W keeps waking up after falling off the boob asleep. I just want to go to bed! Cleaning the house, even if there are a few rooms I didn't get to, was way more tiring than I thought it would be.
Clusterfeeding. I don't mind the lack of sleep at the hospital because I don't sleep well with all the disruptions but now we're home and my bed is so comfy. *looks longingly at bed*

I hope you ladies don't mind me jumping in. I'm here for pump/feed #1. Noah slept quite a bit yesterday so I'm concerned he won't sleep well tonight. Fingers crossed he lets us get another few hours of sleep before waking up again.
Up! About to nurse and hopefully climb back in bed. Tonight is mh's last night off this week so I'm hoping to get as much sleep as possible because I have no idea how much sleep I'll get the rest of the week.

This kid. Tiredness is making me slowly lose my mind about the fact that he refuses to stay asleep if I put him down. The fast breathing when they can't decide to be upset or not is making this tired mom irritated. Either cry or don't.
Well, bottle plus both sides twice meant a four hour stretch. Thank good because I was exhausted. And just realized I'm solo for dinner and bedtime tonight for the first time. They'd better tandem nap this afternoon so I can nap....

Hugs girls. This stage sucks so very much!
I'm back for pump #2 and feed #3 (I know that's not how it's supposed to work but I refused to pump after only 90 minutes). Is there a 1 month growth spurt or something? Good grief. And for some reason I can never nap during the day. I rarely have time between pumping, washing bottles, laundry, etc but when I try anyway I can never fall asleep. Boo.

Going on two hours of being awake, minus the brief moments where he'd trick me into thinking he was finally sleeping. Why are we just now deciding to get our days and nights mixed up? He must have felt like he was missing out.
Up for second feeding which is so close to dh and DD1 wake up time. I'm hoping to just sneak back into bed and let H handle getting her ready for school. But they are usually so noisy getting ready i wake anyway And this gassy baby ugh. I've burped her like 4x in five mins. I thought they weren't supposed to take in as much air bf'ing???
Can we all agree that LTs in this thread are in commiseration? I feel bad wanting to lt but it's like I'm either there or been there with everyone's posts.
L is soooooooooo stuffy. I feel terrible, it's been a rough night. Definitely picking up some saline today since I'm certain he's just dry and he's getting ilk up his nose from spitting up. Trying to debate if I want to get up for the day or not.
Just sent H off to his fist day back to work. I'm happy to be home with the bar, but very sad he's abandoned us
I was up all night til about 4:30 before I cracked and start crying. That's when H tagged in. I feel bad because I really wanted to let him attempt to get some sleep (just to let him ease back into work).
lakegirl, did you buy anything with your gift card?
@summergirl1212 - hiii stranger!
ug. No. I got covered in spit up before I could shop around and then was too much of a zombie from the hourly wakings to enjoy it. No worries though, I'm sure I'll have the opportunity to shop tonight. *cackles*

summergirl1211 IIRC there is a four week growth spurt/sleep regression that leads to cluster feeding. It is temporary. But it's crazy what I've already forgotten from DS
