MOTN thread - T-W

[Deleted]

Of course the one week DH has to travel for work this year, DD is sick. My MIL, who is here to watch DD tomorrow, is less than helpful from 7PM on and DD has basically been up every half hr since 9:30.
I gave her Tylenol and she promptly threw up allll over me (and my clean PJs). Now she's alternating between babbling and snoring from the congestion in my arms.
My mom, who usually comes on Thursday nights to watch DD on Friday, has a wedding to attend Thursday night so I'm on my own with DD from 5PM tomorrow-7AM Friday. I'm ready to run away already.

I'm here. Sleep battles continue. Tried the bouncer and to let him cry it out a bit. An hour later and nope. I gave up. Now he is sleeping in my arms but I'm sure the second I put him anywhere else he will freak. Sigh. F'n doomed to sleep in the recliner for forever, it seems.

Here. DD2 is currently CIO, but more like whining/moaning. I was walking her back to sleep but she kept pushing away and stiffening up, kicking her legs, so into the crib she went. She's so close to sleep. Come on, kid, sort it out!

Is the 5mo wakeful a thing? Because DS thinks it is. Yawn.

Tomorrow is my first day back to work and tonight I already slept through an alarm. I basically ended up completely skipping a pumping session.

I'm exhausted and do feel better after the first 5 hour stretch of consecutive sleep I've had in weeks; I just hope this doesn't result in plugged ducts because that is not going to work out so well for me.

Omg I just had to re-do the whole bedtime thing with Dd because apparently she wanted me to do it not H. ::angry eye roll:: I hate giving into stupid toddler tantrum demands but I just wanted to get back to bed and there was no end in sight. Of course as soon as I came back DS was awake and refuses to take a bottle from H.

My MIL took the baby so I could sleep for 3 uninterrupted hours this afternoon.

He was really hard to get down tonight. Not overly fussy, but just would not sleep. He finally passed out at 9 and is just now stirring! I slept from 10-1:15.

Between this afternoon and that stretch tonight, I feel like a new person!

I'm up pumping and warming a bottle because he's gone two hours past when he was supposed to eat last.

[ryry]

Another 3:15 wake up. My kids are too old for me to be in the MOTN thread!

[estrellita]

So tired! E was so fussy all day that I finally got some time to myself after he went to bed that I was up later than usual. Yawn. Maybe I'll be lucky and he will sleep in a bit? Doubtful.. haha.

[sarahsas]

Up again. Still in recliner. Going to feed g then try rnp again. I Long for my bed..... Fresh sheets too

[estrellita]

Of course E just chugged 2 ounces and passed out. I'm waiting though because I'm sure he will wake up in a few minutes wanting the rest. I wish he could finish the bottle before passing out!

[specialk]

I'm here. Woke up at 3 on my own, DS started crabbing around 330 but kept settling. I finally made a bottle a half hour ago but he went back to sleep before taking it. Now I'm up and probably wasting this bottle. I'm sure he will wake up as soon as it's no good.

[bananapancakes]

Another day, another 4:15 wake up over here. It's way too early kid! I don't understand how someone so little can be so awake and happy at such a ridiculously early hour. He was also up fussing at 2:00 but put himself back to sleep.

[sarahsas]

Sigh.

We're end on the tail end of wakeup #1 after a 6hr stretch. Now if I could only get tired earlier so I can sleep for more of it!

Last night and yesterday were full of firsts and amazingness....8hr stretch of sleep, 1st roll over (bacl to tummy) and she figured out how to grab the toys on her bouncy chair. We were both incredibly proud. Now I really don't want to go back to work next week!

J was up at 12:45 and 4:445.

I have realized he does not sleep nearly enough if we stay home all day, but sleeps like a rock if we run errands or go places. As a result, I am making a list of places we might go for the next week. My goddaughter's softball practice is today's place. Tomorrow we are going to a botanic garden. Friday I think we'll go shoe shopping and we have birthday cake for a friend's kid that night. This is a win-win because I LOVE getting out of the house.

DS2 has decided at his wake up is 6:00 am everyday. Better than a lot of your LOs times, but he use to sleep until 7:00 and that was amazing.

Does he eventually lay down motn? DS went thru a stage where he laid on me each night till the 2 am or motn feeding and then will go in RNP. It was from when he was about 6-10 weeks.

[isabel]

Wake up 2. He gave me another solid 3 hours of sleep and 3.5 hours between feedings. If I can get him to go back to sleep in a reasonable amount of time (which is a challenge for this wake up), I will be beyond thrilled.

he falls asleep easily, but even if he's super asleep and has been for awhile, the second I put him in anything he wakes up. He used to sleep in the RnP but now he starts grunting and crying anytime I put him in it.
