Whyyyyy must I continue to start this thread?!
It's 12:30 and E has been screaming on and off for the last 3 hours. I suspect it's teething but he is absolutely miserable. He falls asleep for 10 minutes, then wakes up screaming. I broke down and used Orajel but that just pissed him off.
He's refusing to nurse and just crying a pathetic cry. I think I'll try Tylenol when he wakes again. I'm tired of being in this damned thread!

I'm up, Alexander is on his second wake up. All day I had a feeling he was getting a cold and then he was up at 9 (asleep at 7) and he was so snotty. I rocked him the and held him upright and when I put him down he was sounding much better. I was expecting him to be congested now but he actually sounds quite normal. I hope I wake up to two healthy kids in the morning.
Daniel woke up crying the exact time Alexander did. It sounds like he went back to sleep easily once H tucked him back in.

Anyone else up?
Poor baby and mommy, I'd definitely try Tylenol or Advil (is he 6 months yet?) I always found Tylenol worked better for D when he was teething. I hope you all get some sleep soon.
We're up. Didn't get to bed until almost 11 because we found fleas on the dog. FML. Now C is up 1.5 hour later and I'm so tired. I really hope she sleeps a few more hours and I hope we don't have a big flea infestation. Ughhhh.
Ugh, no, you do not need fleas added to your stress mix. I hope they were just fluke ones, and you don't have a bunch. Bug free thoughts to you!
Ugh. He won't go back to sleep. Well he's asleep but he's fidgeting and keeps waking a little/ gas pain I think...
Just gave gas drops.
I was giving Colic Calm which was working wonderfully until last time when he threw up after. I'm 98% sure I just gave it too fast/too much at once but now I'm scared to try again, especially motn...
Were up. She keeps loosing the damn binky and wakes up every 30 mins. Trying a swaddle and nursing in hopes she will sleep longer. And my headache is coming back /(

I hope you get a few hours of sleep and wake to no fleas!
I jinxed myself with that stupid "sleeping beautifully" comment and now have a scared child in my arms. C woke up yelling "no big bad wolf story!" He has a love/hate relationship with the three little pigs. I'm never introducing goldilocks at this rate.
Tonight has been different. Woke just an hour after going down but my H got her back to sleep and she slept 2.5 hours. She hasn't done anything but 2 in a long time. I fed her, took forever to get her back down and she woke within an hour. Again H got her back to sleep and she slept another 2. I'm actually getting more sleep tonight because she's waking more but he's getting her to sleep. I'll be miserable if she repeats this tomorrow night when I'm alone though.
I think we're hitting another growth spurt. C ate a massive lunch today, two huge tacos and a mound of veggies at dinner, numerous snacks, 16 ounces of milk at bedtime, and he was just begging for more milk. I relented and gave him 6 ounces, which he slugged down and promptly fell asleep. I know I should hold out and break the night feed habit, but he won't settle without it.
Could he actually be that hungry MOTN, or is he just playing me?

Sorry folks had such a rough night. My eyes are burning and I'm incredibly tired. No coffee for me because it causes anxiety. Fortunately, I do pretty well on limited sleep.
