Is it too early?

My two day old is asleep on my chest. She wakes up every time we try to put her down.

[Cioccolato]

Bernadine, I hope you get some sleep!

It's 6:50 here, I'm getting ready for work. We had friends over until 11 last night, I'm tired but it's nice to have friends over. One more week of work until 6 weeks holiday!

I am on my way to work. I will be handling all of my client's 4-month old's wake ups between 10 and 6. Postpartum doula life.
My 4 year old isn't in bed yet.

I need a postpartum doula. Lol.

H will take a turn in a bit.

Ds1 is nursing every 1.5-2 hours. He hasn't slept longer than 1.5 hours in almost two whole days. He's exhausted, I'm exhausted. Praying he evens things out tomorrow for us.

H is ho,e from his work trip. I volunteered to take the first shift in hopes that it means a solid chunk of sleep from 1-7am.

I'm here. She has cluster fed from 6pm-now (1:18am). I'm exhausted and my nipples hurt. And my boobs are sad and floppy.

Yup, this is where I am. I think my milk is coming in, so I'm hoping that will help her stay fuller.

I think my swaddle blankets are too small.

ETA- oh, and I just saw your IG pic. Are you using a pacifier already? We've used it a today, and I'm feeling a little guilty.

Mine was fully in Sat... Started Fri. So day 4-5? Had her Tues

Chase has been sleeping a little better at night. His first wake up is at 3:30 rather than 11:30. It only took 23 months!

[babyrn]

Wake up number 2 and I'm up nursing her! She usually won't BF at night so this is great. I was too tired at the first wake up so DH gave a bottle. I will still have to pump after she eats though.

[babyrn]

And now dd1 is up too. It's 4am people. DH is topping dd2 off with a bottle since dd1 is in a phase where she only wants me and I'm trying to get her back to sleep. DH has to get up for work in 30 min and I still have to pump and get both girls back down. So tired.

Ugh how is it 3:30am Pacific time already? I got up with DS at 1:30am and haven't been able to fall back asleep because I'm tossing and turning about work. Damn work insomnia is striking and I'm only working 5 hours/week right now!

Trying to. She won't usually take it from me.

[raangoli]

I just finished her 6 am feed. And got clocked in the face. Thanks kid.

[babyrn]

Omg dd1 is up again. These two are trying to kill me. DH already left for work and the girls keep waking up. Mommy just wants sleep.

[broadsheet]

DD2 is killing me. She was up screaming from 1:30 to 2:30. She's way too old for this (19 months.) It's been weeks since she's STTN. I have no idea what her deal is - maybe she'll get some Advil tonight in case it's teeth? I feel like we're throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks.
