Last night was ever so slightly better (don't worry friends, we are not doing too well so we are still part of the MOTN club). But a huge win is we said bye to the MM Suit. So we are in just a sleep sack and hopefully moving in the right direction sleep-wise.
rungirlrun it's my goal next week to get HK out of the sleep suit at night. DC still swaddles her for naps so I've started doing that on the weekends but I want the sleep suit gone before we have to size up lol

Good luck! E started unzipping it himself and trying to get out of it while screaming causing it to rub against his chin and irritate him (and his sleep has been crap) so we figured it was stupid to keep him in it. I'll pass it on to another desperate family!
I put Sam down over an hour ago. We're downstairs and I can here him kicking in his crib. Every now and then he'll let out a couple whines but aside from that he's just happily kicking away. GO TO SLEEP CHILD.
We are of course having the worst night we've had in a while. Tried getting Sam down over an hour ago and out of nowhere he started screaming like he's in pain so he just had Tylenol and I'm nursing again hoping it knocks him out. I wish a tooth would pop out just so I could have something to blame for his constant crying all the time.

LT for commiseration. B will do that at bedtime sometimes. I have to stand up and nurse him or he won't calm down. Sometimes even that doesn't help. Hopefully he's out cold and the Tylenol does the trick
No Christmas miracle here either. He woke up screaming, and when I picked him up he let out a giant man fart. He's super gassy tonight. He's pooped three times this week- which is totally unlike him. He usually only poops once a week or so. His little booty has a nasty rash

I have to do the same nursing standing move with Sam every now and then, stubborn babies! He just started crying again 😥 I just want to enjoy some quiet time watching The Office with H, is that too much to ask? Sorry you're having a rough night too. Poor B, diaper rashes must be so uncomfortable! Hopefully it clears up quickly.
DH and I just got into a huge fight MOTN that basically ended with him saying "you're never here (therefore I know nothing) you are a food source, that's it." Merry fucking Christmas.
Ray WTAF? I'm so sorry you guys fought, especially tonight. I'm sure emotions were high and he will apologize when he calms down.
Are you alright?
I just feel like I need today this. You are so much more than JUST a food source. You are a wonderful mother.
Thank you - I'm fine. I know he's just being an asshole. It stings because I have a lot of guilt about going back to work, and being "Mme. Ray" for more of the day then I'm "mom".
He's just an absolute dick when he gets woken up at night. He needs to get over it. I even turn off the monitor when I go in to try and prevent him being woken up too. But last night he woke up and then freaked out when he saw I was holding flint to calm him instead of just replacing soother. Whatever.
Regardless of what kind of a mood he wakes up in Flint and I are going N to have a good Christmas.
Ray what a terrible thing to say, I'm sorry. Had he been drinking? Not that that's any excuse at all to say something so rude. You're a great mother to Flint and your stepkids and are definitely not just a food source. I hope that he apologizes to you so that you all can try to have a nice Christmas.
Sam's first stretch after attempting to stay up all night partying was four hours which got me excited thinking maybe tonight would be the one wake up night I'd been waiting so long for! Nooope, 1.5 hours later here we are. Didn't even make it the usual 2. Dang it!
I'm pretty sure I slept for about an hour last night. I couldn't fall asleep initially (too excited about Santa I guess!), then E woke up 4 times, and DS1 woke up at least 4 times for no reason. He'd wake up about 5 minutes after I fell asleep. Being cheery for Christmas is going to be rough.
He woke up and said "smile, it's Christmas!" Kind of jokingly then asked why I was so upset so I told him and he apologized and said it was a crappy think to say (no shit). We're up for the day. DH is playing video games and I'm feeding flint drinking a mocha
