Been a little behind on here being back at work. Happy birthday bocaburger!
Ds has had a small red, dry patch on his cheek. Regular lotion isn't helping, I was wondering if I should put a little diaper cream on it or something?

Ugh, MH had a guys night last night and just got home. Of course guys night has to involve getting drunk and staying up basically all night, so he'll be useless today. To say I'm pissed that he can't act like a grown up is an understatement.

Aquaphor usually clears up things like that for my girls. It makes their face greasy, but it helps.

My patience with this shit is at zero. My husband gets to go out to dinner and have as many drinks as he wants. Me? Oh, I can drink but I better be able to get up twice in the night and take care of the baby the whole next day.
I ...may be projecting my feelings on to your situation a little bit. But! Solidarity!
Chocolate chips with almonds or pecans make my favorite BFing snack.
How often are you guys with 2 mo. feeding? DD3 is not taking full feedings at a 2 hour interval, or even 2.5. But at a 3 hour interval her night long stretch disappears. I can't figure her out right now. Not sure if her night issues are just overtiredness or hunger.

Totally not projecting and I totally feel the same way. He got home when I was up to feed her and was clearly drunk (his friend dropped him off so he didn't drive himself). When she woke up again I changed her diaper and clothes with him snoring away. My guess is he'll sleep until noon... It's annoying because I don't want him to sleep, but I also don't want him taking care of her still drunk.

H knows the only thing keeping him from helping with over night wakeups is working the next day. Even if he goes out drinking on the weekend, I'm waking his ass up for at least one of the wakeups.

Feeling like such a failure today. DD3 and I went to a baby shower. A mom of a7 week old asked me,"one wake up, or two?" Last night was 5, thanks. Sleep is slipping away again. As I bounced my overtired kid another said, "Oh my first was like that, but my second was such an angel and would sleep any time, anywhere." Oh, OK. This one is actually my *good* sleeper. I wish I knew what I did wrong.
At least I have these sweet girls, even if I can't help them sleep as little bits.

This made me so sad to read. You are NOT a failure. F that chick.

TP to those moms. I had a meltdown and mom guilt today too over lack of sleep. Sad part is my DS does sleep..on me. And I keep trying to make him sleep by himself and then making him not sleep. These babies are hard. If DS was my first I'd think he was a great sleeper bc my DD was a unicorn. I need to stop comparing him to her. But I do count down to a time when he'll sleep better...like before I return to work.
Why is putting the laundry away the worst job ever?? (Oh, am I giving away how exciting my night is?)
It's why DH basically lives out of the laundry basket until I start stacking baskets in top of each other. I give him 2 weeks to put away and then start the stack.

steph are those cupcakes topped with mini donuts???
We barely got the babies down for bed at 11:30. We started trying around 8:30 (earlier than usual because G was super fussy). I am exhausted now! And still have to pump.
Both babies started smiling yesterday, which is basically the most wonderful thing I've ever seen.

Yup. I'm at five wakes a night too...I feel demoralized all the time about the amount of feedings and lack of sleep.

Mine eats about every 2 hours, but also hates to nap so do with that what you will.

Hugs. You are not a failure. Babies that don't sleep well are hard. I'm sure your daughters are awesome in plenty of other ways. And you've been so helpful and reassuring to me dealing with my DD's sleep issues. Lol to one wake up.
