where is the Sunday spam?

[aggiebug]

Its 9;30 and no spam? that is crazy cakes

[dreemkin]

It's 9am and I just woke up! Buttt I had restless night being in a strange place and all. I also over ate and drank too much jack/diet pepsi last night so my tummy isn't happy with me. I'm getting old My H just flopped over and said slowly, "we just can't do it anymore".

Complimentary breakfast will probably be missed this morning seeing as it ends at 10am. Back to see my precious girls and watch the Bears' season opener!! Bear down!

ETA: this post sounds negative but I had a great time and it was nice to be away from the responsibility of parenthood for a night and enjoy each other's company alone!!

[aggiebug]

dreemkin 9am? That sounds down right crazy. I couldn't do that if I tried lol.(8am was sleeping in preparation baby) I am glad to hear you have had a great anniversary celebration.

Hi! I have been up since 5:30. I got up to feed dd and then couldn't fall back asleep. It could be because I tripped over a toy in the hallway and made her cry, then had to change a poopy diaper and calm her down. So I stayed up catching up on once upon a time. So good! Dd slept after her bottle until almost 8:30. She went to bed at 6 last night. Crazy! I am ordering foam tiles for our little playroom because she hit her head SO hard this am. And some mesh bumpers bc I just can't take her poor little legs getting caught when she's not in a sleepsack.

Hi everyone!!! I'm going to make an effort to be WAY more present... I probably haven't posted in like two weeks because we closed on our house, moved in, and are in deep renovation and DIY land. I feel so so so run down, and on top of it, DS is sleep regressing either because of a now week long cold of because he just plain feels like it.

But hey!!! football and Sunday woo hoo! Sorry girls! Missed you while I was MIA

[lilyelayne]

@holachica that's such a long trip for your H! Hope swim lessons go well.
emilyz320 DS gets his legs caught even when he's in his muslin sleep sack. Going to bed at six is crazy! When is normal bedtime?
jensoprano82 missed you too! Hope DS feels & sleeps better soon.

[lilyelayne]

I almost made spam at 6am when I was nursing DS but didn't. He woke at 12 & 130 but not 330, so, um, maybe an improvement? Didn't need to be fed at 4 so that's definitely better. Nothing much here today. Church, lunch with my grandmother & parents. Typical Sunday.

[emilyz320]

lilyelayne it used to be 7, but I think she has officially dropped her third nap. Yesterday was the fifth day in a row with only 2 naps. I don't think her body has adjusted yet, so she is waking up around 1:30/2 from her second nap and by 5 she is toast. She has been falling asleep in my arms during her last bottle. I'm hoping her body will take the hint and she will wake up from that last nap a little later so she can stay up later.

Skipped church this morning because DH wasn't feeling well. Just been laying around in our pjs all morning instead. S and I just woke up from an hour or so nap. Now he's in the floor trying his hardest to crawl on his hands and knees. He's been army crawling for a couple of weeks now but I am not ready for him to be full on crawling yet. He's getting too big!

[kartish]

badw0lf Oh no, that is awful!

We went out to Peach Days last night and were out to late with the baby. Poor V cried the whole way home. It was fun though, and we got a crinkly blanket and a bookshelf for V.

My brother and Dad were supposed to head this way yesterday. My brother did but his car broke down in Montana and my Dad is headed home to see his family before coming here now. Which I can't really blame him, but I'm tired of him flaking out on me!

[dreemkin]

@holachica I hope that was a typo and you meant rest of the week! If not that is a long time to be away. Sorry

[pitdigger]

Back from vacation! We had a great time doing not very much. I had 3 days of scuba diving and we ferried to St. Barth's one day. We got back super late last night.

If G wakes up, we've got a rugby party to go, otherwise, it's just a lazy recovery day.

I've been trying to organize DS's room today. Packing away little clothes is sad, especially if he only got to wear something once or some not at all. Going through bigger hand-me-downs from my nephew and this nice lady I met at a garage sale to see what we have. We have 21 pairs of 18 month pants. Holy moly!

So far it's working. Still nursing to sleep, but I may not break that until I wean him because he sleeps fine through the night until he's hungry or he's teething and needs comforting. The sleep log is actually a good tool because it turned out our routine was all over the place. We also moved bedtime way earlier in the evening. Unfortunately it means that we have less time to spend with him when we get home from work, but he's sleeping better.

