Is it even Tuesday? I'm so freaking tired I don't even know. At 9 weeks she is still only sleeping a few hours at a time. I'm so exhausted. I don't know how I've done 9 weeks of this, and I don't know how I will survive being so sleep deprived for years to come. I really, really miss sleep
And my appetite is out of control. I have a pack of peanut butter crackers next to my bed but I'm scared if I open them my dogs will hear and come rushing in and then my cat will jump off the bed and they will chase him and make so much noise!!!
Someone at church asked how I was doing. She said some women handle the lack of sleep better than others. I told her I love sleep and she just laughed.
I'm pretty sure it's Tuesday. Since I'm not working it's hard to keep track.
I'm up for our 2nd MOTN feed, I should get another 3 hour stretch before it's time to start our day.
I'm taking DS to BRU to get some more swaddlers. The velcro ones we got that are supposed to fit him are too tight! My son is already picky, he likes to be swaddled but he wants to be able to pull his arms out. If I swaddle him with his arms out he screams. This is my karma for being picky.
Happy St Patrick's day! Is anyone else freezing in their homes at 70 degrees? We've had to have the AC on to keep it in the safe sids range and having the AC on in St. Louis in March is just crazy.....
Me Before you by Jojo Moyes. It should have a lot of good discussion.
I've had that on my Kindle since January, but Baby 411 is the only book I've read since DS was born.
Same. I made it few the first parts of Amy Poehler's book "Yes Please" my week of maternity leave before Oliver and haven't been able to get back to it

Tonight open it before you go to bed so you don't have this problem

I started reading Trigger Warning by Neil Gaiman to DS while we nursed yesterday. I figured short stories were more manageable for me right now.

I heart Neil Gaiman. I haven't read anything since having DS. I love reading so this makes me a sad panda.
LO was a booger butt last night. I went to bed early and left DH to do the last feeding and put him to bed. The little monster decided to scream from 10-1:30 when my DH finally gave up and brought him to me as he needs some sleep before work. I turned off all the lights, took LO to his room and rocked him to sleep in about 15 minutes. He cooed pretty much the entire time. DH was pretty pissed. He has spent the last two weeks saying that LO is going to be our only child. I keep telling him that no one enjoys these sleepless nights and that we wouldn't be trying for a second one for 3 years, but I don't think he's convinced.
DD had gas that made it take an hour for her to fall asleep after eating at 5:30. So i should get up and shower now, but i just want to lay in bed. I have my 6 week checkup today, so i want to tidy up a bit downstairs.
I'm looking forward to tonight: DH got some Magners (irish hard cider) for us to drink after the kids go to bed tonight. It's the only thing I really want to celebrate St. Patrick's Day with, since I don't eat corned beef, and I'm avoiding cabbage.
Ok, I'm up now, time to break out the razor and find my lady bits again.
I was on my way downstairs to put some milk I just pumped away then I slipped on some stairs. Rode the last 3 steps down on my tailbone and shoulder blades. I lay there with half of me still on a step for at least a minute in shock, didn't know what to do. I eventually called out for my mum, who's staying in the guest room downstairs. DH also woke to come help get me off the stairs. Holy motherf, I'm in pain everywhere now.
LO is still being the brat that he is while I'm miserable. Crying and shit after being down for only an hour. How is it only 4.30am? I can't deal with my Boss Baby anymore, please roll on, 8am! (Then my mum takes care of him) when he wakes, he's going to get formula; my tailbone is hurting so bad, I can't even sit properly, let alone nursing. So damn tired. Baby, please stop trying to cry and fall the hell back asleep already. Mummy just can't tonight.
It's DH & my third anniversary today! His present hasn't arrived yet, and I don't know how we're celebrating this evening, but I'm still happy it's our anniversary.
DS did great last night. 4 and 5 hour stretches between feeds last night. He took an hour to fall asleep again after his feedings but that is still a longer sleep than I have had in a while. Good work kiddo! He had a lot of fresh air yesterday. We were outside preparing trees for maple syrup! Spring is almost here!
DS is 6 weeks today, which means I am 6 weeks pp, which makes this one of DH's favourite days.
I need to get back into shape and I think I am going to try jogging. I normally hate running, but its something I can do in a short amount of time and I can take the kids with me. Does anyone have a couch to 5k plan they want to recommend?
We are up earlier than usual and I'm hoping he will go back to sleep but I'm not sure . I guess if not I'll try and take a nap when he does later on today

What do you guys do to prepare? We tapped our tree for the first time this year. My DH is super proud of himself and makes anyone who walks in the door try the syrup. Lol.
