Mon-Tues MOTN

[noodleoo]

I can't sleep. I'm sitting here fuming at my H. We keep having the same issue and argument over and over. He works FT and I'm SAHM (for now). I'm basically the default parent and I never get a break. I just wish he'd make some effort to give me a break on weekends. He worked Sat so he was off today. I had a horrible night and couldnt sleep and he was still a selfish jerk and couldn't take care of her for even a little bit to let me rest. I always have to ask a thousand times and nag to get him to do anything. We barely ate today (because I felt like crap and didn't make anything, god forbid he do it). I made us a small lunch finally bc I was starving. He was supposed to order pizza for dinner while I fed DD and put her to bed and he couldn't even do that. I had to remind him and we didn't eat until 8 PM. He's just so selfish and thoughtless. I pretty much just reamedc him out in bed. Now I can't sleep so I'm probably having another miserable night.

We just keep having the same fight over and over again. He always says he's sorry and that he will do better but he never does. I just want to run away and let him see how much he takes me for granted. But obviously I'd never leave DD. I just feel so trapped. And since I am unemployed, I have no control. This is so not what I expected from him.

Hugs noodleoo. I currently want to smother my DH with a pillow because he is snoring SO LOUDLY that I can't fall asleep even though I've had a combined total of 8 hours of broken sleep the last two nights. And yet, I don't want to make the guest bed up or kick him out because he has a certification exam tomorrow. Grumble.

Also, all I want for Christmas is a day at home without my husband or kids. I'll even pump so I can be ALL ALONE.

ME TOO. my H hasn't taken care of DD for longer than about 2 hours without me. I've been EBF and not even pumping because of chronic plugged ducts. I think I might have to risk it and leave on my own for a day. When I stop BFing I might run away for a week. I wish.

Hugs noodleoo. My H is pretty clueless about trying to help out with Z. We've had a few good fights over his lack of helping when he's home. He's made more of an effort lately, but only after I had a few melt downs and told him I needed help.

It's been a rough night. Took me forever to get Z to sleep initially. Then he was up 2 hours later, and then an hour later. And wouldn't go back to sleep. So I moved downstairs to the recliner to rock him. I got 3 hours of sleep in the recliner and now he's up again and fighting going back to sleep.

I'm sorry noodleoo.

DD is awake but not crying. Just in her crib making noises. In theory she could be hungry, but it doesn't seem like that's the case.

[countthestars]

Ugh DS and I have been up for 45 min. Go back to sleep!

[kdubs923]

We went from several nights of STTN to waking every 2 hours. And taking forever to fall asleep MOTN. I wish she had just started out as a shitty sleeper. It's worse hoping for a good night and then being disappointed. Yawn.

My baby suddenly hates to sleep and it makes me want to die.

Noodle, I'm so sorry. I really think it would be so worth it to start introducing a bottle even once a day so that you can leave for a bit. Not having more than a 2 hour break has to be exhausting.

I ordered baby shower invites on Etsy. They came as a jpeg but everywhere around me wants a PDF to print them. I emailed my Etsy person and it is $6 to get the jpeg made into a PDF. Is that normal or redic? I sent her a kind of sassy email and now I'm all worked up and remembering why I shouldn't check my emails while I'm doing MOTN duty.

Oh! And I dreamed I was pregnant. Wtf.

[kaycee]

I have a sore throat and it makes it so hard to sleep. Hopefully we go back to sleep for awhile n

Can you do a print to PDF of the jpeg?

GOOD thought! Am going to try this at work!

Up at 2am feeding DD. DH did a paci replacement at 11:30 after she went down at at 830pm. So a fairly crappy night so far. I'm not banking on much sleep from now until 6am either.

[namasteak]

I'm miserable and exhausted since ds2s sleep went to shit. This is the second night in a row he has been up every 60-90 minutes after 4 nights of every 2 -3 hours he's not eating every time but I pop him on the boob since it means the wake up is only 5 min but I think that might be a mistake. He's swaddled on the swing next to me so I'm not sure what else to try.

He was sleeping 6-10 hours initially & then shorter stretches before we went OOT for the stupid wedding . Could that really hVe messed up his sleep this much?i

Plus he's able to loosen a triple swaddle (he's not hot the house is at 66) so I need to stop that soon & I fear sleep will get even worse.

He's not nursed to sleep before bed and only for 1/2 of his naps (if I can't walk/bounce him to sleep quick enough for the 2 year old not to get into trouble) so I don't think it's a nurse to sleep association problem.

He has several signs of reflux (frequent cough & congestion and spits up a lot & now crappy sleep) but The pedi doesn't think it's reflux and I don't really since he was sleeping great before. Plus he already sleeps at an incline.

He eats every 2 hours during the day (can go longer but this was helping wih long night stretches) so he's not hungry.

I can't even have coffee because it makes me super anxious and tea doesn't quite do the trick uggghhhhh

I think the peppers and onions I had for lunch made DS super gassy. He just screams whenever I put him down. I think I'm going to just hold him in the glider and doze off, so I can get a little sleep. Three days of no sleep is making fighting off DD's cold impossible.

[kiddoc]

The first part of our night wasn't bad. DD went to sleep at 7:45 and woke up at 2:20. I fed her on one side, which is typically all she wants MOTN, but apparently she's still hungry and is now eating again. I'm hoping after this she will sleep until closer to when my alarm goes off at 6:45

[humpforfree]

Wake up 3 at 6 am. Maybe Sunday night was a fluke. Up at 12:30 for a 6 hour stretch, up again at 2:30 and now. She did poop a ton about an hour or so ago, but slept through it all (or went right back to sleep?). I wonder if she had to poop earlier and that's why the extra/earlier wake up.
I'm going to attempt to put her back in the RNP after she nurses so I can grab an extra hour or so.

[starburst]

I'm sorry, noodleoo. My H and I have the same issue. I could have written your exact post. He always says he's tired from working all day, like I'm enjoying a leisurely day with a high maintenance 5-month old who wants to be held all day. I'm hoping that as DS gets older and more fun and interactive, he will spend more time with him.
