My whole family is asleep and I'm on here. I know as soon as I put my phone down and get comfortable, DD is going to wake up. Decisions, decisions...
Every time I put my phone down ds opens his eyes for a second. I keep wanting to watch Netflix but I feel like as soon as the show starts he'll actually be asleep.
That's usually how it works. I'm going to attempt to sleep. I hope she'll give me an hour.
DH has the nephew over tonight. They did his pinewood derby car for boy scouts. So I'm on my own for feedinfs so of course shes up already. I wanna sleep. I really think tonight when it's just us.... I'm leaving DH to do all feedinfs. Putting ear plugs in and crashing in the extra bedroom. I havent had more than 3-4 hrs in a row for a month. He has. I'm exhausted.
It'd probably be a good spam starter, in fact. Did you get any sleep since I was online last?
Nope, still awake. I was watching Empire with DH. He zonked out on me. Now I'm being sucked dry while being kicked in the stomach.
Confession: I won't allow a TV in our bedroom, nor do I intend to allow TV in our kids' bedrooms, especially now that laptops or tablets can be substituted in special circumstances (like illness when you're stuck in bed all day). But I have a tv in our guest bedroom for visitors.

I wouldn't have ours in our bedroom if we had decent living room furniture. Our couch is so uncomfortable and the chair doesn't recline or have an ottoman. I've been happy to have it in here since I'm home with the baby. We're in a one bedroom apartment. There's not really anywhere else to hang out.
I come to the glider in the nursery for all MOTN feeds. It's more comfortable than staying in bed, and I'm not as afraid of falling asleep. It's probably a good habit for when we move G to his crib, but it feels a little silly to get up & move to nurse.

Sorru your living room furniture sucks. DH and I got a new couch as our Christmas present to each other and it's world's better than the decade+ old thing we had.
Sometimes I think my favorite thing about small town living is having a house not an apartment. It was definitely my fav when I moved back because I had loud college kid neighbors from hell in NoLa.

We're bed-sharing for now. Its so muc easier to just pop a boob in her mouth than to sit up and rearrange pillows.
Me either. DD is a screaming mess. I handed her off to DH. He's about to get punched in the throat if He keeps up with the comments. I've retreated to the bathroom. I think I'll sleep in the living room and let him get up with the baby for the rest of the morning since he wants to be an ass.

I handed him off to Dh yesterday morning thinking I would sleep and somehow ds broke the nipple off the bottle soaking them both, so no sleep. He's currently in dd room so I can't try to pass him off again. So tired but catching up on all the threads!
At this point, it's not about sleep. He thinks he doesn't have to get up with the baby because he works. I try to be nice and let him sleep, but If I ask you to get up and get a bottle, do it. Don't be a jerk by asking why I can't do it myself when I have an inconsolable baby in my arms while you're just lying there. I will cut you mister.
Hoping no one said this already but meetup.Com Should have a bunch
I should have thought of that! Thank you. I feel kinda dumb now.
I was sleeping, not anymore when LO demanded his MOTN feeding.
First MOTN BFing completed. A lot of frustrated hands and head thrashing and nipple shields falling off. But completed. Diaper change was a disaster. He peed as soon as the diaper came off, soiled his clothes. Now he's in the cosleeper wide the f awake.

Add me to the frustrated with DH camp. He bloody sleeps 10 hours a day while I sleep maybe 3 daily. Complained a whole lot when I handed him the baby after dinner. Said he needed a nap. Oh bloody hell, that was my plan too. I put the baby in the cosleeper while he napped so he could deal with the baby when he fussed. I went to pass out on the glider in peace.

This. I am very kind to my DH and he has never helped with a MOTN feeding. I make him very aware of how fortunate he is and to be grateful. Although, some nights I just let LO scream it out for a minute because I am frustrated and I want DH to wake up and see what I deal with. It's cruel but, it's necessary.
I had a breakdown with DH last week. He always says invite my mom over more so you can get stuff done. I explained to him that having his mom come over is not getting him out of dealing with LO when he gets home from work. I made it clear that he needs to deal with LO for at least an hour when he gets home. Not only for my sanity but, hello bond with your own damn child every day!!!
He used to come home and say in a sarcastic tone "looks like you got a lot done today." Argh, that would get my blood boiling especially on days where LO had to be in my arms the entire day. He does not say that anymore since he takes care of LO every night.
DH wanted to weasel out of taking care of the baby this weekend. Told me he's going to take a bike ride with BIL. Every time he goes, he's gone for 6 hours. I told him no and he bitched.
Funny to me that it started pouring late last night and it hasn't stopped since. Forecast says rain all day tomorrow. Welcome to them Washington state.
Finally updated my siggy with DS's age ticker instead of my pregnancy ticker
I did that yesterday! I hadn't been on a desktop to change it. Only took 3 weeks...
I ended up doing it on my phone in Safari on the desktop version of the site. I was trying to figure out how I subscribed to F15 so I could do the same to the BF board. Makes navigation quicker on tapatalk. Didn't figure that part out tho.
