I literally just watched the time change occur, I was up because Max was due for a dose of antibiotics and was up to nurse for the 2nd time. I was sitting in the rocking chair nursing him and watched the clock on the cable box hit 2:00 and immediately jumped to 3:00 I have never been so sad for a time change before:-(
I decided to suck it up and not skip a motn feeding (my husband was happy as he has never done an overnight feeding) but man am I tired.
I put lo down after nursing as he was out (normally he goes right back to sleep) but as soon as I was comfortable in bed he started fussing. I gave him the pacifier which he just repeatedly spit out because he isn't a huge fan of it at night anyway, I tried shushing and rubbing his belly, nothing worked he just looked at me with big wide awake eyes so I'm back in the rocking chair hoping he goes back to sleep soon. He is smiling and cooing at me though so it's hard to mind too much.
I hope the rest of you ladies are getting great sleep tonight!
Edited: typing and sleep deprivation don't mix well
It's been a 2 oz bottle every 1-1.5 hours tonight for LO. She's thrashing around in the PNP and thumping her legs up and down. It's quite loud and startling.
We are up again over here. Lo has been tossing and turning pretty much all night. Her sleep has been so weird lately, and the damn time change makes me lose an hour? Not cool.
I am officially having an allergic reaction to my birth control pills. I've had a rash on my legs ever since starting it and had a nurse I work with (obgyn) look at it and she said it was a reaction to the pill. I'm not sure what I want to do for birth control instead, bummed because the pill has always worked for me
. We are going to try to go to the mall today so I can get some jeans that actually fit, then out to dinner with the in laws. ..hopefully it works out and is not too much for lo. Hope you girls have nice Sundays!
npg1982 oh no! Hope you feel better soon. Stomach problems are awful!
I got up with LO and was so excited she had slept for so long....then I realized we had sprung forward already
Going to look at trading in my impractical FJ cruiser that I love for a Grand Cherokee today! Wanted the 4Runner, but Toyota ticked me off. Bringing Piper along so I hope it goes okay!

Hugs to everyone with: Weird sleep patterns Thrashing babies Being sick DST adjustment.
I'm in a bitchy mood. Most of it is being on my period - my THIRD pp. I'm bitter. But I also have a million research papers to grade. I'm also irrationally angry at my husband. I have about 25. little reasons but nothing specific. What is that interweb phrase about eating crackers?
spikesmom - hope your lo got back to sleep quickly. gldnbearz - I don't see any ads on the Tapatalk app. That is weird. kfaye - ugh to the allergic reaction wildflower810 - that sucks! I had a cold come & go all of Feb & finally got on antibiotics for a sinus infection. I'm finally healthy. Hoping whatever you're getting is short lived. npg1982 - stomach bugs are the WORST! Here's to a speedy recovery! Libby - good luck with the car today! spiraltheory - hope your day gets better!!
I am excited someone is interested in my car. We are taking it to church today to let the person test drive it. I'll be thrilled if they want to buy it AND don't haggle with us on the cost. Downside is the lady emailed me last night so I've got to vacuum it out before we go to church. I don't have time for that
Yes yes yes to hugs for sicknesses, sleepless nights, general feelings of malaise and/or bitchiness, and selling and buying cars! I'm in the sickness and sleepless groups. Poor baby has been congested, but last night she started with the coughing. It's so sad because I know she doesn't know how to get that stuff out, so it just rattles around in her chest. We did the steamy bathroom for a good long while, the nose frida, slept in the rnp for elevation, and I put vicks on her feet (that last one might be an owt but it doesn't hurt so I do it). Is there anything else I can do for baby?
Sounds like we could all use some hugs this morning!
I'm sitting here trying to meal plan for the week so I can get to the grocery store, but I have zero motivation. I hate meal planning, but if I don't do it then we just wind up ordering in/getting take out every day.

zengal I did vicks on my LO's feet too. They do sell a baby vicks, which I bought and used on his chest and at the corners of his nose from time to time. I also bought a wax warmer and was able to find eucalyptus mint scented wax melts (better homes & gardens at walmart) that I left on in his room at night when he was sleeping. I also found a soy candle in the same scent by burt's bees that I would burn in whatever room we were in if he was super nasally sounding.
Libby - we purchased a Grand Cherokee right before LO was born and love it!! I have the car seat in the middle and it has been pretty easy for me to get her in and out and I'm 5'11.
Hugs to those not feeling well and I hope you all got some sleep.
LO went back to sleep after both feedings this morning. Why you can't she do that on a morning where it's just me? She's curled up next to DH in bed and I'm jealous. I have to get the house in order before I go back to work.
We have our city championship basketball tourney today. Hope we win and I don't pass out!
millm0m thank you so much! That helps a lot anything has to be better than the half size suicide doors I'm climbing in and out of using side steps! I'm excited now!

My app has not been working. Anyone else having trouble? It just keeps saying server not connecting. I have been trying to jump on the past few days. What did I miss? :-)

I haven't had trouble connecting with the app, just pesky ads that won't allow me to escape.

Thank you! I'll be looking for the baby vicks and the wax melts! We have a scentsy in her room so that's perfect.

I'm with all the DST haters. Oregon is looking to get rid of it and it can't happen soon enough! I was awake at 1:30 this morning after Pips woke up, and I looked at my cell a short time later and it said 3:30, and I freaked out thinking I'd just stayed up for two hours when I should have been sleeping. It didn't occure to me until this morning on my way to work what had happened. Because I'm that on top of things, lol.
jessa1228, I have the same problem. I never feel like meal planning, but if I don't, DH will have pizza delivered every night. Makes me crazy!
The night before last, Pips' teething kicked into overdrive and she has two little white buds on her bottom gums now. Won't be long and I'll have biter on my hands, lol. I feel so awful for her right now though, she has been getting a low grade fever the past two nights, not to mention she's in a lot of pain, judging by her wailing. I get home from work and she just clings to me and cries. Breaks my heart. But I also secretly love that she wont let anyone but me hold her once I get home.
Happy Sunday everyone! Hugs to all those who aren't getting sleep and who are sick. Daylight savings time officially sucks! On an up note, I took my baby to the nursery at church today and it was a success! So far nobody has watched him besides family. I was very eager to get him after service was over. I got down there and he was asleep . We'll definitely be doing that again!

hjenni - yay For leaving lo in the nursery today. I did the same thing. I work in our church's nursery once a month so I know all the "teachers" pretty well. Plus Dh was on security duty today so he circled by the nursery a few times to check on him.
Also I sold my car!! Yay!!! The lady lives 3 hours away & drove down to test drive it. She made an offer & is meeting us next Saturday to officially purchase it. I'm going to miss my little car but now that I work from home it's pointless to have 2 cars plus DH's company car. I'm excited not to have to play musical cars anymore!
Good luck to all the first days back tomorrow! I'm joining you all Tuesday. Would love to hear some updates about those babes who are starting Daycare! I am very nervous about it!
