I was supposed to be an assistant coach tonight (crossfit), then workout after, but the coach let me workout since it was a partner workout and there was an odd number of people, and I made it even. So I got home an hour earlier than planned, and DH is not home yet with the kids. I am home alone for like an hour, and it is glorious! I want to see my kids, but the lack of chaos for a few minutes is so refreshing. Plus DH is picking up pizza, so double win!

Well, now I feel awful. M's reflux has been getting worse and I've been trying to deal with it on my own. We've had so many sleepless nights that I called the nurses line today. They told me reflux like I'm describing needs to be seen immediately. I feel so bad. He has an appointment tomorrow but with a new doctor because our pedi isn't available and they told me it couldn't wait until Mon.

I think I'm officially broken. I sat bawling last night as I fed LO for every one of his 5 wake ups, because I'm just so damn tired. This whole 1-2 hourly thing is ruining me. And I just don't know how to break him out of the cycle.
Thank god he naps so well. I couldn't do shitty days too, after such horrible nights.
Am being very mindful about my moods etc right now. PPD is on my radar for the first time ever.

Poor guy! What's going on that seems so emergent? At least you can get in tomorrow and he'll have some relief.

I think you need a good night of sleep. Is there any way that your H (or close family member) could make that happen and you pump or do formula for him for the night? I feel for you, mama. You've been struggling for too damn long. Hugs!

I second this! Sleep at a family members house so you can't be bothered and have another family member watch over the baby. Take care of you! ((Craftcrazymama))

He wakes up gagging or with a small cough several times a night and has to nurse to fall back asleep. Now he has a raspy voice. He doesn't have a cold, he just seems to gag on the spit up, then he cries until he can nurse. He is back to sleeping in the rnp which has helped a little. We've always known he had reflux, it just seems more painful.

H just threw up for the first time ever (he's almost 2.5). I was playing with him and started to flip him over and forgot he had just eaten a puree pouch. I stood him upright and apologized but he just looked at me, threw his hands in the air, and yelled "Ta-Da!" LOL
LO caught a bug from DS1. Fever of 102 the past two nights. I've got it too now and I am exhausted. We have been up almost every hour the past 2 nights and I'm having to hold him for naps because he is so congested. My poor baby 😞

The pedi sent in an rx for reflux meds but of course no pharmacy within 30 miles carries them so we have to wait until next week. Hopefully he will get some relief soon though! Thanks for the good thoughts!

Unfortunately LO doesn't take a bottle AT ALL. Not for breastmilk or formula. We keep trying but he's not having it. My DD was the same.
So it is all on me. I do have DH up with me for a few of the feeds but when LO pretty much goes straight back to sleep afterwards there's not too much point. He would get up every time if I asked him to.
Last night ended in an epic meltdown (even before I went to bed) after DH pulled a sulk over absolutely nothing and I was totally pissed off at his dramatics given how dead tired I am and still managing to act mostly pleasant. It was the last straw and just totally broke me down completely so I went from pissed off to pretty overwhelmed and beside myself. I was a little surprised at how low I'd gone, after I'd managed to calm down a bit. I just felt so totally unsupported and alone in that moment.
Sleep deprivation is just bloody evil. No wonder it's used as torture. It's definitely torturing me!!
Going out for dinner and drinks with friends tonight and I'm currently waiting for the bus and feeling free. I instantly feel 10 years younger when I go out without them.
the baby has a nasty rash in his neck rolls. I feel terrible. My husband and mom did most of the care taking last week while i was recovering from my surgery so i didn't see anything until Friday. I started putting aquaphor on which seemed to be working but by Wednesday it was terrible. I think it's from all his drooling and his chubby rolls. I called the nurse and they recommended Lotrimin and to use only cotton bibs. Of course, all of my bibs have the lining to protect the clothes.
on the positive side, he's not bothered by it. It just looks bad.
Fellow mom of a drooly baby with neck rolls here. This happens to MB's neck all the time! It looks terrible. We were told to try A&D, which didn't help. So the pedi recommended Lotrimin. It cleared up ridiculously fast after that! They didn't say anything about bibs to us--I have lined bibs too. So hopefully the Lotrimin is all you need!
We also had a busy weekend. It's been so nice visiting with family and friends and the weather was perfect. Looking forward to a relaxing week with mom cooking and making up for the short naps this weekend.
