We're up earlier than usual for our first wakeup, but B went down early too. First stretch was 4.5hrs! My boobs were exploding. I don't have my pump with me, so I dearly hope he takes both sides.
I'm just climbing into bed. Ds isn't down yet but he just finished eating so I passed him off to mh to get to sleep while I try to do the same. Hoping for 3 hours, a girl can dream.

We are up. B is still on the eating every 2 hours rotation. Beginning to wonder if he's going to have the same belly troubles as DD (milk and soy allergy), but reallllllly hoping it's not that!! Also very tempted to just hold him and stay on the sofa so we both get the full 2 hours of sleep.

H was great and stayed up while W slept in the mamaroo so that I could get some quiet sleep. As soon as W goes to bed again, I'm in desperate need of pumping. My boob is killing me.
Up! He slept almost 4.5 hours! I'm thrilled at the sleep I got but it does make me nervous for my milk supply. geauxtigers79 I hope you are getting some sleep, sorry you aren't getting longer stretches yet. peaseblossom55 I admire your dedication to pumping, it would be so hard for me to not throw in the towel and sleep. What are you doing for her diaper rash?

silvermelody, I do that all the time. I know better. I know when he's usually down for the first stretch and I still stay up. I blame it on H's work schedule and wanting to spend time with him but really, it's the only time I get to binge watch Brooklyn 99.

Diaper cream for the rash we have some healing stuff from the hospital and butt paste.

silvermelody, H and I did the same thing last night. Now I am up with DS1 and exhausted. Luckily MIL and FIL are coming over at 10. I will definitely be taking advantage and napping.
smiles already thelittleredm? I'm jealous!! I still only get sleepy milk drunk grins. As adorable as t h e are I can't wait for the real thing.
On the plus side, I just got 4+ hrs straight sleep. LO slept just over 7 hours, skipping his usual first wake up time! Here's hoping the mid feed diaper change wakes him up now because ouch, full boob!
N slept another 3. I did pump and got 2.25oz but then couldn't fall asleep.
Then I had a dream with my aunt that passed away and I woke up crying. I got to hug her and tell her I loved her, and she got to see DS. (She died before he was born). It was sweet but now I miss her. I want to tell my mom but it will make her cry.

silvermelody, that's rough, but really sweet. My mom passed away about 5 years ago, and I don't think I've ever had a dream with her AND my babies. But I did have a really sweet dream that I told her I was pregnant. It was hard waking up, but still very special.

judyblume14 I'm so sorry I can't imagine not having my mom but I have so many friends that have lost theirs already. This aunt was my mom's sister, had no kids, and was our favorite aunt. DH and I had been talking about Christmas before bed which was her favorite time of year, so I think that's what triggered the dream.
