I think DS has just about fallen asleep after his 4am feeding. The past couple nights he's wanted to be rocked or bounced to sleep after nursing, and last night he decided the same thing applied MOTN. For anyone keeping an eye on wonder weeks, do you agree that you should calculate from due date not birth date?
Well its 6 am DS is wide awake and we've had a rough night. DS went down at 9 but was up every hour fussing till 12:30 when my wonderful DH took him to the living room so I could sleep. He was up again at 4 and 5 but I think I know whats bothering him. When he's up and awake he's fine but when he lays down he can't breathe he snorts and sounds so stuffy. So now I'm waiting till Bru opens at 10 so I can get a nose frida and saline. The bulb thing makes him scream bloody murder.
Plus he's cluster feeding. Is there such thing a 10 week growth spurt?

I had my wonder weeks app set from due date initially. Dd was born at 38w6d, so not really that much ahead. I found her schedule to follow more with her birth date, but that dosent seem to follow what they say in the book. Is yours more bd or edd?
Rough sleep night for is also. I was going to clean and shower during his long nap in the morning, but I might just sleep instead lol. I do want to get out and go grocery shopping and to BRU later today.
I also need to price compare cars now that I know the type (used camry) the place near me claims they are no haggle, so I need to see if that is true/how their prices compare.
It's going to be a long day. LO woke up at 4 am. Went back to bed at like 4:45. I'm up pumping and about to go take my shower. She has her 2month appt today. (Then I have to head to work).
Good morning! I couldn't go back to sleep after the MOTN feeding so add me to the sleepy train. She is currently asleep on me so I might close my eyes for a few minutes.
Not a a whole lot going on here. I need to plan our Derby party today. Well and clean the house, but that is no fun

Well yesterday I woke up in a puddle of DS' pee. Then this morning I woke up in a pool of breast milk. I just cannot win. On the plus side DS slept from 10:30-7 with only one wake up around 3:30; hence the leaky boobs. Nothing much on the agenda today except for apparently I need to wash my sheets again for the second day in a row. Hopefully the rain stays away and I can hang them on the line. I love the smell of laundry fresh of the clothesline.
@ work. Lo dream nursed all night almost but otherwise it went well. I still got into bed too late once I got everything done, but I think I got about 4.5 hours which seems good right now. Sad when four five hours broken up is good sleep...
Pollen is making my LO stuffy and sneezy. He napped horribly yesterday and then was up grunting and sneezing from 4am on. He is going to the babysitter 3 days this week to get acclimated because I go back to work next Monday It is going to suck but at least he will be with someone I've known since birth. Before I was born my mom found an amazing woman to take care of me and my mom and her have been best friends since. Now her daughter, who is family basically and was a bridesmaid in my wedding, is taking care of my LO and it's one less thing I have to fret over.
My LO woke up at 2am, 4am, and 6am to eat. Wtf girl, you couldn't have been hungry. Guess I'll shower and start the day. Another showing at 10 and both the girls need baths. Plus we got my dog back from my parents, who've had him this last week. He's like a third child (maybe even worse).
* We moved yesterday. The realtor is pretty useless as she never gave us a copy of the lease for utilities. Consequently, we have no power until some unspecified time tomorrow.
* We have no idea where exactly our marriage certificate is or when it will get here. It might still be in South Africa going from Durban to Jo'burg to then leave the country. They are apparently 'looking into it.' We have an appointment at the Consulate on Thursday to try and apply for everything and I am not confident they'll accept it. I just want my kid to have his fucking travel documents.
DS got up at 3 and nursed for 45 minutes. I let him go that long since he's been stuffy and I've been battling either allergies or a sinus thing and figure he can use the antibodies. I put him back down around 4:15 sleepy, but then we got him back up because he was sounding so stuffy himself.
I used saline drops and the nose frieda, and got some good stuff out, but after a few minutes he sounded just as stuffy. How do you know when you've got it all out?
Anyway, we're back up again and my head has been pounding since yesterday afternoon. Ugh. I hope he finishes soon so I can get up and take something.
Rough night here as well. DS has been pretty consistent on waking up only once per night (around 2am). Last night he was up 3 times and he's a bit grumpy this morning. He's actually been fine since DH left for work but he was being a little grump for him when he was trying to help me out this morning.
I have my 6 week pp visit today. I'll be glad to be done with the doctor's appts for a while. I can't believe DS is 6 weeks already. He's getting so big! It makes me very proud to see how much he's grown and know that I made it happen. I have nursed him and grown him from an itty bitty into the little chunk that he is today.
+1 to the congestion club. Nose Frieda and saline helps.
cougarette I do nose Frieda, saline, hold him upright for a minute (soothing him cause he isn't a fan of saline), then nose Frieda again. Then I hold him upright on my chest. If he gets stuffy & fussy in a few minutes, I repeat. I figure when I'm having sinus problems I blow my nose several times in a row, as mucus overproduction is a never ending problem, and I'm basically blowing DS's nose.
pitdigger I hope everthing gets sorted soon. What a mess!
Hugs to everyone who had a rough night. DD slept ok, but DH had to get up early so I agreed to take all changes and feedings through the night. It was so much rougher than just having to do the feedings (DH usually changes the diaper). Everytime she woke up I felt like I had not slept at all, even though 2 h had passed. Crazy. It shouldn't be that much of a difference but it was.
We are out on the town today, shopping for fabric. I dug out my sewing machine so I'm excited to make some baby clothes for DD! Found a cute green fabric with crocodiles and elephants on it so I'm gonna try to make a onesie
abb1701 FTM here, but I think there are just tons of growth spurts thrown in there, not necessarily "on schedule." At least that's how I rationalize DD's hunger/ fussiness and my subsequent frustration.
Nothing real planned for us today... The weather is supposed to be gorgeous, so I'm looking forward to a long walk with DD and the dog (assuming everyone cooperates).
Slight whine: we're getting the driveway resealed today so I have to make sure the dog doesn't run on it (nearly impossible while carrying car seat) and lug the stroller awkwardly through the bumpy lawn. We have to stay off of t for 48 hrs... We'll see. Oh well, not a huge deal, just a slight annoyance.
Lo took a nap in his swing for an hour or so and I napped on the couch. We are both in a much better mood. He is playing on his play mat and trying to see just how much of both fists he can get into his mouth at the same time. This appears to be a very fun game.
Oh! And after seeing all of the posts about the "sit me up," I got one from BRU yesterday! So far, so good... Although she still slumps a bit
Anyone know about how long they like this kindof thing for? I'm deciding if I want to get one vs having less stuff around the house.
I debated with that too... I think really just a couple of months (until they can sit up on their own and use a bumbo -type seat)... I guess she would still like it even then, perhaps. Our house is quickly getting crowded!

LO has been stuffy since she was born. I would recommend the salin mist rather than the drops.
Worst fucking night EVER! LO was up from 1-2:30 and 3:30 to 6:00...SCREAMING!!!! Non stop screaming. I was losing my shit. Thankfully DH was a big help.
She is screaming in pain so I was thinking gas but now I'm worried she caught the cold/sore throat everyone in the house has. But still what's to scream about that much? She doesn't have a fever so I'm at a loss as to how to help. I gave her a small dose of Tylenol and she's asleep on me now.
I'm just exhausted and at a loss of what else to do.
LO clearly hates me. She has been crying ever since I took her from H and he left for work. She ended up spending time in her room with her door closed at its only 10 am. Ahh Monday.