We also do some pick up, put down because he can sometimes sense when we're putting him down and starts crying. We started with the no cry over cio due to silent reflux and not being able to handle the tears and screams. Reflux is basically gone, but we still can't handle the tears and screams.

If in the MOTN he can't be soothed back to sleep with feeding or anything else and wants to play, we leave him in his crib in the dark and let him work out his energy. Eventually he gets tired again and can be soothed (fed) back to sleep.

Not making much progress on naps in the crib at home even though he does nap in the crib at daycare. They'll let him cio if he's tired and can't be soothed and no other kids are sleeping. But they've got a higher tolerance than me. He's got me trained at home.

[aggiebug]

jensoprano82, gah I don't understand why you haven't been around?!?!?! (note sarcasm font used) That sounds like a crazy hectic few weeks!

badw0lf, there is no way I could cosleep with my child. I think it is baby (and parent) dependent. My kid wiggles constantly and likes to wiggle into my side and kick me while she sleeps. NO WAY JOSE!



I just got home from church and tried to do a cacrseat to crib transfer. It was unsuccessful, I noted a poopy diaper when I put her down though so I think I need to wait until H gets home to decide she needs to get up.

[lilyelayne]

mands1125 did your LO ever get over her car seat aversion? We took DH's truck to town today so DS was back in the infant carrier & it made me think of you.

[GeekBeagle]

Ohh I just found out that I won a giveaway for a custom embroidered shirt for DS. I'm excited!

[GeekBeagle]

Actually, looking at the items, I can actually get 2 shirts because my prize is a $50 gift card. Choosing what I want will be hard!

[babycfeb2015]

Sounds like a lot of people have babies waking up at night still-I feel ya ladies! I figure why sleep train if people who have are still getting up. We are usually only up once and a feed normally works so oh well Ill just keep truckin

[dmorgendorffer]

DD has been taking super long naps this weekend! We did grocery shopping and went to the mall to a exchange a shirt for DH and do the pre-order to get the new iphone 6S. Planning to spend the rest of the day vegging out and watching football.

babycfeb2015 we attempted sleep training but it really hasn't stuck. I think we saw some improvement for a while but then with the traveling, illnesses and possibly teething (still no teeth over here) her sleep has been all over. We could probably try again and it might help but I think we're just going to roll with it instead.

Today was so terrible. My H worked overtime so I was alone with LO all day and omg. Her toughest day in so long. The only time she stopped crying was when I started crying. Then she laughed and laughed at me. Am I raising an evil baby or something??

[mels823]

badw0lf, eh I'm not sure. I would hope so because she is 8 months old and still has no teeth, but I've been excusing her fussiness for teething for months now. She had an ear infection last week but that should be all cleared up by now. I don't see any teeth, but I hope that is it because I hope I just don't have a super fussy baby

[lilyelayne]

Why do I even like football

Internet hugs. Hope LO gives you a break tonight.

[mels823]

badw0lf, Thanks, me too!! I am actually so relieved to go back to work tomorrow. I never thought I'd say "is it monday yet???"

Hi guys. I haven't been around much. I hope I didn't miss too much excitement. DS is waking up so much at night and I'm exhausted but can't fall back asleep for some reason. I have been trying to nap when he naps (I feel like a have a newborn again). We just moved him to his crib and are trying the no cry sleep solution, so we will see how it goes. Fingers crossed it works because simply put, I'm miserable right now. Sorry to drag the thread down.

Hope it works well for y'all. Sleep deprivation is an actual torture technique.

[aggiebug]

badw0lf I am sorry you are struggling so much for sleep . I totally understand why are cosleeping. I don't have any tips or advice on how to make it easier to get more sleep while she is in the bed with you. Like I said my child sucks at sharing a king sized bed.

Sending super sleepy and calm vibes to your LO. Sleep is your friend baby wolf!

Week 1 of my first Fantasy Football team(s) update: Ugh, my random ff team did great buuuut in my H's family's league (which I want to do better in) my team did terribly. I was projected to do great with the team I started. Why you no come through??

[mishka29]

mels823, sounds like a rough one! Hugs!
