DD4 has slept like crap since vacation (June 6). I've gotten up with her virtually every night & usually up for the day very early 5ish. Tonight looks like she's sleeping through. But I just got awakened (3am) by DD1 who got up and puked. Really? Of all nights? And she woke me up twice, the second time just to detail it all to me again. Now she's back in bed & I'm wide awake and feeling pukey. My uncle that my Moms taking care of is on his deathbed and I'm waiting for that call too so chances are slim I'll be back asleep...I'm sad & worried. I'm fairly certain I'm gonna have to drive to Vegas alone with the kids on 2 months of bad sleep in the next few days.
So i just figured out that I can calm my screaming 8 week old if I play Enya. I thought it was a coincidence but it's worked now 4 different times without me holding him (in the RNP or car seat). Amazing
Oh B is totally Daddy's boy lately and I'm trying not to be jealous. You came out of ME!
DD is totally going through a daddy phase right now too, and it makes me crazy. H actually asked us yesterday if he needed to separate the two of us, lol!
It's 3:19am and I'm awake. My kid isn't, but I'm awake with anxiety about work. And anxiety about if I'll get called regarding my interview last week. Please please please call me.
Also, anxiety about having another baby. In not sure I'm ready. I want to in an abstract sense, but in terms of actually getting pregnant? Um...
We had a physical therapist present "what is normal/abnormal post partum" at our last moms group. She said it's abnormal to wake and use the bathroom more than once a night. So now I sit here and have a whole debate with myself MOTN. Is it ok if it's 12:30 and I went to bed at 10:30? But I drank a big glass of water at 9:00, of course I'll have to pee. I need to go but she says I shouldn't... It's ridiculous! )
That doesn't make sense at all. Unless you're kidneys aren't working, you will have to urinate in the middle of the night if you have a drink in the evening. If you stop drinking in the early evening and are still only peeing small amounts, then I might say you have a problem but that's more with men who have prostate issues.

Welp I'm happy to know that I'm totally abnormal, except there is nothing wrong with me, and I'm totally normal.
C just turns boneless. Like if I try to hold his hand or ask him to do something and he doesn't want to he sort of melts into a puddle on the ground. So annoying.
This is a better description. She just like goes down. Why? It makes no sense to me. She isn't really heavy so it solves nothing. I just pick her up and get my way. TAKE THAT TODDLER

I was up a lot overnight, and should have checked in! I had contractions about every five minutes for a couple of hours, but they didn't hurt at all, and I didn't have bloody show, no water breaking, etc so I wasn't worried. I was crazy nesting though, and that didn't happen with DD. I did two loads of laundry, dishes, cleaned the kitchen, chopped up a watermelon, and tidied up a bunch of junk in our room.
DH got all excited and made me call the dr, and she told me I could stay home, so I tried to make DH leave me alone so I could fall asleep. Pretty sure he was texting everyone I was in labor.
Basically, her whole presentation should be renamed "how to scare the crap out of a bunch of new moms who thought everything was just fine."
I plan to say something to the group coordinator (a lactation consultant ) today. I doubt I am the only one who felt less than encouraged after her presentation.
I've also realized that I completely fixate on something and stress out about it MOTN. I nurse DS, he goes back to sleep, and then I waste another hour or so on whatever my issue of the night happens to be. Hopefully, soon I'll be so tired from going back to work that I'll just fall back asleep like a normal person?
