Morning. H and I watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail last night. While knowing many of the scenes from the movie it was the first time I had actually watched it.

I just had my first legit projectile pooping incident.
We have finally broken through with LO in the crib. She was down to one wake up from 6-6. Then last night happened.....she had some gas and was up all night. I was holding her this morning on the rocker and I felt her body tense up--she was finally pooping! Yay! So as per routine I wait a couple minutes make sure she is really done then put her on the changing pad. The poo was dark in color (she gets solids, formula, and BM) which was a little alarming, but NBD. Just as I'm finishing up the yellow BM poo comes squirting out with such force it went 4 feet to the door. I'm not kidding.
It was on me, the changing pad, the wipe warmer, the changing table and all over the carpet. I just laughed and called for H.
I'm treating this as a MOTN feeding in hopes DS goes back to sleep so I can too. It'll be another day of a messed up schedule but I feel awful still. Wish DS liked bed sharing at all - we would totally camp out in my bed all day.

Right?I try to snuggle DS up in my bed almost every day and he's like nope bring me to my crib woman I am no longer your snuggly newborn.
After feeding DS at 5:30 I set him back in the crib hoping he'd just hang out or fall back asleep until I had to get up at 6:30.
DH went in there around 6, came back in our room, and said that he must have spit up everywhere because he was soaked. Went in there and sure enough he's sopping wet and the sheets are drenched.
While we change him and the sheets I told DH that I'm kind of glad it was in his bed and not all over me AGAIN.
But I feel bad that I doesn't hear it. I mean, what if that happened at 2am? Poor guy. Though I guess he would have started crying. Of course he was all smiles as we cleaned up.

Yeah, lo doesn't really like to snuggle anymore either. Sad!

mrsclark731, Haha whoa. Not sure if I would have laughed about that in the moment. Probably a depressed sigh.
I am really tired of DS's 5:30am wakeup. Why can't he make it to 6 or better yet 6:30? I wouldn't mind it so much if he wasn't still waking up twice during the night - once at 12, and once at 3. While reading today I read that it's actually counter productive to keep feeding babies at night after 4 months. I'm not sure if I'm comfortable denying him food, but apparently they will just make up for it during the day and wa la = great sleep.
I just need him to drop one of the feedings for my sanity. He goes down at 6, then I dream feed him around 9-10, then he still wakes up at 12 and 3 and sometimes more.

I wish mine did too! He used to fall asleep on my husband in bed no problem and it was so easy to get him back to sleep that way and now he is not having any of that. I have to get up and rock him back to sleep in the glider. Just when you think you've figured them out...
lilyelayne feel better! mrsclark731 omg! We didn't have the projectile but we've dealt with the same style of poop. I change him and it's formula poop and 5 minutes later he has a BM poop. flyster oh no! That makes me so sad. Sorry that happened!
I've got to move this kid's bedtime back somehow to avoid a 5am wake up time. It's killing my soul. I don't know how to do this without having a screaming baby meltdown at 6pm when he wants to go to bed but I'm too exhausted to start the day at 5am. Help...

missys, I AM IN THE SAME BOAT. M has a meltdown if I put him down any later than 6-6:30 but then he's wide awake and ready to go at 5am. I don't know how to keep him sleeping longer! Then he likes to take an early morning nap for 2 hours after I'm up and can't go back to sleep.

I was reading your above post just now and thinking "yes! someone knows my pain...yawn."
Just hanging around at home today. Might head to the grocery store for a few things but a boring day otherwise.
My LO has been sucking on his fingers for awhile now but in the last couple of days he's isolated his thumb and wants it in his mouth at all times. He still refuses a pacifier so swapping the thumb out for one has been unsuccessful. How do I stop this from becoming a habit? I pull his thumb out every time I see it and we put mittens on him at bedtime last night. I just do not want him to start this. Ugh.
We went out for my birthday last night even though it's not until next week. Saw Jurassic World. The most unbelievable part of the whole movie is that she wore (white) heels the whole time. Even while running from the T. rex.
misshart00 I saw that yesterday too! Seriously, the shoe thing was really distracting. They even took the time for Owen to be like "gurl those shoes" but she never took them off (even in the middle of the jungle?!). I really wanted someone to hand her some sneakers or something.

My DH has recently given up drinking Mountain Dew. Great thing, because he was drinking like 8 cans a day. Not so great thing, he's SUCH a crab ass without that caffeine. I just want to slap him sometimes.

lilyelayne, I hope you start to feel better and things get back to normal. WittyLittle, I hope they are found soon! I'm guessing there is no spare? flyster, did he scare off the deer or the bobcat or both? That would freak me out! Luckily, the only thing I have to scare off in my backyard are turkeys.
missys & toadandbuggie, I'm in the same boat too. She recently had a few late mornings (slept till 6) but I think it was a fluke. She melts down if we try to put her to bed later than 645. We are going for her 4 month appointment today and I'm sure the doc will tell us to try to drop the MOTN feeding. I can only imagine what this is going to do to her sleep schedule for the next week.
We heard a awful noise and thought it was turkeys!! We get those too. The deer got up after a minute or so after the bobcat ran off. I think he was strangling it and it was passed out or something So hopefully baby was able to go find momma in the woods...we didn't see signs of mom around.
LO is never playing in the woods by himself until he is 18, lol.

A lot of my little south west Jersey town is still without power from our Tuesday storm. The response has been slow/non-existent. People are getting pissed at the governor for not doing anything or declaring a state of emergency to get us help. All of the local news stations are here this morning picking up the story after our Mayor held a press conference calling Chris Christie out. Governor Christie is supposed to officially announce his run for the Presidency tomorrow. I think my little township may make national news over this.

Happy Monday ladies. Seems you all have had some interesting nights DD is a early waker too. Although yesterday she woke up at 8:20 yesterday it was glorious..at the same token she didn't go to sleep til midnight. This morning she was nice enough to wake at 7:20. So I'm sure tomorrow she will be up at her 6:30 wake up.

My pedi didn't mention anything at all about dropping MOTN feedings at his 4 month appt. I know pedis can be so different, but I am sooo ready to drop at least 1 of them. I am usually all about just being patient and ready for his cues, but if eating at night is making him not eat more during the day, then I really need to fix that.
