Treat yo self: Sunday Randoms

[grumpycat88]

I love Parks and Rec. Happy day before Monday. And go!

[Looney]

Did my baby really just sleep from 9-3:30?!! We should have parties more often.

[grommom]

Dh told his sister that lo sleeps through the night. Not true, dh sleeps through the night while I nurse and change the baby as quietly as possible. Granted I get long stretches but certainly not over 5 hours. No wonder I have my bags packed (under my eyes that is)
Lol

[laceysbryan]

My mom goes back home this afternoon and I'll be sad to see her go. It's nice having someone around who understands the struggles that can come with breastfeeding and how hard it can be to take care of an infant all day. And she has been changing a lot of diapers.

My mom and I had a really rocky relationship when I was a teenager, but I was kind of a train wreck back then and didn't have healthy relationships with anyone. After I got my act together we became, and have stayed, super close. I'll always be a mama's girl.

Ds and dd both fell asleep around 8 tonight:...and he didn't wake up again until 1....amazing! I feel so well rested at 4 am and he's not up right now but I woke up feeling swollen so I'm pumping and hoping he either wakes up while I'm still up or that he sleeps til like 6 at least so I can rest a little more once I'm done. I could seriously get used to this! (And I deserve the rest after how they acted yesterday when dh was at work!)

[4littlebears]

I am so fuming mad at H! He just LET our 3 year old into our bed. She came in loud as hell, waking up S, and he did nothing. Why? Because he says he didn't even wake up. But yet he was the one to lift her into bed. Now I'm up waiting for S to decide if he's going to fully wake up when I should be sleeping right now. I haven't slept in a fucking month and he's the one So tired the screaming 3 yo doesn't wake him? Bull shit. I'm pissed

[littlelion]

Fed baby at 2 am and almost 2 hrs later I still cant fall back asleep. And stinky husband is asking for a back massage. Tomorrow may have to be a Starbucks day. With something chocolatey. Like a choc croissant. Or maybe that bavarian donut at DD. Someones hungry.

[Deleted]

Owen slept for two 3 hour stretches. Which is an improvement from the recent regression to 2 hours overnight I suppose. Uber jealous of those with LOs sleeping for 5+ hours, but I'd have to get up to pump anyway.

I am pumping right now and it's not bad....I actually have some time to myself and its quiet!

I'm going to try to get to the gym again today, which will make three times this week. Tomorrow my "diet" (which is really just eating better and not relying on whatever I can one-handedly stuff in my mouth for sustenance) starts. I'll be using My Fitness Pal again. I had a lot of success with that before.

[pleirey]

Pardon me lady hens, but how does one add photos to the siggy? I checked the pro boards FAQs but found nada. I suppose I could Google it, but I like you all better.

[Deleted]

Ugh. Either this is the three week growth spurt or three week sleep regression. Either way, I no like. Need sleep... Zzzz

[happymonkey]

1) I like this place so far.

2) How the heck do I put a picture in my signature? It might be the sleep deprivation, but I can't figure it out at the moment.

Ha! I just saw this. After I posted the same question.

We just got through that one.  There were many tears of exhausted frustration.  And naps while DS was at PM Kindergarten. TBH, I skipped showering to nap several days last week. It was worth it!

4littlebears, sorry about your H and the sleeping situation.

DH and I have an ongoing disagreement because he thinks DS1's bedtime should be 10, and I think 9. We compromised at 9:30, but last night when I tried to put him to bed at 9:30, DH said, "No, you can stay up and play a little longer." So I said, "Fine, I'm going to bed, and you can put him to bed by yourself." Then at 10:00, he was banging on a freaking drum. WTF? So then I went and said that he needed to go to bed, but if not, it was quiet time. We have to get up early today, so I don't know why DH insists on putting him to bed so late. He originally said, "If we put him to bed later, he'll sleep later in the morning," but we've found that to be false.

[ahayden1230]

I'm annoyed with my H!! I'm tired of listening to hkm snore a might while I feed our son every 1.5 hours. It's so annoying sometimes I want to tell him to go sleep somehere else!!

[FiliaRitae]

LO fed every 40 minutes or so until 1:30 last night, and I was about to meltdown (would not be the first time) because he'd had a comparatively good sleep the night before. Then he finally passed out for two three-ish hour stretches, waking up just in time each time that I didn't have to wrestle to see those lovely eyes. AND he finally had a really full poop diaper, which is pretty exciting when he'd stopped pooping completely for several days (he's 10 days old now). Hopefully I'll get another three-hour stretch right now. Mama needs her sleep so desperately. And never thought she would be so excited to see a big old poopy diaper.

