Bring out your spam!

I'm up at this rude hour because my son decided that he didn't need to finish his 5 am bottle, including spitting out milk when I attempted to get him to finish. Therefore, it makes total sense to wake up 2 hrs later starving.... Grr I thought we were past 2 hr sleep chunks.

[missys]

I'm going to brag because in his 8 weeks on earth it had never happened, but after using the miracle blanket for the first time last night LO slept from 730 until 2 and is now up at 6! This is amazing for us!! I went to bed at 9 and got 5 straight hours of sleep. Happy dance! Houdini arms couldn't get out and wake him up with that thing.

dramacat sorry about your sleep interruption!

[aggiebug]

I spent a fair portion of the night on DD's bedroom floor and the other portion on the couch with her. Yeah fun times.

No she is getting out of her swaddle and her hands are waking her up. Come to find out this morning DH (and that D =/=dear) also decided that she didn't need her swaddle tight and should have one hand out. This is the 2nd night in a row so I figured it was her and didn't even try to reswaddle. I was not happy with him this morning.

[toadandbuggie]

aggiebug,Ugh!I wouldn't have been happy either.

Yesterday I got an email from the hospital I gave birth at saying I had an online message on their system. I log on and for some reason it showed the results of my placenta testing as new even though it said they came back January 26 (I gave birth January 21). Anyway, I was induced 3 weeks early due to suspected IUGR and it turns out I had placental infarction. I had to look it up but basically my placenta wasn't getting enough oxygen and was dying. So my babe wasn't getting what he needed to grow.

How freaking scary is that? And why didn't my doc say anything to me at my 6 week pp? I feel like that's something really serious that will have to be monitored during my next pregnancy.

im officially changing our last name to "The Bad News Bears." WTF else could go wring. The litany of things just this year alone gets me-delivery complications, sperm donor dragging me to court over child support, DS sustaining skull fractures, DHs psycho exwife causing issues- NOW my work is downsizing and DH got orders 5 hours away (we did NOT expect that)......

Seriously?!? What the fresh hell.

Oh gosh I am so sorry. That is really sucks. Those are the times that make you want to take a bat to the radio when Kelly Clarkson starts belting "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger".

Creepy internet hugs to you. There has to be a light at the end of the tunnel. You just can't see it yet.

I also would rock out to Christina Aguilera's "Fighter"

Mom2Ms I am so sorry about all of this. Thinking of you all!

Mom2Ms Hugs.

We made it through the first 2 periods of the hockey game last night at the sports bar before G decided he was done. He was really chill until then. Thankfully with the move we are now only 5 minutes from town, so we were able to get him home and down by 11.

Today we attempt travel documents. My spirits are low with regards to it.

Also, someome should be by to look at the washer this morning since it's not starting a wash cycle.

toadandbuggie - holy crap! At least they tested yours I guess. My DS was born full term at 4lbs 13 oz and they DIDNT TEST it! The baby wasn't in medical distress so why test it? So now for all subsequent pregnancies I won't know what happened and how to prevent it.

It's truly upsetting that your ob didn't see it...! It just goes to show you have to be your own advocate with health stuff.

Guys, my LO has woken to stretch and grunt a few times (hence I'm awake) but is back asleep and this is his longest stretch ever. I'm so proud and excited....! 12:40 to 6:11 so far....

I remember them asking my OB if he wanted to send the placenta for testing and he said yeah, but no follow up with me on it at all. I would be worried if I were you too for subsequent pregnancies - I guess tell them you suspect IUGR in previous pregnancy and would like that monitored? That's crazy they didn't test yours. From what I read, placenta infarction can cause fetal death if too much of the placenta tissue dies. How freaking scary!!!

[cginge]

Praying for you and your family, Mom2Ms! Any one of those things by themselves is a lot to go through.

[miniwheat]

Im sorry about the bad news Mom2Ms. I hope its better soon!
aggiebug, I hope you can get a nap in today.
toadandbuggie, that is super scary! And I don't understand why your Dr wouldn't have mentioned it to you following your birth or PP appointments.

[aggiebug]

I am pretty certain my boobs can "hear" DD crying better than my ears. Holy milk fountain in the shower batman.

The miracle blanket is the SHIZ. I love it!

I didn't know what to do after my 5 hours of uninterrupted sleep and felt awake so I ordered another one online because it seriously was a miracle he slept for almost 7 hours!

Mom2Ms I'm sorry! Hugs.

I flipped at DH last night. He came home really late after having choir practice and basically sat down on the couch and huffed and puffed about how tired HE was. Then he brushed his teeth and went straight to bed. Meanwhile, I had to change DD, make her bed, turn of the TV and all the lamps in the house, BF, hang the wet cloth diapers and get myself ready for bed. And this after DD had fussed all night. Yeah, dude, I feel so sorry for you, it must be tough to get to go to OUR choir and meet OUR friends while your wife is isolated in the home with a screaming baby.

I appologised today for being so irritaded and ge said it was understandable. However, he did not appologise for not helping out, so I'm still a little pissed.

[dreemkin]

My spam is nothing compared to others today but my DDs and I all woke up with a cold. Where do (part time) SAHMs sign up for a sick day?

T&Ps for everyone have a tough time for whatever reason! ((Hugs))

You just drug yourself out so you don't even remember that you're sick.





Kidding. Kind of.

[dramacat]

@mammalawyer sorry things are so rough! We will keep you and your family in our prayers. Things will work out somehow (even though this but totally sucks!) and we are here to listen and commiserate with all your rants.

Being sick with kids stinks! I had a cold last week and it was spring break so the two year old wasn't even in preschool his three mornings a week. On top of that DH had to work Saturday so I didn't even have him half the weekend.

[cougarette]

DH has been getting up every 2 hours the last few nights. My boobs are happy, but I'm so ty-ty.

I need to schedule a visit with the chiropractor. My poor back is hurting and my neck feels stiff.

[cougarette]

Aw, Mom2Ms, I hope it gets better soon!

[pitdigger]

Application pending waiting on marriage certificate. Ugh. Hopefully one of them shows up in 90 days. This is just freaking ridiculous.

[junebugjam]

I know this is a minor problem compared to others, but I've had it with these short naps. I need a nap too, baby, and 27 minutes won't cut it! I feel like I spend all day just putting him to sleep because he wakes up happy enough that he won't go back down, but 30 minutes later is crying and miserable again from these ridiculous short naps. Ugh.

[mrszee]

junebugjam I feel you on the "crap naps", I get about 20 minutes which isn't enough and dd just gets more and more overtired.

Mom2Ms, I haven't been around much but have just caught up and am sorry for everything going on. I am hoping things turn around soon!! Hugs and hair pats to you!

I went back to work part time from home last week which is kind of nice but also a little stressful if dd won't snooze a bit so I can get things done. Or gets fussy while I am on the phone I called the daycare yesterday to set up DD's first day and cried on the phone with them. And now I am crying thinking about it

And yay for the good sleepers here! We are still varied but getting 4-5 hour stretches is amazing!!

[cginge]

How long do your LO's typically stay awake in between naps during the day when you're chilling at home?
