MOTN Thursday/Friday

[Bernadine]

First wake up- dd slept for 4 1/2 hours! Omg, I needed that. She was a bear to put down and only gave me 5 hour-long stretches the night before.

[kdubs923]

Where did my good sleeping, unicorn baby go?

Wake up #4.

[Elsa]

First wake-up. She didn't go down till almost midnight do I'm tired

[greycat]

DD was a mess and went to bed later than normal but gave me a good stretch. Unfortunately she woke up DS.

[mskitkat]

I need a baby whisperer. DD wakes up, I nurse her and hand her off to DH al milk drunk and drowsy. It is supposed to go that he holds her upright for 20 min and then puts her down. The last two nights she has woken herself up and started screaming like a banshee for as long as he has held her. Once I take her back, it's smiles and giggles. The hell child? DH is her primary caregiver right now, and she doesn't do this during the day.

[Raggedeannie]

Wake ups at 11, 1, and 3:30. Maybe now we'll get our long stretch?? Fx.

[CloudBee]

It's 4am and I'm up with DS again. We've been up off and on all night because of his fever. It keeps bouncing around between 101 and 104. Right now he's at 103. He's been absolutely miserable all night. I just got him to eat a popsicle. So now we're chilling in the dark guest room (he's on the trundle), with a popsicle and the iPad. Trying to talk him into taking another chewable Advil.

What a shitty 24 hrs.

CloudBee I hope his temperature stays down and he is feeling better soon

Wake up number one here. DD slept for 5.5 hours. I wish she did that every night!

[winemaker06]

CloudBee, really hope his fever breaks soon!

Instead of initially going down at 10 like she has the past week, DD cluster fed until 12:30. I was so fed up by that point.
Plus was having insane cramps that medicine didn't touch, which didn't help my mood. I thought I was done with the worst of the postpartum misery ::sigh::

On the shuttle to the airport.

H and I both had work things last night so my mom put her down. She slept 7:30-midnight, woke up for quick feeding, then woke up at 4am and has stayed awake. Lately if she wakes for a second feeding I can put her back down. Today she was WIDE awake and gurgling and ready to play. TGIF.

[raangoli]

CloudBee I hope his fever breaks soon.

mskitkat can you have your DH keep a shirt it something of yours with your scent so your DD can smell that? She may miss you and freaks out when you are gone.

[dancingirl21]

We were up at 11, 1:15 (up and down until 3:30), 4, and DS1 was up for the day at 5:50. I'm so tired I could cry. We are having DS1's birthday party tomorrow so I have a million things to do today.

I am not saying this to make you dread the next few days, but I think O is finally on the mend from this same thing he's had since Sunday afternoon:( over 101 the whole time, mostly 103 and higher, with no explanation. he ate almost nothing that whole time, but drank enough. I hope your DS wants to sleep today and is feeling better soon!

Well it's at least helpful to know what may be ahead of us. He did throw up a few times last night, but I think that may have been related to his fever spiking again. He ate a few bites of toast and a popsicle today without issue.

At least he'll take sips of water and eat little bits of popsicle. But man, he must be starving.

Did you ever talk to the doctor? We were basically told not to come in unless the fever kept up for daysss, or if he went above 104 and kept climbing. But 104 seems to be where he tops out.

Little guy is SO sweaty.

We took him in Wednesday morning after hitting 105 the night before, and we didn't learn anything new. They said come again Friday (today) if he still had a fever. They said not to worry about the not eating, as long as he peed every twelve hours. He has a bunch of swollen lymph nodes that also freaked me out because they feel like marbles, but also deemed normal by doc. Basically, they told us to wait it out. Stinks to see them sick for so long, though:(