[kellimark]

It's 5 and lo has to poop but it hasn't happened yet. We were up 2 hrs ago to eat. Like you couldn't poop then?
I'm afraid DS will be up in 2 hrs so prob not going back to sleep.

[ladyprof]

Super false for kids that going to bed later makes them sleep later.

So tired of waking Little Miss up to eat. Hope she is up in her weight tomorrow so we can let her sleep at night.

[happymonkey]

The default profile pic is really creepy.

Go to your profile, click "edit profile" then "Personal" and scroll down until you see "signature". I used *!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*! just like in TB and pasted the link.

[milagros315]

My right boob hurts and I'm exhausted. I was planning to start pilates today, but instead I think I need a DD iced coffee and a cookie dough donut.

[babyw15]

N got up with H this morning and I didn't even have to ask him!!! Now time to take a long needed shower!

We used to let ds1 stay up that late before dd1 was born. His bedtime got earlier when he started preschool too.

H ended up sleeping on the couch because I yelled at him, but at least he got the bottle for S' enzyme drops and fed it to him. But did he clean the bottle or even put the drops back in the fridge? Nope. It isn't looking good that we'll make it to 9am church and I really don't like going later I feel like we lose a lot of the day then.

[alfiesMOM]

Pretty jealous of you all getting long stretches! We are lucky if we get one three hour!!

In other news it's going to be 60 here today I can't wait to do something outside!!

[britb618]

So tdi sent a letter that it will take another three weeks to get benefits- pissed bc website says 7-10 days which I relied on when I told my boss I only needed two paychecks and the Tdi would kick in- my husband is freaking out and saying this is why he needs to work ot-
Well dude I still haven't recovered from surgery and your damn mom isn't helping out so unless you want a psycho (me) watching your kid when your gone for 16 hours only to come home to sleep and not help out and the do it again....be my guest. Honestly If we don't have money in our jt account to hold us over for Three weeks then my husband is dead to begin with- where the f is all the money dude? And pluso when he wanted to go away in May I said I couldn't be outta work that long and he said, 'we can cover no paycheck for two weeks...' Sooo when you wanna go on a boys trip we can cover two weeks but when tdi is late we can't....?

[3littleones]

I took one stool softener Friday night and Beau has been pooping every feeding since. Has exploded two diapers. Apparently even though he was pooping once a day he wanted to go more.

[hazelnut]

4littlebears You should cut your husband some slack. Having a new baby in the house is so exhausting for a man! Total sarcasm there if you didn't catch it. My husband is ridiculous, too. Sleeps through everything AND he takes an afternoon nap because he's just soooo tired. I haven't slept in a month and a half, or hell, more than that if you count pregnancy, but he's the one complaining. He's been getting mad that I won't snuggle at night. I get too hot to snuggle and sleep, and he gets mad that when I have to choose, I choose sleep. He really doesn't get it.

[edvent]

Morning ladies! I have been lurking a while but finally decided to cross over (same SN new avatar). My LO wakes once a night and DH offered to get up with him last night so I could get a longer stretch of sleep. I'm EPing and it's not going great so I decided just to not pump in the night last night. All was well until out almost 2 year old woke up screaming while DH was feeding LO so I had to get up to settle her down. Oh well, we'll all sleep one day I suppose. And I really can't complain because this LO is 100 times easier and a better sleeper than DD ever was!!

On another note, anyone else still having fing night sweats? LO was a month old yesterday and I'm still waking up drenched most nights... So over it!

[LaBellaVida]

I'm happy to see a few of our regulars posting again. This makes me happy. Stick around more ladies!

My H has been so great lately. He's really stepping up taking care of Owen. He's slept for days now with Owen in his room, on the tiny toddler bed.
He hasn't complained either.

Maybe he'll get up soon and make breakfast. I'm starving.
..... wishful thinking.

He mentioned taking the kids to OMSI today. Not sure if I'll go. I may just stay home with Liam. I want peace and quiet.

[grumpycat88]

I feel so bad for DH right now. He got up to do the 630 feeding with LO and the dictator has yet to go back to sleep except for short times. I think we got an almost four hour stretch though. This kid needs to start sleeping better. Mommy and daddy are tired.
