Sunday night and MOTN

[MadamePresident]

I'm tucking the kids in and super hoping they both fall asleep quickly even though they napped late.

@starry Sorry that your MIL is being a jerk.

[namasteak]

Sorry your MIL is being awful @starry . There is no shame in supplementing!

[longtimenopost]

M has been sleeping most of the day so she's having some awake time now. I'm loving the smiles! She's just over 7 weeks. Hoping for some sleep tonight since I'm solo parenting both girls all day tomorrow.

Night two of the Merlin sleep suit. Fussed a few times since putting her down at 7, but replaced the binkie and zonked back out. Nursing now in hopes of a good long stretch. But since I just said that, I'm sure I'll be up again in 1.5 hours haha.

[ladygrey]

I pumped for the first time today and DS successfully took a bottle - woo! I am bound and determined not to have another bottle refuser on my hands.

[namasteak]

DS2 went down 15 min ago after emptying both breasts (unusual) over the last hour so I'm hoping I can fall asleep soon and he gives me a good stretch.

I made breakfast and lunch for the week today since it made things much easier last week.

Ds1 fell about 3" from some playground equipment today but seems fine. It was just scary because I know he could have climbed higher and fallen from a greater height. He seems fine though

[AmyRI]

I started watching the pats/colts game, expecting to see a blow out by halftime and I'd sleep well. Instead they were down by 1 but I have to go to bed anyway... unsuccessfully so far. I'm not sleepy after watching a close game!

[Muddled]

Stinking hiccups keep waking kid up.

[pooh8402]

Sorry about your MIL, @starry. You're doing great!

E has been a cranky little dude the past couple nights. I'm sure his early wakeup yesterday had something to do with it, in addition to all the people and stimulation he got yesterday. Last night and tonight, he was down at 6:30. Not good, especially with DST ending soon. I like the 7:30 bedtime.

And he woke up a bit ago, so I'm nursing him back to sleep now.

[namasteak]

Lots of ❤️ for the BST board tonight. I just bough Jeggings in my current size & the next size down. Those plus the nice nursing tops & some LLR I bought should get me through this awkward feeling phase with a bit more confidence.

[turtlegirl]

DD napped from 330pm until I woke her up at about 645pm. I fed her, she pooped, we listened to DH read to the boys before bed, said goodnight to them, I gave her a bath that ended super quick because she pooped in the infant tub. And now it's only 745pm and I'm nursing her to sleep for the night because she was freaking out doing her "I'm tired" cry.

I really hope she sleeps until at least midnight!

I stepped on the scale and all 39 pounds are gone!!!

Hahaha just kidding. I did harbor an irrational fantasy as such. Did not happen

I am in overweight vs obese territory now though!

When I got home I had lost 7 pounds. DS2 weighed 7.14 at birth. #notfair

lolol glad you still have a sense of humor, even after dealing with your MIL's nonsense.

DD has had horrible nights of sleeping the last two nights. She's almost 12 pounds so I think I'm going to work on letting her cry it out a bit. I know she's not hungry and we all need to sleep.

We had a bunch a people over today to watch a football game. It was fun to have everyone over and DS loved having playmates. He has really hit it off with our neighbor's son. When they we leaving, neighbor boy (3 years old) said "you can come over to my house" and they hugged. DS was so adorable today, despite a very short nap and being up way past his bedtime.

[dcn]

I am exhausted. We had a small gtg for Ds' bday today and of course he didn't nap so he was just crazy. It was really fun though! He fell right asleep and fingers crossed he sleeps at least until 7 when his toddler clock turns green.

[212]

My boobs are going to explode.

That is all.

DD and I had a really good day! We thrived, even. Whew. Only one more weekend of totally doing it alone.

[miamigirl]

Sorry about your MIL @starry

I just put DD to sleep and should be going to bed soon. I'm online shopping instead... I'll regret it later, lol.

[anna7602]

My baby is a jerk. I have a crazy-ass non-negotiable deadline and he decides to get sick last week (102 fever and the like) and then just when I think he's better, he gives me two good days and then goes into horrific teething mode. He just woke up for the second time since I put him down at 7:30 (it's 12:15am). I'm up working, but I just can't go in there or else I could lose 30-45 minutes or more of time to work, which, after midnight, makes a big freaking difference. So, DH is all snippy with me because he just had to go in there, even though I'm the one who is "up anyway." 

Gaaaaa, gaaaaa, gaaaaa. Please sleep, baby. I absolutely need to stay up tonight and can't deal with more interruptions. And DH will not go in there again after this tonight. 

[anna7602]

Also, @starry, you need to get away from all of these people! Surround yourself with the forces of good, not evil!

My MIL is super judgy we are lightly supplementing until my milk comes in (as in, she got three ounces of formula, two ounces of pumped milk, and ten nursing sessions). I am hearing baby scream as I pump almost certainly due to her trying to keep DD2 from evil formula. Gahhh. Way to make the nurse, pump, supplement dance worse.

WOW. Can you send the old bitch home?

[redheadk]

DD came down with a fever on Wednesday and it won't go away. It's been up and down, mostly low grade, but was back up to 101, 102 today. She puked all over the place last night and is now coughing and has a super runny nose (she requests a tissue by running up and shouting "boogers!"). We are calling the pedi tomorrow. She will have missed a full week of school as of tomorrow I'm ready for her to be well.

I feel like crying. I had a bad headache last night that woke me up and e only medicine we have has caffeine in it, not much so I decided to risk it. I shouldn't have. I was awake between 11-3. I feel like crap and today is when I'm telling work I'm expecting. Nothing better than confirming pregnancy stereotypes by being a space case.

[jorja]

I am at my breaking point with my kid's sleep.

I know we're going to have to do CIO and I'm in tears just thinking about it. But we're going on three hours of her being wide awake and this is a nightly occurrence.

@republicrat did you get the strips over your incision? Mine itch.

Yes and mine itched too. They already fell off a couple days ago. Thanks, fupa.

[preppy]

DD went down without the usual witching hour which I am finding terrifying and I am waiting for it all to come crashing down. She went down about 8, wake up #1 was at 11 and I fed her and DH handled changing etc. Now it's wake up #2 at 2am. Usually we have a 1am, 5am, then wake up at 7 so we will either be up at 6am or I will gain an hour I am thinking. TBD.

[fashionx]

I lost 7 lbs when I went home from the hospital, and DD was 6lbs 14oz. So yeah.

We are having another sleepless night tonight... Ahhh! We are on wake-up 3 or 4 now? And I nursed, changed diaper because she kept farting and figured better safe than sorry later. Nursed some more and rocked to sleep. Put her down, within 5 minutes she's farting again and wide awake. I pick her up to rock asleep again and she burps, so maybe that was it? Nope! Had her down another 5 minutes and she's up again. DH is rocking her now.

Guys I am starting to think there is something really wrong with me. I am going into day 3 of being unable to talk and now day 4 of intestinal distress. This is like day 13 of sore throat. Urgent care Dr said virus, but I am just getting worse by the day not better.

[awkwardpenguin]

karinothing, hugs. I'd try to be seen at your regular doc's.

[namasteak]

Ugh only 220 and wake up 3

[lg28]

Up with the 15-m old whose puking. Oh yay.


My 3-yr old has a weird rash all over his body.


I foresee a trip to the doc in the am.
