Thanks guys! I am having emergency surgery to remove my gallbladder here in a few hours. I'll be here overnight and hopefully they won't need a second surgery tomorrow. I miss my baby!
They did get me a pump to use. My mom has to go get me some more collection tubes at home since my H only grabbed a few. I'm really glad I was ahead!
Does anyone successfully dream feed? LO fell asleep around 8:45 and I'm considering staying up until 10:30ish to try topping him off in hopes he sleeps a bit longer. I'm hesitant because his first round of sleep is the longest (4ish hours) and if it backfires and he starts waking every 2 hours afterward, I'll miss out on my best chance for rest.

Occasionally successful with dream feeding...and she usually only eats for about 10 minutes before she conks back out. It's nice because she sleeps about 5/6 hours, buts it s a delicate balance of not waking her too much and having to do the whole bedtime process over again!

Personally I wouldn't mess with the longest stretch of sleep. And it's possible even if he goes right back down he'll be up again in 2 hours anyway...

I agree i wouldn't mess with the longest stretch either. its a really good sign that your LO can do a long stretch this early on so it will probably mean that they will drop the first feed on their own
Aaaaand of course: I lay a full, sleeping baby down in his RnP and go brush my teeth, only to have him wide awake and crying when I return. I think tonight is going to break me.
ETA I just put him back down and it just happened again. I am so fucking tired and just want to lay in my bed and sleep.

Please child, enough with the flailing limbs. Your belly is full, your diaper is clean. Sleep. Please.
Also, is so windy here it sounds like a blizzard. I do not like being reminded of winter, but I love curling up snug in my bed during a blizzard... I'd love to curl up and sleep now! If only someone would cooperate.

I hope that they don't need to do the 2nd surgery,, but yay for s happy update!
AFM, I'm up for the 1st pump. 1st time not waking DD up to eat a bottle at the same time. Either she'll wake up on her own before the next pump, or I'll definitely wale her then!
Up for the first feeding after baby girl was so hard to put down tonight. I tried from 8-10 and she finally gave in-I think overtired and hot were the culprits. I'll take the 4 hour stretch she gave me though! Took my overfull boob like a champ, a quick diaper change and went right back down. Hoping to be good until "morning". DHs alarm at 530 would be ideal!
First stretch was 3.5 hours, so not bad! Hoping we aren't up with gas from 3-5 again today...
I'm currently sitting here pumping to try to empty my right side because I think is might have a clogged duct. It's very sore and tender to the touch on the side...hoping that's all it is and it clears quickly!

If she sleeps through to the next pumping I'd say the crib was a huuuge success!

I'm up after a measly 2-hr stretch. Half of which I spent debating getting out of bed because I was hungry and couldn't sleep, and half of which I had disturbing nightmares during. And only 2 hours until dh's alarm starts going off. FML.

Aaand I'm up with DB before dh's alarm. Wow, this night sucks!!
So glad dd is giving me a better night than lastnight. I think I would have lost it if she was up from 215-445 again. She's currently letting the bottle settle and then we're heading back to bed.
