Uggh the baby is still sick. He was awake from 2-5 overnight and that was miserable. He is having very bad poops. I'm torn over going to the ped. I'm concerned if he could have something else going on (ear infection) but really doesn't show any signs of it. I hate to go for nothing (I.e to pay to be told it's just a virus).
Maybe give it another day then go. I feel same way and kept saying its a cold they can't do anything. And at her well visit she had a bad double ear infection..I felt terrible!
Edit say your update..glad you are taking him in today!
Yeah he's supposed to die last season in the book. I think? And everyone threw a shit fit and they deviated from killing him off. I feel like they're going to kill Ser Jorah too. I want cersei to die already. I hate that bitch. But she needs to see her brother helping Khaleesi first. Then die. Lol I like Margaery. I'm upset that AGAIN Cersei is going to get someone killed by being a deviant whore. Yeah we were talking about Bran last night too H goes ok did he get killed off and I missed that??? I go uhm no...because I missed that too then.
I feel like Cersei will never die because everyone hates her too much and we'd all get too much satisfaction out of it. She's the perfect villain. I'm worried about Jorah with his Greyscale, unless they find some way to save him like they did Stannis's daughter. As for Bran, I've heard GRRM hasn't even finished writing his storyline, which is why he hasn't been in this season at all.
well that would explain why I can't figure it out because the fucking writer doesn't even know where it's going! I also love Arya but I can't figure out where that's going either. And you can always hate the douche that Sansa married. He's pretty vile. Although I do enjoy watching Cersei eat crow
so last night I attempted to let DD do a little crying but she LOST HER SHIT. SCREAMING like someone's pinching her. It was insane! She was all sorts of messed up yesterday.

Sounds normal. She's not used to crying and you not coming. This is why everyone says they can't stand to hear their LO crying. It's hard BUT I feel it's necessary at some point. It worked super well for my kids and I didn't have to leave them for long periods of time. Gotta do what you are most comfortable with though. It will NOT scar her for life, I promise

well I've let her cry a time or two but last night was like a weird wailing/yelling scream. It was weird. I was attempting the standing there to calm her down and I went to blow my nose and she screamed. I was like wtf kid? She was really off last night. Probably all the food I shoved down her throat ;-) But a lot of times she will do a fuss sort of thing for 5-10 minutes and then pass out.

They're saying that eventually the show will spoil the books. GRRM has given the show writers an outline of the end of the series. I fucking love Sansa. Hated her in the beginning but it's great watching her become a real person.

Yeah she started out as a total dipshit but now she's getting smarter. Supposedly the series is awesome.

DS sounded like he was dying - I had never heard him scream like that. I mean it was the worst thing in the world to hear. I hate even thinking of it. My friends who had done CIO told me to expect that and the pedi had said that screaming like that was normal. It doesn't matter how much you hear that it's 'normal' it still makes you feel like total crap. I'm not over it.

ughhh. Ok in a couple weeks tell me if you'd do it again. I'm thinking about it. I honestly dont have any problems with her falling asleep though it's the waking up to eat. She's a lazy eater. This is probably wishful thinking but I'm thinking that weaning is going to help this. I know that's stupid and all heresay and wishful thinking but I genuinely feel like if it's easier to eat more that she will go ahead and just pound more food in one sitting. Does that make sense?

Weaning did not help me. I hope it helps you, but Q is a snacker and he still wakes up a million times a night. He does not and never has pounded food. Unfortunately. I wish I could force him to drink 8oz, but I can't.

I can't wait to see where the storyline with Sansa goes. She's definitely becoming one of my favorite characters.

That screaming is exactly why I failed at my attempt to do CIO. After the second night she ended up with a hoarse little voice from screaming so loud. That's when I called it quits.

