I'm heading to the doc for an ear infection. Obviously caught sympathy ear pain... boo! My head feels awful tbh. I can't believe how often i tolerated this as a child
DS woke up for a 3:30am feed. I'll be happy when DH is off all next week and can help. I feel really bad waking him up when he's only been asleep 1.5 hours.
Ear infections are horrible WittyLittle! Feel better!
I'm so pleased with myself. A local author writes children's books about a girl with the same name as my DD. I now have a "Good night"-book with my daughters name on it. I have a feeling it's gonna be very popular!
@alyllyra That's really cool. I'm sure lo will love that as part of the bedtime routine.
Does anyone else's so play dumb in the mid of the night? Dd woke up and I asked DH to get her feeding pillow and her from the crib. He laid there and kept repeating the request like it was in some foreign language until she got so pissed off that I juSt did it. Dude, I know you haven't gotten up like once in the 2 months since you went back to work, but this is so not rocket science. Grrrr
osumegs Actually, TBH, I'm the one who plays dumb MOTN.... I pretend not to wake up so that DH has to do diaper change and I can only get up for nursing. That way, I don't have to get out of bed. I know, I'm mean.
But that sucks about your DH. It really isn't hard to be of a little bit of help and not piss of his wife.
good morning! DD has slept for 7.5hrs last night, that is quite unusual these days. Of course I was up for the day at 4:30 because I knew she had to be waking up soon. Nope.
Today is my anniversary, although we aren't really doing much. I will make us crab cakes for dinner but no gifts really. We are going to Atlanta this weekend.
And DD is sweetly waking up so I should go get her. She wakes up so happy in the mornings it so sweet.
lotsofdotts I saw your message about H and his rough day yesterday. Poor guy. Tell him your internet friends sympathize with him and he is not a failure!
Woke up at 4 because DS was making all kinds of noise, but he managed to work his hands to the top of the swaddle and self soothe back to sleep for half an hour. I of course couldn't fall asleep so I was almost glad when he woke up hungry. Maybe we can both sleep in after this. And then I can spam about something other than sleep - like LSU baseball!

aggiebug Thanks! Things were better last night for him. Apparently Brady just couldn't be soothed most of the day and DH was so tense that it added to the issue.
My spam for this morning is related because I figured out how bad it must have been because Brady went to bed at 7:30, which is earlier than normal. I woke up at 4:45 and realized he hadn't woken up, so I went to check on him. He nearly gave me a heart attack because he was silent, so I put my hand on him and he didn't move at all! He was in such a deep sleep that I had to shake him a little before he moved. I definitely panicked a little! He got up all smiley and nursed and is now back to sleep.
Fingers crossed that today is a better day for both of them.
Also, happy anniversary! I hope you get to do something fun in Atlanta!

HA! Mine tries this and I shove the baby in his face. Though he does a lot for us and generally I can't complain, he loses all sense of 'fair' at night and thinks because he's tired he deserves to sleep. noooonononono. Nah-uh. If I'm working the next day, it's his turn with the night feed! i can't imagine if he didn't get up for 2 months... what have you tried so far?

Ugh! That sounds like a baaaaaaad day. Our guy is super sensitive to us being stressed also. It's like a viscious cycle :/ We bought one of those breathing monitor pads because DS is such a sound sleeper. I know it wouldn't prevent anything bad from happening but just seeing the little light flicker as he breathes takes away a lot of panic moments. Before that I caught myself saying 'dead people have their eyes open' to myself at least once a night. So wrong. eta: give your DH a hug from us, he deserves it! Hate those days!

Just got back from the docdoc. He said he thinks I have postpartum thyroiditis (I just tried to translate that literally, don't know if that's a thing...). I'd never heard of it. But when he explained it I guess a lot of things match. I lose SO much hair lately, I keep gaining weight though I'm eating better than I did even pre-pregnancy (and exercising but only since 2 weeks) and I kind of have to admit that I have mood swings... Had a blood test and should hear tomorrow already what's up. Not sure why that would make my ears hurt so much though... but there was no sign of infection at all so I'll just have to go with the flow :-P

Sometimes my DH will do this. It really depends on the day and my mood as to how I respond. All I want is for him to either start warming up the bottle in a mug of to change his diaper. I never make him stay up to feed/put him back to sleep. Andplusalso, DH has a really easy time falling back to sleep.

All the time. We are transitioning to pnp from rnp, and im back at work now too. 2 nights ago lo wouldn't go back to sleep after eating so i woke up DH. He was all why don't you feed him. Well yes. Thank you. I tried that. and rocked him for 15 minutes already. Why don't you try helping for 10 minutes.
WittyLittle, thyroiditis is a real term I am sorry they think that is what is going on. I hope they can get it under control soon and you feeling better.

aggiebug thank youuuu! I haven't been feeling sick really, just a bit off, so it should be just fine assuming it doesn't get worse I was just really surprised!
WittyLittle, Feel better soon! aggiebug, Happy Anniversary! lotsofdotts, Yikes that is a scary moment. Both my kids have done that in a deep sleep.
Nothing really spam worthy here today. Going to my work to drop something off and chat with a lady who has a daughter who has a lazy eye like DS. She went through the process to have it corrected and she said next time I drop in she will tell me the process they went through to give me an idea of what will happen if treatment is needed and what questions to ask.
Then I am picking up some birthday cards with DS and getting his passport photo taken.
Today is the end of school year mass at the school where I've worked for the past 4 years. They're always do good bye prayers for teachers that are not coming back, so I'm attending with DS. I have major mixed feelings about this since I wish I could still teach the next year. I hope I can just have a glad heart and not be too emotional.

donating my nerves to you to get through that today. Such a nice thing to do!!! But I can imagine it will take nerves of steal to get through that.
Do the bingo squares count if you don't feel guilty about them? Because I sure as hell don't feel guilty about my epidural, sushi during pregnancy, or pizza for dinner (now or in the future when DD is old enough to eat it too).
We are headed for DS (and me I guess) to participate in an infant study. We got a flyer while in the hospital and it sounds pretty cool. They ask me a bunch of questions and put a monitoring band on DS and observe him doing things like watching tv and playing with me. He'll go again at 6 months an a year, and they will also do developmental assessments at those. We also get paid, but I'd do that without anyway. Should be interesting!
Also, if ya'll remember when I first started work about 3 weeks ago I was asking for advice about going on a 4 day trip for work. Finally we have decided I'm not going. I kept being very open about going, and just brainstorming with my boss about how we would deal with certain logistics (pumping, ect). She was able to find someone else to fill my spot who hasn't traveled to our programs, so its good all around. Thank you everyone who gave advice!
