I just spent an hour cleaning our main bathroom. I celebrated by having a bath with LO. She loved the extra space to stretch out! She's now fed and clothed and sleeping on my chest. I am so glad I get to have this alone time with her (reminder - DS is at preschool).
I've found pumping the side he doesn't eat on at his last feeding before bed really helps me not be so full in the morning after sttn. And I usually pump again with that first feeding. Doing this has actually really helped me build up a small freezer stash and things seem to be regulating now!
Baby C slept through the night for the first time, just in time for my birthday. Sadly, I did not. The insomnia fairy visited me and I was awake the entire night. Today is our anniversary so I need to perk up before our date night tonight. WTF, brain?! Let me sleep!
I am so jealous of these sleeping babies. The longest I've gotten is 6 hours, but normally more like 4-5 with some 2-3s after that. It's snowing again here and we are 2 inches from beating an all time record here in Boston. I may never see the grass again!
I need some more outfits or props for baby so I can take cute pictures. I didn't get any professional newborn pictures taken which i regret. I'd love to get at least 1 shot of him this small in a cute pose or outfit so I can print a large picture for the family room. sgio7485, grommom your babies have adorable head gear in your avatar pic, can I ask where you bought it?
Also, I just remembered there's a Carters outlet down the street from work and a new HomeGoods opened across that street. I'm going to be sorely tempted to shop during lunch once the weather gets nice.

Thanks, I actually made that out of an old t shirt some fuzzy fabric left over from a project and a pair of doggles that used to being to my doggie before she passed. She never liked wearing them so I figured they might as well become a photo prop
Basically I whipped it together, the hat wasn't even closed on the back side because I figured he'd grow out of it and it was just for the photo. I just used the shoulder part of a tshirt and sewed on some fluffy stuff and the goggles. I made ds1 a pirate hat the same way just by cutting up an old dollar store cheap pirate hat.
Ugh!today lo had his first projectile vomit, right down my shirt! And all over my clothes, him and the rug. We got cleaned up and he seemed hungry so I nursed him and he spit up when I burped him. Fun times

My LO is the exact same! He's done a couple six hour stretches, but otherwise it's just like your LO
Well Mason seemed kind of warm so I took his temp. It's 100.3 they said to call in if it was over 100 but since it was so close I gave him some Tylenol. Hope it helps him feel better. He's still pretty sleepy from his shots yesterday
DS1 didn't STTN (6 hours) until he was 3 months old, and he was more like 9 months before he would sleep for 8 hours consistently. So I'm not getting my hopes up that this one will be any different.

Today has been a day of 10 minute naps!! Eeekkk! Can't really get anything done. I'm confident he would sleep longer if I hd him but I'm trying to break that pattern. I put him down and he is up 10 to 15 mins later. Needed to vent!
I haven't even gotten a 6 hour stretch from my LO. So jealous of even the ones who have gotten 1 or 2
Yeah we're not even close. Like 4 hours maybe is her longest. Even swaddled with white noise she usually only does 3 hours max by herself in her crib. So don't feel alone!

Last night was rough. First stretch of sleep was 3 hours, then every 2, and at 3 am she was wide awake and impossible to put down. I asked DH to help rock her but then couldn't sleep because of his constant sighing and vigorous shushing. He's great in general but just doesn't get that acting frustrated only makes things worse. So of course I took LO back and she fell asleep 10 minutes later. Then I was up again feeding her like an hour later. It sucked.

Same here! Out of curiosity, how often are you all feeding during the day? I've noticed that LO sleeps better if I avoid letting her graze and try to push for at least 2.5h between feedings.

It seems he eats ever 2 to 3 hours during the day now that he's sttn. Before he was eating every 3-4 hours day and night. But he's never been into snacking.
I hate my dogs! Every time I get the baby to sleep they find something to bark at and wake him up. So annoying! I wish we didn't have snow so I could just put them outside...

My LO did this all day yesterday! Drove me nuts! Took me over 2 hours to make a 30 minute meal. She did end up sleeping for almost 10 hours straight last night though. I hope it works out for you!
Last night was not nearly as bad as I was expecting. Owen let out a huge burp, from the depths,and was back to himself. He slept 9-330 and then until 630. It's snowing, again. Next week it's supposed to hit 50, I can't wait for walks! My MIL is coming to visit next week for three weeks. We have had a sketchy relationship in the past...fx it's better this time.
Where are you from?! Sounds like here! It's supposed to hit mid -upper 30's this weekend with 40 and 50's next week!! I will be taking the kids on a walk!!
