It's Finally Wednesday (Randoms 7/20)

[westiemom]

This week is going by so slowly!

It's my dad's birthday today. We won't celebrate until the weekend though. DD and I have no plans today for the first day in forever! I am thinking we will just stay home and relax and play.

[teraiin]

It's such a nice feeling to not have anything going on!

The night before DDs surgery and I have been up with baby three times already. That's what I get for staying up late.

This happens to me every time I stay up late!

I got my IUD put in yesterday. Had a little bit of cramping yesterday but feel normal today. But I am bleeding - boo! Hope that new quickly!

[mrsw062610]

T-15 min til DH leaves for work and takes DD to daycare. Yay.
And DS is asleep on me so I'm going to try to put him down and maybe just maybe I can enjoy my cup of coffee in peace. Maybe.

I really want to go back to sleep but I have so much to do ... We leave for my parents on Saturday and I feel like I'll never get everything done by then

[k3am]

I feel like crap. I actually took my temperature expecting to have a fever, but it's 96.5. Which is so weird. Do not want to parent today.

[CattyNattyRN]

twocents6708 I'll be praying for an easy surgery!!

[CattyNattyRN]

DS is coming to class with me today, 9-5 due to my MIL being out of town and no one I trust being available...
FX he's as good as he normally is and that I can BF in public!! I pump in class all the time, but somehow BFing seems so much more.. Personal? Idk. I'm just worried how the day is going to go.

I hope you feel better soon! Parenting when sick sucks!

[westiemom]

I'm more tired now with some sleep than when DD was a newborn and I got no sleep. I have no idea what's wrong with me!

I keep telling my H that too.. Like maybe all the "new" is wearing off and we are finally realizing just how exhausted we really are. DS slept 7 hours in a row last night, then went to bed for another 2, and yet.. I'm STILL tired!!

[mrsw26]

DS had a great night last night. We switched bottles and he finally drank all his milk while I was at work for the first time ever! He wasn't cranky or fussy at all and we actually got some alone time on the couch before going up to bed. Of course DH's comment was "See? We could totally have another one!" One good night and you want another kid? HOW BOUT NO. Also lay off the drugs.

I'm the same way. Actually with this last schedule change he's now waking up during one of my deep sleep cycles. I'm so groggy and out of it, and even though I go back to sleep for a few hours after the wake up, I'm still ridiculously tired in the morning.

I was doing good while E was sleeping 9-2 for a couple weeks. Now we're back to every 2 hours... Soooo tired.

Ac repair guy can't come until tomorrow. We are spending the afternoon at a friend, but tonight (and last night) will suck. It is way too hot too swaddle, even with fans on. So E is cosleeping so we get a little bit if sleep, but noone rests well this way. It's going to be 98F today.

No more adrenaline left in my body maybe?

+2! Definitely more tired with 4-5 hrs/day than I was on less than that. I agree that it's the loss of adrenaline rush

This girl is not into sleeping at night the last few days. Last night she woke up at 2 (actually she was whining earlier than that but I ignored her til 2). Then didn't go down again til 4:30. Up again at 7. Trying to put her (& myself) down for an AM nap but she's fighting it. According to wonder weeks this could happen around 8w (she's actually 7w but she,was born 10 days past her due date) - just waiting for this sleep regression to pass!

[westiemom]

CattyNattyRN sosayweall teraiin @ wanderlust508 I'm glad I'm not alone!

Also, wanderlust, we dealt with the no sleep thing hard core at week 8! Hang in there!

aaemommy I think that's happening to me too! I'm literally falling asleep feeding her at 5am!

PAruby525 that's hell!

Lately, I have let DD nap on me for her am nap. She turned 3 mos old today and I'm scared of habits so she is officially napping in her crib and it's going well! I'm going to try for two long crib naps a day and an evening cat nap on me (I can't give up all my cuddles).

[annarose]

I hate being the on time friend when meeting up. Especially when there is a baby traveling in the car involved.

[walkek85]

Ugh, last night sucked. I hate the nights that DS2 is wide awake and will just not go to sleep. It gets to the point that I just want to go to sleep because I'm so tired so I start to lose my shit. I scared DS2 last night because I unswaddled him rather 'briskly' out of frustration and I felt so bad. He cried so hard. Again, mom of the year over here.

I think tonight I will try to put him down after DS1 goes to bed and then offer a dream feed in hopes that he sleeps longer.

[ellesea]

I hope all you tired ladies and non sleeping babies can get some sleep soon!

Ds2 is currently napping in the cradle, his second cradle nap today and its only noon. His first one was less than an hour though, I'm pretty sure he woke up because he was hungry because my boobs don't work anymore.

Ds1 and I are enjoying a peaceful lunch!

[k3am]

The escape proof swaddle got him to sleep peacefully for a while. It's just such a PITA.

I'm feeling a little better after breakfast at least. But pumped half as much as normal, so hopefully he's not going to be starving tostada
