Finally got my sick LO back to sleep after he woke up coughing. I can hear the husband hacking all the way across the house. I'm finally coming down with the cold we've been passing around our house. Oh, and the dog puked on the living room carpet. Looks like I can give up trying to get any rest tonight.
I am irrationally annoyed with dh. When he changes a diaper he takes the new one and thrashes it through the air to open it up. Have fun getting dd back to sleep after that and don't complain to me about how long it took when she woke up in the MOTN. Why the heck can't you just open a diaper like a normal, non spastic human?
She gets really drowsy after I feed her in the night so you know maybe being gentle would make sense but noooooo wake her up more with your violent thrashing so you can open a damn diaper.
DH can't change the MOTN diaper by nightlight.... NOOOOO... He needs to turn on the LED flashlight :: Palm to forehead ::
Tonight he tells me "LO was smacking her lips for about half an hour so I shone the flashlight in her face, but she was asleep" WTF?!?!?! Is this why I'm feeding at 1:30 not 2:30??

Fx for snow day cmac Oh man that sucks Kaylajade. Hope the next 2 days go fast and without pain. What s crappy night boogie bean I swear these guys don't have half a brain!
M was FINALLY having a decent stretch of sleep - so what does DH do? Rolls him over and wakes him up! Then he unswaddles him and brings him to our room but doesn't bother to change his diaper. What the ever living fuck dude!?
Now he's wondering why he won't go back to sleep... I'm going to kill him.

This sounds exactly like my last week. I hope it passes quickly for you!

thanks. Cold and flu season can suck it. Too many sweet babies getting sick
sabby2 My DH did one MOTN feeding and he stomped around like a bull. Freaking idiots lol
I have an old creaky house and I've literally memorized where the creakiest spots are and completely avoid them which means gigantic steps.
I was talking to DH about this recently saying it's hard because I'm short and that I'm surprised at how much noise he makes considering he can easily avoid all the extra noisy spots. His response was something to the fact of "oh I just walk wherever I want and know if she wakes up you'll be able to get her to sleep again." Nice... Really nice.
I feel like a stealth ninja in the dark prancing around on the quiet floorboards. There is a funny video somewhere where the "safe" spots are marked with an X using tape

Uh with glow in the dark tape?! Oh my gosh I'm doing this for DH. He will laugh his ass off and hopefully help me out. Wins all the way around.
DS is asleep on my chest, but is hacking away snot and peed through his sleeper do I'm awake. Can't even suck the snot from the poor kid's nose bc I left the nosefrida in his cooler at daycare and the spare bulb aspiratot is in the diaper bag ... In the car, two floors down in the outdoor garage. I will be listening to snores and coughs as I sleep (?) at this lovely 45° angle for the next three hours.
Do you have the infant saline spray keely? DS freaked when he was younger with the nose suckers so I would use the saline to help clear instead.
I'm super tired tonight. I really hope baby sleeps.
I do and will grab them if his coughing/snoring starts up again -- he seems to be breathing okay righ now (we're at the tail end of a cold). I'm just going to let him keep sleeping at an incline for the rest of the (short) night.
LO miraculously fell asleep at 8:30 and so did I. Now she's up at midnight eating. Hopefully she falls right back to sleep. Apparently she didn't sleep much during the day. She cried for over an hour when I got home. Poor baby.

Fail fail fail fail. Two hours of sleep then up every hour since then. Swing isn't working. When he's in bed with me he flails his arms until he's awake.
When I bring M into bed with me he sleeps great! Until about 4am when he starts screaming in pain
It seems to always be gas bubbles, so my theory is that he doesn't squirm as much in bed with me and therefore doesn't squirm out the bubbles. I just can't win!
Well this has been a little better than the past week+. I put him down at 6:30 because he skipped his last nap and was losing his shit, then fed him at 9:30 before I went to sleep. He slept til to 2:30, when DS1 woke up crying for the first time in like a year. :/ I suspect he would've gone longer. Got him back down nursing and now he's up again pooping and spitting up.
Last night I had to do a MOTN feeding for our freeking dog. His stomach started growling so loudly I couldn't sleep. An hour later I was up with the baby uggh.

Hope everyone's sleeping. DD didn't want anything to do with her dream feed earlier so here we are up nursing. I hope she sleeps good after this. She was doing so good sleeping in a long first stretch.
I think I'll be in this thread forever. She's still in the PNP. So I know I'll have issues when we transition to the crib. Which won't be for a few months since her room is the coldest in the house. We have to wait til winter is over. Boo.
Nope, no sleep for us tonight. Up at 9:45, 12:30, and again now at 3. He just SCREAMS. I have to hold him for like an hour and then by the time I put him down he's up again. He is inconsolable, like something is wrong but he can't tell us what. I think it's gotta be gas but none of our tricks work at night. I just do not understand why he is doing this all night when he's not screaming during the day.

OMG Donkey! I love you to pieces, but seriously, what the heck!? We were up to 4 hour stretches...now I am up 4 times in 4 hours! AND DH, SERIOUSLY!! Do you REALLY think that saying you are "slowly dying" today because you couldn't sleep last night for 2 hours is appropriate when I am up that amount of time EVERY night?? You're tired! Oh poor baby! Andplusalso, thanks alot for inviting people over to our house for the super bowl and not discussing it with me first!
Asshole. I hope my pillow doesn't smother your poor, exhausted ass.
Reporting for duty. DH took him from 10:30-midnight and then gave up and went to sleep downstairs. I think I'm going to cave and let him sleep in the bed with me. Better than me sleeping in the nursery chair I suppose.

TP to your H! I can empathize. Mine is being a disagreeable prick tonight.
