Thanks guys. He's awake though. After 1.5 hours he's fucking awake. His sleep Is getting worse, not better. Fuck. I can't do this.
melody330 is there any way someone can come and stay with him while you get a full night somewhere to reboot? Or can you go one night in the weekend and YH the other? I worry about you.
You can do this, it won't be forever, but if you could catch a break for a night I bet you'd feel more human.

Thanks, I'm fine during the day but being woken up every hour and a half to a screaming baby is maddening.
I technically could go somewhere for the night....but I'm just not ready for that yet. Thankfully H is wonderful and makes me take a nap or two during the day on the weekends.
DS1 just puked before bedtime. I'm hoping it's just post nasal drip that made him puke, but with my luck we will all have a stomach flu tomorrow!
Noooooo! FX it's just a fluke.
In other news, it's almost time for a new MOTN thread, which is just a depressing reminder that another week has gone by with no sleep progress in my house.

I hate starting a new thread. Eventually it will just be me and you in here wallowing in our shitty babies.

melody330 she's snoring away in our bed right now. Fever is down a bit thankfully. When they said 105.1 degrees at urgent care I almost cried. Thanks for asking!
Well after an hour I got B down, but DS1 was tossing And turning the whole time. I went in there an he's burning up. Gave him Motrin and he's slowly falling back asleep. I won't be able to drift off until I know he's settled though. H is currently snoring away. Idont know how he can sleep knowing ds1 is sick and awake. I guess he knows I've got it covered. Still annoying.
Holy fuck you guys. E slept from 11:15ish to 5:30. How is this even possible? Can it happen everyday please?? He went from 5:45-7:30, had a quick feed and fell back asleep. Now I'm up drinking coffee in peace while everyone sleeps. This is gonna be a good day.
I did have margaritas last night..is the key to sleeping babies margaritas?? 😂😂😂

That's awesome icaughtfire ! FX E does it again tonight!
We did okay. B was only up twice, which is awesome. Just took a while to get back down. DS1 was up for a while just restless. He seems okay now. No puking since the one time before bed.
We've had one 3-hour stretch per night the last couple nights. I guess that's our normal. Its not fair but I'm going to stop complaining about it. At least I feel like I can survive with that, whereas the max 2 hour stretches she gave me earlier this week felt like torture. I feel like at this point I just need to accept it because it's so depressing to be constantly trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong or how I can fix it. I have serious guilt over being 2IF and wanting this baby more than anything, but having so many negative emotions over this and feeling so unhappy all the time. I also feel raging jealousy over babies that sleep better than mine, which is basically almost all of them at this point. I just need it let it all go and just accept this is who she is right now.
One of my fb memories for today is a picture of my sweet baby girl mouthing my coffee cup, with the caption, "no no, coffee is for the sleep deprived mama not the baby who can no longer stay asleep." She was 5 months. Her night sleep had gone to hell, but naps were starting to consolidate. It was a good reminder for me that things get better, then worse, then better, then worse, then better... And you can drive yourself crazy trying to fix it when it's not good.
DS is 11 weeks and night sleep has been mostly good for the last 2 weeks. At 8 - 9 weeks it felt like it would never get better. In the next month or 2 it will all change again and nights could go awry again. We'll adjust and get through it however we need to.
katelou big hugs. I know how depressing it is to feel like you need to figure out what you're doing "wrong". We are doing nothing wrong, our babies are just broken sleepers.
I'm tired of the advice from other people IRL.
I'm trying to change my attitude too. I've caught myself being actually mean to people who ask how B is sleeping.
