Weekend Edition MOTN

[mrsmonogrammed]

Sleep babies, sleeeeeep!

[mrsmonogrammed]

Could we possibly be in some sort of growth spurt right now? She'll be 12w Monday.

After her epic night last night (7:30pm-6:35am!) she also took 2 fairly lengthy (for her) naps today on top of her regular quick naps. I'm really hoping this didn't mess up her usual MOTN since my H is at a concert and won't be home to help if she wakes up a lot:(

V broke out of his swaddle 3 times last night, so I went and bought him a bigger one today (I did order the Zipadee Zip that I talked about in a different thread recently, so we'll transition to that in another month and I'll report back) . Hoping this one will get him back to STTN (we were up 2x last night). Still in the napper inside the PnP, that part seems to be going well!

FFFC- I'm super excited for you to get your zipadee zip and give us a full review;) hope V gives you good stretched tonight!

Probably going to be up all night. Baby is sick. Upper respiratory. Should I have her sleep in her bouncer or Mamaroo instead of her bassinet so she is elevated?

DB woke up early for his first feeding which made me realize it was hot in his room, which made me realize the AC wasn't working. Seems to be back on now, hoping it stays. Our heater broke during one of the coldest times last winter so of course the AC would go out during one of the hottest times!

Also, I'm sleeping like shit lately. Can't fall asleep or go back to sleep after the first stretch (or after I wake to pump). So tired during the day, but awake at night.

3 month growth spurt? My DB has always napped well, but is definitely sleeping more right now too. Like 12 hours at night and 4 or more during the day.

[carolyngrace]

Oh, also I just realized the last time DH and I got it on was last Saturday. So he's definitely going to want something tomorrow. I reaaaally need sleep because that doesn't sound fun right now.

[pghtruelove]

J is sleeping so well but I can't because I'm worried about her sick! I feel like I did when I just brought her home, like I need to stay awake and watch her all night!

I'm sorry J is sick:( did you end up using the swing or bouncer for sleep?

I actually ended up using the RnP. Since she switched to the bassinet I totally forgot about it! She looks so peaceful and cuddly in it! She seems to be sleeping well and not coughing or breathing weird! Hopefully this passes fast!! My nipples are killing me me, we nursed whenever she wasn't sleeping. Please let it pay off!!

Oh I hope you get a bit of a break!

MH and I have an arrangement where he'll change and rock t back to sleep after I nurse him, esp if I work the next morning, so I can get back to sleep asap. Well last night we got into a bit of a heated discussion about our weekend plans. He's essentially ditching hanging with my parents and going to his dad's place 4 hours earlier than we originally decided. This irritates me, esp since my parents always invite his mom and step dad over or his dad and step mom so that we can combine visits. As a result, my parents always get the least amount of visiting time. So we are apparently going to spend most of Sunday apart, which to me defeats the whole purpose of spending time together on a holiday weekend. Anyways, after telling him that I'm not waking up early to go to his dad's house at 8 instead of noon on sunday, I went to bed. I don't know how much later he was up, but when I tried to wake him up to change T, he told me that he was too sleepy to get up and fell back asleep. So after I changed him and got him to sleep, I'm now wide awake and have to be at work in less than 5 hours while my idiot husband is snoozing away and has the day off tomorrow. Fuck my life. I'm secretly hoping that T gives him a little grief while I'm at work.

I hope MH realizes that I'm going to be sleeping on our way up to our parents if I expect to be functional. There's no way I'm going to be driving up there after work and letting him "recover".

Oh and did I mention that his dad is a bit of a racist and while he tolerates my presence, he normally just whisks MH away to do 'guy stuff' and I just kinda hang around and wait for them to be done.

Sorry that was a long ramble and probably not coherent.

Well my brothers wedding was tonight, I was a bridesmaid so that was fun and stressful and LO was beautiful and SO managed to get her there in one piece and then dropped a bomb that he was road tripping 6 hours away with his friend MOTN to pick up a car that he (the friend) bought, leaving at 2AM?! Oh, hello to you too?! I literally just said "Imagine if I came up to you and said the same exact thing.. how crazy would that sound?? YEAH! MUST BE NICE!"

