It's the freaking weekend

[littleredfish]

DH just took the girls to get groceries and I showered in peace. The rest of my weekend can suck now, and I'd be OK with it.

[yummeecookee]

C actually slept for a 7hr block last night! Only one wake up. So why do I feel exhausted??

[ldubhawksfan]

DD woke up at 5, and kept wajing as I would put her down so I brought her to bed and she slept until 7:45!!!! It felt great to sleep in!

[winogirl]

We had better sleep last night but he's been fighting naps already. We had a great day or and about yesterday though so I'm not feeling too bad about it today

[rachaeleigh]

Baby woke up at 1045, 330, 430, 730.
I feel some sort of success that I left her in the crib at 330. She put herself back to bed. At 1045 and 430 she just came into the bed. I was too tired to deal.
I know I'm reaching my wits end because I just shut the monitor off (she's close enough to our room that I would hear real crying/screaming)

[rachaeleigh]

I'm so obsessed with sleep that I forgot to mention that I already got a workout in AND I'm going to cirque de Soleil tonight!

[colinsfebmommy]

Mine got up at 6 and had no plans of going back to sleep. She was pissy and nothing pleased her unless I would hold her and walk wtf

[whatsit]

I'm gonna kill my sisters dog-

We're dog sitting while she's away this summer and the dog won't stop barking! Woke G up this morning...and keeps pooping in my house.

She owes me.

Cirque de soleil sounds amazing for tonight. I'm jealous but hope you have a wonderful time!!

Is it a date night/ did you get a babysitter?

I never use my monitor at night. I only keep it on during naps or when I first put C to bed and I'm still around the house doing things. His room is next to ours, so if I'm in my bedroom, I will def hear him!
I'm sorry you're getting shitty sleep. I know that story all too well. Myself.

We have a busy weekend. I'm just enjoying a few minutes of quiet time right now and nursing the little one. Today my daughter had soccer, and we are going to a birthday party later this afternoon. Tomorrow is her birthday party. So, I still have to get a few things ready for that. It's fun to be busy though.

[bluesorceress]

It's 1:30 and I'm just now getting my first pump break. I'm just going to say that, as far as fundraisers go, I can't recommend car shows for the faint of heart.

Little man is fighting off a cold and an ear infection, with his top two teeth coming in. It's been a fun few days.

I've been letting him sleep on me in the recliner the last couple days, but I think tonight he should be able to go back in his crib. He took an hour crib nap this morning, so I think he's feeling better.

So far, though, I've mowed, showered, went to my nephews t-Ball game and stopped for lunch. Crazy day.

[yummeecookee]

Omg, both my littles are napping, MH is out running errands. I havent heard this in a loooong time: silence

[Deleted]

L keeps pooping. It's bad. He has pooped more in the last 3 days than he has in the last 3 months. His poor butt is raw now.

I also think he may have an ear infection. He has been crying like he is in pain and he has a low fever. I gave him some Tylenol. Poor guy is in my lap with a death grip on my arm. He seems to need some cuddles.

We had an ok night. Our date day was today. We got lunch and drink, then went mini-golfing. It was fun.

[younglove316]

@babylentilbean poor baby! I hope he feels better soon!

It's date night with friends, yes ILs with the baby!

[littleredfish]

We're visiting DD2's godparents for a BBQ and bonfire with s'mores and I'm stuck in the spare room right now nursing a seriously pissed off baby trying to negotiate her surrender to sleep. Parenthood is so easy...not.

[melimo1315]

Totally forgot about how clingy babies can get at the peak of separation anxiety. The world ends every time I leave his line of vision. It's been horrible this week so I'm thinking this is the end right?!? He won't even let my H put him to bed so maybe I'm really good at making mama's boys hahaha

[littleowl913]

We had a great day at the beach. Tomorrow is ladies brunch! I'm excited for food and mimosas.

[bluesorceress]

11:05 and I'm finally home from working my event(s). Baby is asleep, so I'm pumping because otherwise I'm afraid my boobs would explode like overfilled water balloons. My last pump was a little before 6:00 and the last hour has been pretty uncomfortable.

[rachaeleigh]

Date night out was fun. The cirque show was good; a little more story line and less acrobatics than previous shows that I've seen. DH couldn't go because we had purchased tickets before he started his new job and the schedule didn't work out, but he did meet us all for dinner.

Long story short about the night: I picked the baby out of crib at 1230a waking, rocked her for a bit. I heard her crying again at 130a. I left her in there and then didn't wake until 5 when DHs alarm went off. She then woke up, I fed her and then she woke up screaming at 630. She just screamed at me for minutes until I put her back down to sleep.
Fine baby, I gotta get ready for work anyway. I'd prefer that you stay sleeping, quit screaming at me!

[colinsfebmommy]

I'm starting to fume at H right now. He gets to get up later than me all week long, he gets up for work at like 730. I fucking get up at 530 every morning, get both kids ready for day. You would think he would give me 1 weekend day to sleep. No he just sleeps in both days. Yesterday I was up at 6, today 630. I'm just really starting to resent him and feel a blow up coming on. I feel like I talk and he isn't really listening. Anyone do therapy? I don't know what else to do. Do I go on my own first?

God too much irritation and feeling for 8 am

My sympathies. MH tends to do the same thing. I'm up at the same time he is, if not earlier, every day and I get up at night with the baby while he dozes. He's always the last up on weekends and never offers to check our daughter, change her diaper, or play with her a little but so I can rest a little longer. She never wants to eat first thing, so there's potentially half an hour to an hour there where I could get a break. Then again, I usually take a nap at the same time she gets her morning nap so it's understandable that he thinks I'm plenty rested, even if that's not really the case.

[pearlvirus]

Why do you guys put up with this husband behavior? I would drop the baby on him and walk away. It's time these guys got with the program that child rearing is both parents job!

[yummeecookee]

Hope L feels better @babylentilbean. Can't believe he has another EI

My son is acting same as yours melimo1315. I can't leave him for a second or he's having a meltdown.

I'm going to have my H look in his ear before I take him in for his ears. His fever went down which is a good sign but he is still really fussy.

[Deleted]

My H looked at L's ears. He says they look fine. I guess the low fever, diaper rash, ear pulling, and fussiness is due to teething.

Poor thing, but I'm glad it's probably not an infection
