Hi loves!
DH went back to work today so I'm flying solo. Evie has been refusing to sleep from 9pm-1am the last few days. I'm not sure what we're doing wrong that she won't go down for bed. She eats a huge (for her) bottle at 9 and then goes in her rock and play where she cries and cries until I feed her again (10/11ish) then she'll fuss and cry until her midnight feeding. After that she'll go to sleep for 3 hours. What the heck child? Isn't she too young for cluster feeding?

If I'm remembering correctly ds went through a growth spurt/something when he was around 3 weeks old and all he wanted to do was nurse and getting him down for bed was a nightmare. I can't remember exactly how old the girls are but probably somewhere around that age?
I also realize this isn't particularly helpful (hug)

They'll be 3 weeks on Friday. I just didn't want to resort to using the bottle every time if she's not actually hungry. But so far it's the only way I can get her to just quiet down.
onesweetworld the insomnia at the end is downright awful. Do/take what you can to sleep when you can!
I ate breakfast, popped Benadryl and laid down for another hour and a half. Now I don't want to get out of bed and go to work. I'm seriously contemplating only working a half day. I'm so exhausted.

Yeah I definitely hear you with that. 😩
Sometimes I would put the rock n play in the bathroom and turn the vent on and trickle the water in the tub and it would be one of the few ways I could get him to sleep (for naps). 🙈

Nope, not too young. There's also the witching "hour" and that may just be hers. It subsides around month 3 or 4, usually.

I'm sorry sleep has been so rough. 😢
Dog didn't help last night. I've slept the last two nights upstairs in the bedroom with H but I think it's time to go back downstairs to the guest room. H did help last night and took the dog out at 1 or 2 so I didn't have to.

For the first 2 weeks of her life my toddler defaulted to being asleep. Then suddenly it started taking effort to get her down. I would pace around the house with her for an hour after every night feed sometimes before I could get her down. I'm sure it's very hard with 2 but it sounds normal to me.

Unfortunately, expect it to last until delivery :/ Mine got really bad at 37w with DS1. I'd go to bed at 8/9p, wake at 3/3:30a, and stay up until 9/10a before napping. It's also the time Benadryl stopped being effective to me because I built up a tolerance to it. (I have insomnia the entire pregnancy so I rely heavily on sleep aids the entire time)

Yay lol. I'm trying not to rely on the sleep aids so I'm hoping when I do take it it will still be effective. I'm pretty sure she dropped yesterday, my stomach seems lower.

mustloveerica, I was going to mention the witching hour. With DD, she started falling into that around 2 weeks old and most nights she would fuss from around 7-12 (sometimes later). We could not put her down for more than a minute. It was very frustrating but you'll get through it. I think it lasted about a month or so and started to trail off. I know she was a lot better by the time I went back to work at 8 weeks.

Relying on sleep aids isn't fun, but we do what we have to do to survive!
A dropped as well. If he's anything like big brother, he'll drop another 2-3 times before my EDD. Seeing as I still only need to pee once at night, he hasn't dropped enough 😒

I'm back from my weekend away. H is home with DD and I wish I was there too. I have no patience for work today. We had a good weekend. We bought most of the rest of what we wanted from our registries on Saturday and then went to SeaWorld yesterday. We got home to one of my cats being sick, though. She seemed ok when we got home, ate her canned food and then proceeded to throw it up and go lay down in the nursersy the rest of the night, which is very unlike her because she likes attention. I'm going to call H in a few minutes and see how she's doing to determine whether to call the vet. She's 12 so I'm always paranoid that it's something bad at her age.

Nope. Not too young. A was like that. I was BFing, so it was like she was on me ALL THE TIME. There were nights it would go until 3:00 a.m. Something that I found that helped was the sound of the fan over the stove. I put it on the highest setting and rocked her in front of it and she'd be out like a light.