I'm sorry it was so traumatic for you
Maybe I'm mean but I can forget it once she's asleep. Sure it's hard to hear DD cry, so instead of sitting around listening, I do some dishes, a few other chores around the house, then check on her. Maybe it's because I already went through this with DS but it doesn't phase me at all. I know that she is fine and just needs to go to sleep.

honestly I don't know why I can't just do it. Sometimes I do let it go for a while but. I dont know. I'm a wiener. I've said I'm a wiener. I know daycare does it every day at nap time. Boom an hour and a half nap. So there's something to it obviously. I know for sweetsurprise she said he cried for an hour or two. That would fucking suck

I never had issues with DS initially falling asleep either - as long as I rocked him into deep sleep. But per the advice of others, I am putting him down while he's drowsy but awake so he will know where he is at when he wakes up in the night.
I hope weaning helps you. CIO really is not a fun process at all. But if a few nights of crying saves years of MOTN wake ups it will be worth it. That's what I keep telling myself. If I knew that magically when DS turned a certain age he would naturally go to sleep on his own I would have undoubtedly kept rocking him. However, I know many parents with 2-3 year olds who still can't sleep through the night.
I would just say that you should not try CIO unless you and your H can commit to being consistent. Make your plan in advance (what intervals you will go in, how long you will try CIO) and stick with it. Otherwise your babe has cried for nothing. We decided to try this for 7 days.
I will definitely update you (whether you like it or not).

I'm a HUGE wiener. 10 seconds of crying is 10 seconds too many. I wish I could tune it out but I watch the monitor like a hawk (on silent).

Consistency is a big reason why I probably won't ever really do CIO. I am not patient in the middle of the night. I don't have the willpower to not just grab him and take him upstairs. Plus, his room is right by my parents' and brother's rooms, and they need to sleep and it's just not a situation where things would work out. My kid will be in my bed until he's 12. I do want to work on getting him to stay in his crib all night, though. I'll work on that when my parents are out of town at the end of the month.

Yeahhhhhh. That's much more complicated.
I wish we could have a magic wand to let these babies understand the magic of sleep! It's so silly that babies hate sleep and it's all we want!

F has actually been in her crib all night. so FUCK YEAH! But she still wakes up AT LEAST once. I'm not entirely convinced she's not hungry. She eats and passes out again. sometimes the paci pop works. sometimes it does not.
I still haven't gotten around to really letting DD cry yet. Anytime she has fallen asleep after crying a lot she sniffles all night long and it's heartbreaking. I know it won't scar her for life and I kind of want to give it a go but I hate to hear her sounding so miserable and that damn sniffle sniffle gets me every time!
My other concern, which might be a bit unnecessary, is that I don't want my neighbors to hear her and think we're horrible parents. I never hear my neighbors in my apartment so they probably can't hear us either but it makes me a little in easy all the same. I mean, she gets so loud I feel like someone has to be able to hear it.
I just worry that my kid has no idea how to fall asleep on her own. She gets so worked up when she's tired but she just won't go to sleep without nursing/bottle feeding and/or rocking and/or singing. We even sing to her in the car sometimes. So for me it's not even about getting more sleep (though that would be nice) it's about my kid learning to go to sleep and stay asleep when she's tired. I've never spent the night away from her but someday I will and I want her to be OK.

I always say I don't see how it's evolutionarily sustainable for babies to not get the sleep is good. They should have this figured out by now!

If it makes you feel better, I know a lot of people say their kids STTN for someone else before they do it for them. DS STTN for my ILs and wakes up 100 times a night for me. So he's capable, he just knows when Mommy's around.

That's another thing. DS snacked on the boob, and he snacks on the bottle. He NEVER takes more than 5oz EVER. I wish he'd chug an 8oz bottle before bed. So I'm not always sure that he's not hungry. The paci pop works maybe half the time. If I don't feed him, neither of us will sleep.

yes. I dont understand how to get them to eat that during the day without essentially them going hungry at night. It makes me feel like a dick...

I just feel like making them go hungry at night equals some terrible sleep. WHAT IS THE SOLUTION?

DD snacks on her daytime bottles but chugs 11 oz (the max I can fill her bottle) before bed. It's insane. I'm waiting for it to come spraying back out of her mouth when she's done but she passes the F out.
