Friday to Saturday motn

[krystee]

Up due to sick baby. He sounds so miserable.

[ellipsis]

Up for a busted swaddle. Might as well feed and pump. I have a feeling the next wake up is going to come way too soon..

[glinda]

I'm really weepy tonight knowing that next week is halfway through ML for me.

The thing is, I like my job. And I stayed at home for 8 months with DS1, and I did not particularly enjoy it. But I feel so emotional about this--like will I not have as strong of a bond with DS2 because I won't be with him as much?

I think a lot of it is having the daycare situation so up in the air. If I knew that he would be at DS1's daycare (ie where he SHOULD be if they hadn't screwed up) I would feel so much better. Blargh.

DD has a cough - remnants from a cold virus last week. She's having occasional coughing fits that I can't sleep through at least I went to bed with them at 8 and got an uninterrupted 5 hour chunk. Now to try to find a comfortable position and get back to sleep...

[glitzy07]

C woke up screaming bloody murder about 45 minutes ago. First time that's happened in months. He's back down, but now H is snoring loudly next to me and he's dead to the world, so I of course am wide awake.

[humpforfree]

Heeeeeerree..
She's latching well and I think started getting colostrum, but has not been happy sleeping on her own. I'm not really in walking condition yet, so H has been walking her in the room between nursing, but he is exhausted. I'm wicked pooped too- I think we each got a few hours last night but that's it. Blah. I'm taking a turn this time and going to rock her hopefully.

[preppy]

I'm up. We are at my in laws and it's giving me so much anxiety. Ugh. Stella is doing fine but I'm not. They bought a pack n play but when we got here they didn't have a sheet for it. Realized that around 9pm once it was too late. Soo she's sleeping on us all night which isn't ideal. She usually does half bassinet half on us. She loves it and is sleeping great but I'm half awake and nervous about it when she's on me.

[humpforfree]

Her hair is SO dark. Like black. It's so weird. Lane's hair was brown and now it's blonde. I wonder if Ella's hair will stay dark.

[kaycee]

preppy my DD slept in a pack and play for 6 months and my DS is sleeping in one now and I didn't even know they sold sheets for them.

I just got 5 hours of sleep. I cannot believe it. It is the longest block I've gotten in forever. My boobs are so full. He's normally a one sided nurser, but he's eating both now.

[starburst]

Here. I got a 5-hour stretch, which is the best he's done this week. After a huge dip in my supply last week, it seems to be going back up because I woke up and my boobs were killing me. I may not need that big order of domperidone that I placed last week. Oh well, it will be good to have on hand in case this happens again.

humpforfree - My niece and nephew were like that. He was born with lighter hair and is now blond.  She was born with super dark hair like your DD and she has dirty blond hair now. 

[dottyblue]

Checking in. DS went 3.5 hours. Woo! Pedi appointment today was great and he's up 4 oz from our hospital discharge weight. Only 4 oz to birth weight. Pedi gave me the all clear to let him sleep at night and not being woken by an alarm or fighting with a sleepy baby is great.

humpforfree she is beautiful!

[turtlegirl]

DD has just been super restless all night, even though she's swaddled and should be full. She was kinda fussy and cranky when she was awake this evening and that seems to have carried over to her sleep.

I have no idea if she was really awake enough to really be a full wake up, but I just figured a full reset might help. So I changed her diaper (which was really really full) and re-swaddled and am nursing now. So we will see if that helps at all.

[awkwardpenguin]

humpforfree, ahhhhh, tiny baby with so much hair!

I think DD is back down after her first wake up. Traveling wreaked havoc on her sleeping today, so I'm hoping she gets some good sleep tonight.

We have never had a PNP sheet. I just tuck a baby blanket in really tight under the mattress. It never comes up if u want to try it.

[karinothing]

One day my kid will stop pooping overnight right?

[longtimenopost]

Wake-up 1. Baby girl went 5 hours and I slept 4 of them, with some interruptions to replace a paci . If she could make it until 730 when DD gets up I'll be drunk with sleep!

[humpforfree]

Wow. I forgot about the post partum sweats. Holding a SUPER WARM sleeping baby isn't helping either, I'm sure.

[Deleted]

Ethan didn't go down until 10:30 because I'm at my parents house. First wakeup now.

[namasteak]

Wake up 1

DH is in here with us (guests are on the first bed) & it's nice but weird.

I hate second guessing myself all the time. Tonight it's worrying every time stitches hurt when I move wrong.

[nabum]

Ugh... Went out for a friend's bday, baby. Was up w sitter when we got home. I made an agreement that H would handle overnight but he is passed out and I'm dealing with her. This is so annoying. I'm leaving him in charge the rest of the weekend

[pooh8402]

humpforfree, she is so beautiful!

Wakeup #2. He woke me up, smacking on his hands, ate, and back down in 10 minutes, woo! Now I'm pumping.

I love my Moo N Cookies. I ate one yesterday afternoon, and just added 2 oz to my pump with no other changes.

[laurenh]

This is wakeup 4? 5? Both babies have colds and aren't happy. I escaped to the couch to pump while H tries to get them back to sleep. Yawn.

[laurenh]

humpforfree she is just beautiful!

[dottyblue]

pooh8402. What are moo n cookies?

I'm up again. Someone remind me? When does the newborn instinct to stick their hands in front of their face when hungry end? We just had quite the battle to get DS to latch. He was pissed that I pinned his arms down.

[turtlegirl]

I got just about a 3 hour stretch, so apparently the reset worked. Nursing now and hoping another 3 hours is in the cards. That would make it 6am, which is much more reasonable than the 430am wake up call from yesterday where she wouldn't go back down after a feeding.

[kaycee]

I got another 3 hours! Hopefully my toddler will keep sleeping and I can get another stretch of sleep.

My husband works the morning shift and I'm thrilled! It is so much nicer than when he works a mid or a night.

[hetty]

C used to be such a good traveler but now she is....not. She normally sleeps so well at home but she's been struggling lately there and away. 18 month sleep regression is a thing, right?
And of course I can't let her cry with bil/sil, nephew, mil/sfil all a room or two away. I spent an hour trying to get her back to sleep then gave up and now we are on the couch watching "bee-dos" (Despicable Me 2)

[turtlegirl]

No luck. It's 430am and she woke up with a ton of gas and a poopy diaper. Nursing now, but not holding out much hope for sleep after this.

[pooh8402]

dottyblue, they're lactation cookies made by a poster on this board, celiacmom. They super yummy and they work, at least for me.

We did our usual 9:30 and midnight feeds but stretched out the night to a 2:30 and 5:45! Then she's eating now and we will be up for the day. It's likely cause she slept on me all night but I don't even care!
