at night in her pull up (I was in no rush to night train) that any time she wakes up to roll over she decides she needs to pee. Its not a huge deal at 11pm, but then 3am and then 6am along with the baby getting up to eat at 5am makes the night suck.
Night three of having to sit in ds' room while he falls asleep. He also woke at midnight the last two nights so scared, so I've been sleeping on his floor after that ugh. We moved and he is freaked out a little I think. Hopefully tomorrow is better after the rest of our furniture arrives.
My son is insisting on only nursing on my left side...no big deal but he has been doing it for over an hour and is still awake. My other side really wants him to nurse and the left is sore from the constant nursing. He is telling me all done to the right. Argh the challenges on toddler nursing!

I'm finishing Parenthood now. I ate WAY too much sugar for dinner- my kids Easter candy from daycare, chocolate covered cranberries, and craptons of this birthday cake popcorn we have. I now feel ill. Womp womp.
DS was so cute tonight but we've already had wakeup 1. Hopefully he sleeps a good 6 hours before he gets up.

I was on the verge of a panic/anxiety attack earlier tonight when I put ds2 down. I feel like I'm at my breaking point and I need to make the call to start therapy/meds/something before I really lose it.
Doesn't help that DH is OOT again and I'm battling ds1 to go to sleep. Too many things to do and not enough time.

Nods randomly woke up. I think it's because we didn't nurse enough during the day. I've noticed on the days we are busy and she doesn't nurse as much sleep at night is bad. Hopefully we will have only this one wakeup. If not she is sleeping in bed with me tonight since my husband is gone and I just don't want to fight her to sleep on her own bed. We usually bed share in the mornings anyways so it's not that both of a deal.i just like my freedom to roll around at will.
Luckily H and I agreed that on Friday and Saturday nights he'll take a shift with DS2 even if he has DS1 all night. I'm hoping that tomorrow night I'll be able to sleep for longer than 90 minutes at a stretch.
AJ coughed himself awake and wasn't going back to sleep, so he earned himself a diaper change and round of 99 bottles. We'll see if that does the trick...I discovered we're totally out of Motrin so I don't even have that as my ace in the hole
I tried to do a dream feed at 11, which woke him up too much and here we are again. He went down a little too early because I was at softball. Oh well, dh is home tomorrow to help.
I've been up since midnight after going to bed at 10:30 . OMG, this 4 month wakeful better not last too much longer. I was hopeful we might have a better night, because V went down relatively easily. And she did a 4 hour stretch which was an improvement over the last couple of nights. But it took me three hours to get her back down after her first wake up. She keeps falling asleep and then waking up before I can put her down and is super restless. Then, I put her down, got back into bed and she was up within a half hour, right as I was finally falling asleep. Now here I am an hour later, still trying to get her down. But there's not even much of a point, because DH gets up in a half hour so even if I can go back to bed soon it's not like I'll get any sleep, and I'm sure she'll be back up by the time he leaves and I can go back to bed anyway. To add insult to injury, we are moving tomorrow and I have so much to do
C slept from 11-4:40 so I actually got five hours in a row!! It's amazing how that amount of uninterrupted sleep now makes me feel like I can conquer the world.
I go back at the end of next week. Looking forward to adult conversation but not thrilled to leave my baby!
This is where I am too. Ready to be able to use my brain again, but sad that this "phase" is over. And scared for figuring out the routine Monday morning. lol
