Wednesday/Thursday MOTN

[awkwardpenguin]

DD was a banshee going down tonight. She nursed forever and then took about 3 oz from a bottle and finally went to sleep. She was up around 9:30 but she hasn't been up since then.

DW and I had a long talk tonight about a long simmering conflict. It was good and things seem mostly resolved. It's a huge weight off both of us to have talked it through.

DD has been teething since Sunday, canines. It's been the most miserable of her teeth so far. I've been going to bed with DD for the past 3 days at 8:45 pm and falling asleep by 10 pm or earlier while she falls asleep by 9. We just finished an MOTN. She woke up screaming asking for milk so I figured the night was over and it was at least 5 am or later, time to get up for the day. Nope, only 12:15 am. She's forgotten what STTN means, not that she was that good at it before anyways.

DS slept from 10:30-12:30. Normally a two hour stretch wouldn't excite me but since he has been awake from 9-12 the last few nights I'm happy to tack on a little extra sleep. I hope he goes right back down after nursing. We will see.

Deep MOTN thoughts- I pumped Sunday and that milk is still in the fridge. I need to toss right?
I hate pumping so much that DS has only had 1 oz from a bottle. I'm Scared of what this means for returning to work in 3 weeks.

No, you don't need to toss it. I don't know how to c&p on my new phone yet, but the LLL guidelines say it's good for up to 8 days on the fridge.

We're on wakeup 2. DS won't go back to sleep. He's not unhappy, but he's very awake.

[wanderingenough]

Wake up 1 at 1am. Little one was an angel and has slept since 10:30.

[namasteak]

Wake up 1
5 hours after he went down & 3 hours after the dream feed He only ate for 5min so hopefully that was enough!

Trying one arm out in the sleep sack tonight. We tried last week and only made in an hour so we went back. Tonight seems to be going well so far. No different than the rest of the week wearing the sack with no free arms (not swaddled though).

DD is still kind of sick and today I'm feeling it too. Hopefully it passes quickly.

She didn't nap this afternoon and was starting to fall asleep on DH's lap while sitting, so we put her to bed at 6:15 instead of 7. Well then she woke up of course, but was down 7:30-11:30. I nursed and she's up again only an hour later. She is trying to roll over in her sleep still... I watched her go a full 90 degrees while trying.

DS is asleep, I just pumped to add to my freezer supply since I'm headed back to work so soon.

My dcp suggested that instead of making however many bottles, I should just bring in however much milk I think he will eat through the day in larger storage bottles and then just some empties. Then they can pour however much milk into the empty bottle and hopefully it wiill cut down on waste. I figure I'll take 16-20 oz in every day if possible and bring whatever is left home to freeze.

Wake up 1. He wasn't fully awake, and I probably should have let him fuss to see if he could get himself back to sleep, but I knew I would just lie there in bed waiting for him to start crying. I think next week we're going to move him to the nursery, and hopefully we'll all sleep better.

Technically this is my first wakeup but I'm up pumping snd DD is still asleep. She's been asleep since 10 and appears to be going strong. I'm pumping my bad side to relieve pressure which helps with the pain. I'm leaving my left for when she wakes up.

I have some pumped milk in the fridge, but not much. I'm nervous that if I have to be in the hospital overnight tomorrow there won't be enough BM and she wint take formula. I'm hoping I can get a good pumping session in the morning and atleast pump in the hospital while we transition some if the bottles. My mom is coming up in the AM and I could have her run the freshly pumped milk back? Atleast the hospital is close.

Sorry brain dump. Hoping she is actually up sooner than later so I can just wakeup once and not be back up in 30 mins to feed her. TBD.

[preppy]

Wakeup #1 with DD. She slept from 10pm to 4:45am. If I hadnt gotten up to pump at 2:30 that would be almost 7 hours of sleep. That's pretty much normal sleep. Here's hoing she goes back down after this for atleast another 1-2 hours.

Wake up 2

This is the point in the night where I always debate changing his diaper and don't. It's a PITA to unswaddle but It's also a PITA to wash it every day because of a leak.

[kaycee]

The longest I've slept in two nights is the two hours I fell asleep holding DS in the glider (he was very safe). That makes 5 hours in 2 days. I wish my toddler would nap, so we could all take one tomorrow.

Instead of coming home when he got off work at 11:30pm, DH went and got a beer with a couple guys. One of the guys is moving away, so I don't really mind. But if he tells me he is tire tomorrow he's in big trouble especially considering my total lack of sleep.

[gibbinator]

Ds2 is up before, 5am after going to sleep an hour late and me getting to bed sometime after midnight.
I'm really looking forward to the time change

Wakeup eleventy. I think DS has been up a little every sleep cycle. I've onLy fed twice thOugh.

[blueberry10]

I've been up with DS for an hour because he keeps coughing. Poor kid can't seem to shake this little cold he's had. He was just grinning at me and clapping - very cute, but dude, please get sleepy again!

[rikki]

My husband, X and I all fell asleep on the couch around 7:30. Apparently they went up to bed at 11. I just woke up, saw the vacuum and thought it was E, and wondered how he crawled out of his crib in a sleepsack. I'm upstairs now but cannot sleep because my husband is snoring and the swing is making a clicking noise.

[countthestars]

Not sure if this is wake up 3 or still 2? He got up at 3:30, was awake until we both dozed (him on me) around 5 or so. Put him in the rnp at 5:25 and he was screaming ten minutes later. Ughhhh

I am so scared for this. He wakes up before 5:00 no matter what time he goes to bed so I have a feeling next week is going to suck big time.

I joke that I'll soon be on French time, the better to work with my European clients?

sent, I fear for L's canines. When he got his molars just after a year it totally derailed what little sleep progress we had made. He's now been mostly STTN for two months or so but I can see big white bumps on his gums where the canines will be so I know the time is near. I'm not nursing anymore and the only thing that even remotely helped with the molars was sticking a boob in his mouth when he was screaming. I'm sad I don't have that option anymore. I hope it's a quick process for you guys.

Wakeup

[turtlegirl]

DH took the first wake up of the night so I slept from 9pm until he got me just before 3am. I briefly heard her crying around 1130pm, but went right back to sleep.

She was crying at 3am when he woke me up, but by the time I went to the bathroom and went in the nursery she was back asleep. Then she was grunting, farting and fussing in her sleep until about 345am when she funky really woke up. No I'm nursing her and hoping to get another 1.5-2 hours of sleep.

I already feel so much better after getting that much sleep at the start of the night. I think I'm going to tell DH we need to make this a regular thing, maybe every other night.

[turtlegirl]

And she just finished nursing, pooped and fell asleep in my arms on the boppy. Well, I guess I'm just going to transfer her and she how long she'll sleep in it...sigh, poor third child.

[rugbywife]

Rough night here. E was up MOTN, molars I suspect, can't come fast enough. DH and I tag teamed her but I still had P to contend with all night.

I am exhausted, the weather is horrible and we have essentially no plans for today. Our regular reading program is on a planning week. . We will go to paid drop in in the morning and then free drop in at 4pm. Other than that the TV will have to help me parent.

[preppy]

Woke up for the day at 7:15. So basically she was the angel child of sleep last night which I really needed.

I am pumping now and DH is giving her a bottle with 2oz BM and 1oz formula and that's going better than all formula.
