Yawn, Its Monday

[yummeecookee]

How are you all doing today?

[kensie5226]

Meh, it's Monday and I have a dentist appt. My shoulders hurt so much. I'm back to rolling all over the bed and I wind up on my back, side, and face. So my neck and shoulders are so sore. I've tried all pillows and can't figure out a comfy way to sleep.

[yummeecookee]

Have you tried the snoogle kensie5226?
Man, I loved that thing while I was pg.

I'm exhausted. This weekend DD2 and my dad left for a week to go to scout camp. It was exhausting trying to get those two packed and out the door.

L tossed and turned most of the night so even though he was in bed with me I slept like crap.

[kensie5226]

yummeecookee, yeah. I move too much for it and it makes me feel trapped. I'm tempted to just tie myself down b/c when I stay on my back I wake up feeling much better. But, I have a memory foam mattress and with that, the humidity, and BFing I get so so hot. Then I move to find a cooler spot.

Maybe try some stretches during the day and go for a massage. It might help the shoulders feel better and then help you sleep better.

I'm a mess. See my heat wave post last night, but it was so bad that DD and I slept in the basement since we have no AC and her room was registering at 87 degrees. She slept in a pack and play which squeaked, so I woke up a lot, and she was up at 5 this morning. Anyone have any sleep tips for getting them to sleep longer? I'm really missing the extra 2 hrs in the morning! Haha

[rachaeleigh]

Yawn is right.
She was up every hour. I think it's teething pain. Everytime I picked her up, she attacked my face and started biting my chin.
We tried ibuprofen, orajel, and later tylenol. She also wears anot amber teething necklace. I'm exhausted.

I emailed a sleep consultant this morning. I just need someone to tell me what to do to get this boy to sleep like he should. I put face wash in my hair this morning because my brain has ceased being able to function normally.

[winogirl]

hugs all the sleepy mamas.

We slept ok - got up at 4:30 and I tried desperately to get him to just lay on the futon for me for another 30 minutes but it didn't work. lol

Today is my only day at work!! I have the rest of the week off cause the ILs are coming up from TX.

[yummeecookee]

Oh man, that sounds miserable ldubhawksfan. Our house is pretty energy efficient so we try not to turn the air on unless abs necessary. C's room was about 83 last night, so we decided that was high enough and we caved and turned on the air.

[sonpetitlapin]

It is actually not a bad Monday for me for a change. Had a great weekend and I feel wide awake today. D didn't sleep to bad. The past couple of nights he has cut out a night time feeding which has been great. All my older kids were STTN for a long time by this age, this kid. Geesh.

[kensie5226]

Ugh, ldubhawksfan, that's awful!

[sunfrogger88]

Good morning! Pump #2. Nothing new really... Looking forward to a girls night Thursday

[colinsfebmommy]

I hate Mondays, the weekend is way too far away.

[ldubhawksfan]

Oh I also accidentally dyed a bunch of cloth diapers blue last night too. With the heat, the ammonia was terrible after one day, so I added a beach towel with the load.....which apparently hasn't been washed quite enough times.

[kensie5226]

To the dentist! Hopefully it won't take too long and I can bust E out of DC a little early.

[yummeecookee]

My son is doing that in the highchair TwoPeas. He just screeches and screams in between bites. I have no idea what that's about.

[younglove316]

We went to the zoo this morning since my husband is off and it must have been exhausting because both girls are napping now. I need to make a target trip and a run to the grocery store for last minute trip items and then home to pack.

I think at this point I'm just going to buy a ton of stuff from the dollar section because I'd rather have too much stuff than not enough to keep DD1 occupied.

[ldubhawksfan]

TwoPeas yep in So Cal. We have a fan in her rm but it wasn't doing anything.

[fuzzylogic]

E slept fine, it was just getting her to sleep that was the problem! Every Sunday night like clockwork...because most Sundays we spend having dinner with the IL's and I swear it's got to be the over stimulation and change of schedule.

H is playing hooky after a trial went to settlement first thing, so we went out to lunch. When our first choice location was closed because it's Monday and why not, we ended up eating at a rando Cajun place and it was a happy mistake. E loved gnawing on a piece of my blackened (not spicy) chicken and made friends with a table of older ladies a few empty tables away. We watched GoT and Veep and she's napping and we're just hanging out. It's nice.

It's too damn hot to do much else.

[samelly]

I also went to the zoo today. DS reacted to some animals for the first time. There were otters swimming and splashing around and as he watched then move quickly in the water, he kept smiling and squealing. So sweet!

On the other hand, four hours of running around at the zoo failed to tire out my daughter. When we got home, we did some crafts and a couple puzzles. I gave up at 4:30 and gave her the iPad because I need some downtime.

My heart goes out to all my ladies with babies that won't sleep. We're still hit or miss over here, so I feel your pain.

This week is going to be pure hell. Our big fundraiser is this weekend and it's already getting crazy. I'm not working from home at all this week and will be having long days. The whole mess goes on from Thursday through Saturday and on Wednesday we have a luncheon to support a local hospice and a small dinner to benefit our scholarship program. The main event is a vintage car and boat show on Saturday, with lots of events for the exhibitors on Thursday and Friday, including a beer and wine tasting event that we expect to get about a thousand people on top of our exhibitors.

I never look forward to this week, but I have a feeling that this year is going to be worse. My baby is going to be so bent about the disruption to her schedule, and I'm already feeling like I'm not getting enough time with her. Ugh. I'll see you all on the other side if I survive.

[sunfrogger88]

bluesorceress you can do it!

[sunfrogger88]

We only took one nap today but went to bed at our normal time. Let's see what tomorrow brings.

Dinner made, baby in bed, all by 730. I'm a fan.

Maybe. Thank you for the vote of confidence. I need all the help I can get in that regard.

Bad sleep club here too. Going on week 5 of shitty sleep. Friday night after a day at the beach baby slept 7:30-5:30 had a bottle then back to sleep until 7:30. Last night up crying every 10 mins. Chipper beyond belief though all day. Finally pried his mouth open. Teeth 3-6 coming in, 2 upper and 2 lower. Please send help hahahaha

Tough start to tonight but fingers crossed. He's already surpassed last night as far as length between wake ups

So many hugs to you. This sounds like our Sunday night
Why are they happy during the day though?!
Don't get me wrong, I don't want a crabby baby during the day...just wondering how it all goes south at night
