My night was over after 3 am. That's when Alex thought it'd be fun to stay awake and play or pretend to fall asleep for 30 min or decide he was hungry again. Repeat. At 4:30 both dh and I got up to use the bathroom, he went first. When I went, I could hear Alex fussing. Did dh do anything no. He went back to sleep. My dh isn't going to take the baby MOTN and let me sleep a few hrs. That's never gonna happen. Childcare is my job. It still sucks and I get upset over it esp motn. I guess accepting it is how I keep from letting it create issues between us.
And now I need to go get some extra strong coffee to function today.
Good morning. I got to go out for wine and tapas last night with a fellow twin mom. After parenting solo all day and after putting babies to bed. It was fun, and I'm sofaking tired. I guess I'll just be tired for the next 18 years. Haha
I hoping for only a few years of sleep deprivation. I am a great sleeper so I'm hoping M is too.
J takes after DH sleep wise... id sleep all the time if I was able. Those two are morning birds 😔
Good morning mommas! Popping over here to see if you guys have any suggestions for items to go into a 3rd tri/birthday gift basket for my girlfriend. I have a maternity dress (NWT) that I'm going to give her, and I was thinking of adding some RRLT, belly butter, and Tums. What else should I throw in??
Hmmmm snacks?
Sparkly turned me on to these type of shirts for nursing:
There are many different brands out there that I've purchased but I basically live in these things over a nursing tank.
Ooh snacks is a good idea! Those shirts look cool...they will be perfect for fall!

They are lightweight so they can be worn anytime. They have a good amount of slack on the sides to act as a nursing cover too. It really is my favorite shirt.

I started a "post-baby" Amazon wish list for things I want to remember to buy after Oliver is born. I'll have to add some of these.

Does anyone out there work full time M-F and have a partner who works a non-traditional schedule? I really need some advice on how to not be filled with resentment when I parent by myself every other weekend, and half the month I do nights by myself.
Basically it makes me hate my husband and I go back to work on Mondays utterly exhausted.
The working parents board might have some good advice 😢
LT is for hugs. MH and I are opposite of your situation but he hasn't helped me one ounce since she has been born so...
Thanks, lady. I feel like such a broken record. Glad I can get things off my chest here.
Big hugs. I feel like I have no one but you guys to complain/vent to. I don't have many irl friends and I don't know how helpful/comforting any would be lol

We went to our nephews birthday party yesterday. MIL spent literally the whole party trying to get the babies to smile. I was praying the entire time that they wouldn't. Cuz I feel like they should smile for me first. They didn't smile for her thank goodness.

I'm not in your position but I think my first step would be to consider whether what you're doing is the most fair, sensible solution from everyone's perspective (sometimes the best solution is still shitty) or whether something can change. I find that when I'm sleep-deprived I basically always feel angry and resentful, and it's helpful to me to identify whether that's just because I'm sleep-deprived or whether I actually need to change something.
We're going grocery shopping today and I'm so excited to get stuff too make waffles! It's seriously all I can think about. I can't wait. We're also going to Target, maybe Kohl's, because I really need some new pajamas and some shorts for summer. Hopefully I can find something that will work.

J smiled for MH before me. I was irrationally disappointed. Even know H gets more of the belly laughs than I do 😂
So R has this big rubber ducky that holds other ducks in its back ( www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004USI7E4/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) and she likes to use it as a plate. I try to keep it away from the kitchen so she doesn't do it, but clearly I don't pay enough attention because I just looked at it (in the living room on her table) and there's a piece of french toast on it from breakfast. 😶

On our way to the second annual memorial ceremony for babies lost at the hospital we had Anne.liese. It feels sad in different ways this year. At least the weather is awesome.
First few weeks I'd end up on the sofa with A sleeping on me. It was horrible. Hope you can her back in the RNP again.
I too am a sofa mom. She's happy, I'm exhausted.
I've never been more thankful of our reclining couch than I was when R was new. Though it took me until she was like 10 months before I could really sleep with her on the couch.