So anyway, baby girl did great at the wedding but was definitely overstimmed and passed around to 50 gazzill relatives and we didn't get home until 10. She slept on and off during the wedding, was down 11-2 here at home, and just had been up at 2 while my darling SO was up getting ready for his darling road trip. My oh my is he in the dog house. I cannot wait for MY surprise road trip upon his return.

"OH! SO! My sister and I are leaving for a roadtrip in the middle of the night TONIGHT! Have fun with that. Bye!" What??

I feel ya! If I don't go back to sleep immediately after nursing, I'm usually awake for at least an hour. And then I'm exhausted during the day. It blows

Oh my god, I would want to throat punch my SO if he did that. But, I'm feeling pretty violent towards him anyways tonight, so I may be overreacting

I mean, a simple "Hey, my buddy asked me if I could come with him on a 6 hour (each way) drive to pick up a car he just bought. Leaving tonigt at 2AM. I know it sounds crazy but what do you think?" Id have been like "Wow Im jealous, go ahead!"

Its the lack of respect in the just fuckiing going and not running it by me. Like, you dont need my permission but a heads up would be nice!

Must be nice to be able to just up and leave on some crazy, last min road trip! Yea, not even getting a courtesy heads up is terrible! Maybe you should go on a spontaneous 12 hour spa day...

[erbear]

We were down to one wake up a night and now we're back to two. I'm also blaming a growth spurt/leap! Growth spurts and leaps are convenient to blame when things are different.

She's being a lazy nurser and my clogged duct isn't budging. I should stay up to pump it but I was in a deep sleep when she woke up and my allergies are bugging me, so I just want to sleep again.

[jessila]

We are finishing packing up for the beach. This of course means Owen slept like crap and so did I. He slept 10-12, 1-230, and 3-515. Luckily he gets to go sleep in the car but I'm not a car sleeper. Hopefully the trip (6+ hrs) isn't too terrible.

[baytosa2013]

Just woke up and about had a heart attack! DB was stirring in the pack n play because its her normal feeding time. I went to get her and she had rolled over and was sleeping on her tummy! My excitement from her rolling just turned me back in to petrified first time mom again.

[mrsmonogrammed]

Charlotte did great tonight! Woke up around 4:45 so I stuck a paci in her mouth while I went downstairs to grab a bottle...when I came back up she was asleep! She slept until 6:05 and is up eating now:)

[alayne926]

S slept well lastnight (9-4:40) but I think she might be getting a cold. She spit up some mucus after her bottle this morning and sounds like she's congested and keeps sneezing. I need to get some saline spray.

DS (2.5) was in our bed this morning and woke up after I came back from feeding S. After trying to convince him it was still night time, we are up. I've been up since 4:40, it's going to be a long day. Really hope nap times align today!

[carolyngrace]

My babe is also a little sick. Lots of coughing and sneezing.

But his last stretch was 4-8am, which is long for the last one of the night. So thankful because that means I actually got 7 hours or so total. Feeling functional.

[nchauhan]

I hope these colds clear up soon for you ladies!


I'm at work, trying to stay awake after not being able to fall back asleep. At least MH woke up early and took care of the dog and packed up my pumping stuff to save me some time he was feeling bad that he didn't wake up and help last night. Hopefully we get up to our parents house at a decent hour and T sleeps ok in the car!

Jules slept through the night wonderfully! Woke up once at 6ish to nurse and then again at 9 and has been back to sleep ever since! Haven't heard any coughing or sneezing yet today but she sounds congested still.

[nchauhan]

@bubbs119, so soon?? Poor little babe!

You guys. I keep using growth spurts as an excuse to eat oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Then tonight I baked chocolate chip cookies and also told myself another growth spurt. Nope. Nope. Nope. I'm just stuffing my face.

I keeping using BFing as an excuse to eat whatever and however much I want. This is bad. I lost all my weight in like a week and a half and now I've gained most of it back. I need to be better.

I haven't weighed myself in a while. I'm too scared. But def use BF as an excuse to eat junk foods.

[alayne926]

budders, same boat except I got up to feed S and now I can't go back to sleep.

[pghtruelove]

Jules was just screaming in her sleep.... I was so worried (especially since she has a cold) I woke her up. She was sleep screaming for like 30-45 seconds. Most terrifying thing ever!
