It's 12:30 AM on Monday. Share your "ransoms" with me.
...When you wake up to the sweet tinkling sounds of your angelic children laughing as you're feeling freshly rested at a nice, luxurious hour of the morning, that is.

Bud fell asleep on my chest as I was burping him and I don't have the heart to put him back in the crib right away so I'm here catching up on TCF and smelling his hair like a creepy mom.

Chase was up a few times between 8 and 10, then was up to nurse at 4:30. This after a 12 hour night straight through... I know one abnormal night isn't enough to call it, but I'm wondering if we're entering regression territory.
He's also super gassy, which is fun. Who needs to breathe anyway?

E's new nighttime routine is up every 2 hours. Last night I was so tired I fell asleep for 2.5 hours sitting up/lounging in bed while nursing her. At least it saved me a wake up? Lol

The universe is punishing me for having a newborn that slept. K no longer sleeps. For the last week she's been getting up at least every hour. Then when she's up she only wants to be held, in my arms, because slings are evil now?
Im getting the Merlin and this shit better work before mh and I both lose our minds.
Sleep regressions are the devil. A has been up every 40 minutes or less all night long for the past 2 nights. I'm barely forming coherent sentences over here.
J had a little cold- she was bad on Saturday. All sniffly, sneezing because her nose was so snotty, and ended up with a low grade fever. She slept so well Saturday night- she got up once to eat, then after I thought she was up for the day she went back to sleep a half hour later for 2 hours. Of course I didn't get to enjoy her extra sleeping because I was working for a few hours in the middle of the night. She's still got some residual nose goo but it's all clear and easily coming out with the frida.

Every 40 minutes!?! I thought every 1-2 hours was bad. I hear you though I wake up in the morning and feel naseous I'm so tired. Then at bedtime I feel anxious because of what is to come.

Yeah, it's horrible. I cry in the MOTN. and then she takes a 3 hour nap during the day, so I know she can do it.

Obviously I don't want anyone to feel as crappy as I do, but it does help a little bit to feel validated that I'm not just being a terrible mom that it takes every ounce of my being not too lose my mind every exhausting morning from teething and sleep regression. Why did I think snuggling was a good idea? I've been in fussy, cranky hell this AM and never got back to sleep. If I don't stop doing this shit I might actually pass out sometime instead of just feeling woozy.

J was up every two hours and is refusing to nap this morning.
I need a break. I've literally been away from him 3 times for no more than a couple of hours. DH usually takes him more on the weekends so I can pump and shower alone. He failed at even that this weekend. By the end of the week I'll be totally fried and touched out and he'll wonder why.

I went to grab my shoes and couldn't find them. I asked Isaac if he hid Mommy's shoes. He said yes and showed me where he had each shoe hidden. One under the couch and one in his cardboard rocket ship. Then I found some cheerios and banana in my shoes. Happy Monday lol.

You didn't get to even shower alone this weekend and your H was free? How are you being polite about this? I hope your H is seriously in the doghouse for that.

I remember that with DS1, it was a huge part of why I was convinced we were OAD until he was almost a year old!
I'm planning to get DH much more involved this time around as soon as he starts with the multiple wake-ups. He's already helping on the nights DS2 wakes repeatedly in the hour or 2 after bedtime, and it makes me feel so much less alone in dealing with it.

He was doing yard work. He always finds "just one more thing" and it ends up taking hours or like yesterday the whole damn day. He's appreciative of everything I do, but at the same time he doesn't seem to understand that I need some alone time. At the same time I feel guilty asking him to do anything because he has been working 50-60 hour weeks.

DH is more than willing to help, but it's just faster and easier for me to nurse her back to sleep. If he tries to get her back down, it's an hour of fussing/crying and I usually have to nurse her anyway. It takes me 10-15 minutes. I usually give her to him after 5:30 or so and try to get a couple of hours, but of course DS has been waking up super early this weekend and it just hasn't worked out. I'm hoping I can get all 4 kids to nap at the same time today and close my eyes for a few minutes.

This is all us too. DH usually runs the bedtime routine for dd1 while I work on getting E to bed. Then I join them for whatever I can. Then we both takes turns either going to give E back her paci or go see what dd1 is asking for.
Night wake ups there's no point in him dealing because she's in our room and it'll keep me up anyhow and take longer since he'd have to go get a bottle. Luckily he gets up with dd1 every morning so I can sleep in a bit if E is still sleeping, or I just lay in bed with her doozing while she babbles to herself for 30 minutes.

This is one of these times where i would walk up to MH, hand him the baby, and walk the fuck away.
MH works a lot too, but we tag team, especially night wake ups. I had to have 45 minutes to do an assessment for a job I applied for yesterday and made sure he knew i wasn't supposed to be disturbed unless she was literally dying.

I need to have MH read this thread so he can see that this is typical 4 month behavior. He texted me a few minutes ago that he was looking up ways to make K sleep better and he found some source that said to take away the binkie. HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA ok. Yeah. Let's take away her one fn comfort item she is allowed to sleep with and hope she sleeps better.

xxkimmy8xx - Do you use Enfamil or Similac formula? BRU is having a promotion for the next few days where if you buy $50 in Similac products you get a $15 GC. Of course you can't use the GC on the first purchase, but on subsequent transactions the Alimentum only costs $22.49/can. And it's the 16 oz can, not the dinky 12 oz can they carry at Target.

I feel like this is an appropriate place for a "Bless his heart."
