Sunday night randos

[glitzy07]

We're very lightly sleep training/night weaning C. The past few nights that he's woken up I've sent H in, because he freaks if I go in and don't nurse him. He just started crying and H is already asleep, so I went in. He wanted to be held and cryed for a second when I didn't pick him up, but settled almost immediately when I got down on the floor, rubbed his back through the slats and shushed him. I'll call that a win!

@vicmo Share that spreadsheet when it's complete.

J has started pulling on my shirt when he wants to nurse. It's cute but I don't really appreciate it.

He met my brother for the first time tonight. It's funny to see my brother holding a baby.

Had a yummy bbq tonight! It was nice to be able to invite friends over.

We haven't had sex since I got PG b/c I've been too sick. Well I finally feel better (thank you second tri!) so we finally did it tonight! Hopefully renewing our sex life will help all the bickering in the rest of our lives.

PDQ

I am so fucking mad at my husband right now. The other night I was updating my iPhone and fell asleep. He took it upon himself to erase my some of my apps and then "re-organize" them, meaning he took them out of all of their organized folders and alphabetized them. I mentioned it to him the next morning, because I thought maybe the update caused something, and he didn't really say much. Tonight he finally admitted to doing it. Seriously? Why would he think it's okay to "re-organize" my phone and then LIE about it? RAGE.

This of course turned into a huge fight because this is not the first time he has messed with my phone or computer because he thinks he knows better than me. I am a supervisor in IT for a major health system, not a fucking moron, I don't need your help! I may be overreacting, but this just comes across as so disrespectful to me.

[Deleted]

OMG yellowbrkrd I would be wicked pissed. We don't touch each other's stuff like that, it's super disrespectful. And he hemmed and hawed before admitting he did it?!? Oh hell no. What a super weird quirk. TBH I would reset the lock passcode and not share it with him. If he pitches a fit I'd say "well you obviously can't be trusted around MY STUFF, can you?!?"

[yellowbrkrd]

@supergreen I already did. And then I promptly locked myself out, so I am now restoring, which of course put me into another rage.

[Deleted]

yellowbrkrd that would be a major fight in my eyes. Don't fuck with my shit, you know?

I also had some H rage this weekend. DD went to bed at 8:30pm last night, way later than her usual 7pm (we had people over and she was having fun). Then she woke up as normal at 7:15am. She was rubbing her eyes and yawning at 10:30am. H pushed me out the door to run errands, saying he had everything under control. Yeah... I got home at 1pm and she wasn't down for a nap yet. They'd apparently been having too much fun wrestling/ horsing around. She slept from 1:15pm-2pm, then got up and was a trainwreck for the evening. Bedtime was awful.

HOW CAN HE NOT REALIZE SHE NEEDED TO GO DOWN FOR A NAP at her regular time at noon? What the fuck man?

[Brie]

I don't want to be braggy but I just feel really, really fortunate right now. On Friday we saw our healthy baby at the anatomy scan. Then all weekend we spent time with people who love our kid so, so much. He was so happy to be around them, but tonight at bedtime he just wanted to snuggle me and reconnect after a crazy weekend. I am exhausted but so happy right now.

Twice this weekend I managed to transfer a sleeping ds from the carseat to his crib, where he napped for another 2+ hours! It was some sort of alternate universe but it was so awesome.

[pugz]

I got an afternoon nap yesterday and today, hopefully I can still sleep okay tonight. This cold has me all messed up.

Feeling anxious about starting my new job next week but I know it's the right choice to start pulling away from my current work situation. Being around unhappy people all the time sucks the life out of me.

My baby bug has completely gone away, too much up in the air right now.

[jackie011]

Is there really that much to sleep training? Other than setting a consistent routine and the timed check ins, is there more to it? Every time I start reading this book I drift off because my kid is actually asleep and I should be, as well, it seems. I need the Cliffs notes!

[kdubs923]

Duuuude.... DS is wide fucking awake. And has been for 45 minutes. DH is working overnight. Dh's schedule has not allowed for me to get to sleep in for the last month. I'm exhausted and tomorrow happens to be one of my busiest days of the year. My alarm will go off in 5 hours.

Go the fuck to sleep, kid.

IMO, no, other than you need to choose something and stick with it, not bounce around. Don't decide to rock him to sleep after crying for 45 minutes one night, then cry it out the next, then rock him fully to sleep the 3rd night, etc. Stick with the plan and if it's really not working, scrap it, go back to what you used to do for a few weeks then try again.

I scored a used Pottery Barn train table with the 2 bins today at a furniture consignment place. I'm super pleased, I really wanted one but could never decide to pull the trigger. $80? Yes, please!

We have birthday twins I think? But C is always shirt pulling lately! He has been jamming his face in my chest at home for a few months but now when we go shopping with him in the cart he spends the whole time trying to pull my shirt down. Today H had to take over pushing because he kept yanking my shirt and crying.

[matildasun]

A woke me up when she climbed into my bed. Normally, I would go right back to sleep, but tonight I have horrible heartburn.
I just found some tums from when I was pregnant with M and was planning on taking them even if they were expired, but they aren't. They do not expire until November. Hooray.

[heygrey]

i think tonight is the second worst night we've ever had.

he went to bed at 7. up at 8 and has been crying hysterically for the last two hours. we've gone in and shushed, nursed, changed diaper, walked, rocked... breaking all the CIO rules. notta. knowing he's otherwise fine, we've just put him back in his crib to cry. i'm sitting in the kitchen with the dishwasher running so i can't hear him. h is on monitor duty.

so far, seven months can suck it.

[smm5623]

My toddler woke me up first tonight. Why won't she STTN anymore??

Up feeding the baby now. Hopefully he goes back down easily so I can get a little sleep

[rbp]

I just woke up from a dream that I met @brie at the KC airport. Ha!

[jackie011]

What do I do?? DS has been crying off and on for the past hour. I nursed him at first and then put him back down. He was good for about 20 minutes, then started crying out again. I go in, replace his paci, rub his back or belly, and then go back to my room. Just as I'm getting comfy in bed- the crying starts. Lather, rinse, repeat. I effing hate teeth!



ETA: DH took the last round. He went in and it was immediately silent! I couldn't see or hear anything on the monitor. He came back to bed after a few minutes and announced that DS just needed his diaper changed. He then put him back in his crib with a freaking cloth diaper that my son Is now rubbing all over his face. And DH has fallen back asleep while I wait out DS so I can grab that damn diaper out of the crib. Thanks a lot babe. :~

Our weekend wasn't what we had planned. We drove out to the beach to attend an event but parking was such a nightmare that we scrapped it and went out for lunch instead. Turned out to be a blessing in disguise since my broken toe started hurting more and more. Ended up skipping brunch with friends on Sunday as well, but did go to a friend's house for dinner. Their DD1 is in the height of the terrible twos. My poor non-drinker H was like, "I'm gonna need some alcohol to get through that in a couple of years."

Oh man, my 2.5 YO nephew was a MESS last night. It's strange to me, because he's super smart, so I feel like you should be able to rationalize with him, but he was throwing tantrums over crazy stuff. It doesn't help that my sister/BIL don't appear to have any kind of consistent strategy for dealing with them.
