MOTN January

[sweetsurprise]

I'm so sorry about the sleep regression ladies. My beef with last night is that DH claimed he wanted for me to get better sleep since I have been doing all of the MOTN feelings. He slept near the baby last night and I was a few rooms away. Well. Guess who had to wake him up twice to get DS because he was crying? There's no way he didn't hear it.

Holy shiz! 4 consecutive hours! FX I get another 4 (only 4am here)!

[erawka]

Anyone else up? DD was up at 1 AM to eat and an hour later has yet to go back down.

[ashie0610]

Just got up for the second time.

Regression friends, saw the pedi today after another inconsolable night of being up every hour last night. They checked his ears and he was fine. BUT, they said he's teething and to try Tylenol. We did half a teaspoon tonight and got a 5 hour stretch for the first time in a week. Just gave him another dose and we will see if that does the trick.

[drsfoughty]

Up for the 2nd time tonight. LO went from sleeping 6-8 hours to waking up every 2-3! Sleep regression?

[itspbjellytime]

Looks like I am the only one in here tonight...I guess I will just serenade myself. *ques music* In the middle of the night, I go walkin in my sleep..

ETA:spelling is SO hard

I'm here lurking behind the shadows. Hoping baby goes back to sleep after this feeding.

[sabby2]

Hi guise. I am calling this feeding MOTN because we are hopefully going back to sleep for a few hours.

M keeps rolling onto his tummy to sleep... it's ok as long as he's string enough to keep doing it himself, right? I hate how anxious I feel when this is a normal milestone and I just keep thinking he's going to suffocate!

That scares me too. Luckily dd hasn't managed to roll all the way over yet. She's do close though. I'm sure they still recommend back sleeping though.

Yeah, M is still having a hard time getting to sleep if his arms aren't swaddled, but I just watched him roll on the monitor so I went in and freed his arms. He's much more restless now, but come on child... you give me no choice!

[munchkin120]

Once DS could roll front to back and back to front then I didn't worry as he could get himself out of the position if necessary. He prefers his tummy to sleep at 19 months still.
But bc I'm paranoid, we have the angelcare monitor for him. And once we transition DD to her crib well move it over for her to use.

I believe the recommendation is to still put them to sleep on their back but if they move to their tummy is ok. But unswaddled, M needs to be able to flip back if needed.

Down at 9, up at 11:30, 1:30, 2:30, 4, 5:30, then up for the day at 7.

So yeah. Donkey child. He's never woken up fewer than 3 times a night.

[sabby2]

Lady's. Where are you?

[itspbjellytime]

Im here for the party...

[sabby2]

*half hearted fist pump*

[munchkin120]

I'm here too, playing pin the tail on the donkey child. Aka. Trying get DD back to sleep.

[itspbjellytime]

I asked my baby, why you fight sleep? She punched me in the boob. Notch is lucky I love her to pieces

[munchkin120]

This is clearly not my child because God knows that mama loves her sleep!!

[itspbjellytime]

And Lady A is down for the count! Mommy wins! I hope you guys get back to bed soon! FX your donkeys get tired soon!! I'll be back in 2 hours!

[sabby2]

Hopefully headed that way soon but dd pooped so we have to change a diaper. Should be fun.

[sabby2]

I am irrationally annoyed with dh. When he changes a diaper he takes the new one and thrashes it through the air to open it up. Have fun getting dd back to sleep after that and don't complain to me about how long it took when she woke up in the MOTN. Why the heck can't you just open a diaper like a normal, non spastic human?

She gets really drowsy after I feed her in the night so you know maybe being gentle would make sense but noooooo wake her up more with your violent thrashing so you can open a damn diaper.

sabby2 My DH did one MOTN feeding and he stomped around like a bull. Freaking idiots lol

[pinkie]

Just as our baby is doing better our toddler is regressing. Fri night was a mess with him up screaming at 1:30 and would not go back to sleep. He wound up in bed with my husband. Thankfully last night was ok because we were all zombies.

I have an old creaky house and I've literally memorized where the creakiest spots are and completely avoid them which means gigantic steps.

I was talking to DH about this recently saying it's hard because I'm short and that I'm surprised at how much noise he makes considering he can easily avoid all the extra noisy spots. His response was something to the fact of "oh I just walk wherever I want and know if she wakes up you'll be able to get her to sleep again." Nice... Really nice.

It's almost midnight and here I am wide awake. The whole house is asleep but me. I'm stressed out and feel like a shitty mom and a shitty girlfriend. I'm ready to quit my job and find something else with less responsibility than what I have now.

Hugs to you. You are an awesome mom and gf. Late at night tends to be tough. I hope you feel better in the morning!

I don't thonk I've gotten a stretch of more than 40min at a time tonight. Between DDs gas pains and semi stuffy nose, she's been crying everytime I put her down. Really hoping for a snow day to catch up on some sleep. Probably won't get one until tomorrow tho. ::yawn::

[kaylajade]

We are out of our reflux med. I can't get any more until Wednesday because our Dr had to cancel our appointment. Cue screaming for the next 2 nights.
