The Randoms of Wednesday

[oopsiedaisies]

Lay it all out here.

[elvenqueen]

The twins are tag-teaming me for screaming/fussy days. If it's not one, it's the other... or both.

[oopsiedaisies]

Our first morning without H was successful! DD actually slept in her bed ALL night until 5 am, and considering most nights she would wake up at 1 am or so, and come to our room, I consider this a success. We've been working really hard to keep her out of our room because we don't want DS to disturb her sleep. But at 5 am, H was up and getting ready for work, so I had her just come to me, and hoped for the best. And it worked out perfectly!! DS started stirring around 630 and I just picked him up and snuggled him until DD woke up at 7. I know not all mornings will go this smoothly, but this being our first without H, gives me hope!

My mom will be here around 10 to take DD for a day date to Monkey Joe's and then bring her home for lunch and her nap. She will get her snuggle time in with the baby while I'm putting DD down for her nap.

So. Tired. Ds1 wouldn't go to sleep until 1, baby was up from 2-430, up again right before 6.
Blood sugar was low so I did already eat some chocolate though so that helps.

How I managed to get peed in two times in the same diaper changing session is beyond me. I'm so tired I don't even care that it got all over me & him, I care about the 3 diapers that were wasted.

[flippinchica]

So tired. Baby was up like every hour last night. The in laws are arriving this afternoon. I really hope to get a shower today

[pmcd886]

Today is DS1's first day of preschool. I think I am going to make it with out crying, but my H laughed when I said I thought I would be okay. So we will see. I am so tired! DS1 and 2 have had a snotty coughing cold for almost a week, and now DS3 has it. I spent a couple hours in the steamy bathroom holding him so he could actually sleep. I see lots of coffee in my future.

[elizabethnevadap]

H slept on the couch for the second time last night. His snoring wakes the baby up, whose crying keeps H up.
I feel really disconnected from him; all of my attention goes towards the baby. I guess all of this is part of the adjustment of having a baby..
My head feels really swimmy and fuzzy today. Need. More. Sleep.

DH and I started this morning with a fight. LO has been pretty difficult the last couple days and there's not much sleep happening, but I'm so sick of him complaining. He probably told me 9 times yesterday how tired he was, and he walks around all grumpy/pouty. Dude, how do you think I feel? Plus I get no acknowledgement for cooking dinner, cleaning the house, scrubbing the bath tub, and vacuuming on top of everything. Argh!

Also, it is not a game to see how full you can stuff the diaper pail! That shit is heavy and when it's crammed it's hard to get the bag out... And I'm always the one that does it.

This happened to my mom over the weekend while she was changing Isaac. It was so funny listening to the incident. "He got me with the spray peeps!!" (one minute later) "He got me with the spray peeps AGAIN!!"

Also, I love how my mom calls it "the spray peeps." Stealing that. She was a pretty good sport.

[ampaints]

We're going to run errands today. One is getting special release beer for H. The brewery is really close to the house so I'm hoping to walk down with M.

That is the cutest Grandma thing ever. The spray peeps, lol. I just imagine the sweetest woman ever.

[oopsiedaisies]

Lol at the spray peeps. Totally stealing!

How can I get Jonah to sleep longer stretches? Dumb question, I know.

So DH had been going to bed "early" so he can either get to the gym or help with baby or both. He's not fond of this newborn time, and neither am I, and I haven't woken him to help with Jonah in about a week. He was sick last week so I tried to leave him alone. He's gotten several 8 and 10 hour stretches of sleep.

So last night we had thunderstorms around 3:30 and then Jonah woke up at 4:30. I woke DH up to help with him. He wasn't happy. It took me awhile to fall back a sleep and I woke up at 6 to Jonah crying. I went out to the living room and asked if he wanted me to take him and he practically threw him at me. He was all kinds of pissed because he wanted to sleep.

I'm so tired of him telling me to wake him up and he doesn't mind helping and then him acting hateful towards me or Jonah or both of us. So frustrating.

Tl:dr--DH was a dick this morning when he had to take the baby

[iamthedoctor]

And hugs to several of you guys. Sounds like you're having the same DH issues.

[motownthrowdown]

I feel kind of bad about sleeping through my alarm for the midnight feeding. Amelia was sleeping downstairs with dh (we take turns on the recliner with her if she's refluxy) and he woke up on his own around 3 and came up to get me. This means she slept from roughly 9pm until 3. The normal mom in me is super excited at the prospect of 6 hours in between night feedings, but the nicu mom is worried she isn't eating enough or that her shunt is malfunctioning again.

[bcmomsaysso]

So, I experimented this weekend with my first alcoholic drink while bf. Determined it's not worth it...

Fed baby, pumped for next feeding, drank one glass of wine, got a little fuzzy for a few minutes and then immediately after had a huge headache.
Sister was feeding LO for me and accidentally fed the whole bottle (I had only meant for her to have another ounce or so) which led to an extremely gassy and fussy little girl.
Night ended with both of us exhausted and asleep in bed before 9 lol

[kaeguri]

Sorry everyone had a rough night FIL flies in today so I want to shower and vacuum before he comes. Hopefully E will let me do both. And dry my hair. Hahahaha who am I kidding. She did sleep from midnight to 6:30 then again from 7-10 so there's hope.

[gingerygirl]

We're signing the lease and moving in today!!

[bcmomsaysso]

elvenqueen I'm in the fussy baby boat also. I don't know how you do it with two.

If DD is awake for more than 20 mins or so after feeding she starts getting fussy. Then she won't go back to sleep unless I sit on the edge of the bed and bounce up and down.

The upside, my legs are getting a workout. The down... It makes me sad to see her so grumpy all of the time

Finally! Congratulations!!

[motownthrowdown]

I'm laughing at Amelia and my idiot dog right now. The dog is afraid of her, so she crept up to the swing where Amelia is to sniff her. Amelia can't see her, but started crying. And then started farting. And is now crying, taking a breath, and farting between breaths. The dog is terrified.

Wow, good sleeper! I'm so jealous!

[lemon200]

FFTC: I get a little mad when I see people having such wonderful long stretches of sleep. I know it's jealousy but I'm sitting here, still waking up every two hours, her being impossible to put down and I'm still bleeding at 5 weeks PP (tmi). I love the newborn phase for how little she is but I'm ready to move past it.

[esgrunner]

lemon200, solidarity, sister! I am with you on the frequent night wake-ups too. We have another weigh-in in about an hour and I haven't been this nervous in a long time. Please, please, please. Let him have gained weight!

It is ridiculous how little awake time they can actually handle before they turn into inconsolable monsters! I might have to steal your bed bouncing technique, that could work well with two.
