I want to know what happened to my 7-8 hour straight sleeper! Second night in a row up after 4 hours and second night in a row I couldn't pump - and I have to leave her all day Saturday. Into my stash I go...

3rd night on a row of falling asleep and staying asleep in my arms/on me but the second I put her down she's up and upset. Everything that is supposed to calm a baby she hates and she's gassy ALL the time. It seems like she's happy or sleeping for short periods of time during the day and the rest of the time she's terribly unhappy. She's the sweetest most lovable thing in the world but she's is such a difficult baby and this new night thing is driving me insane. After 3 days in a row I'm coming up on nonfunctional. To ice the cake I have a job interview tomorrow for a job I don't want but need because the job I love doesn't work with our family anymore. And bonus! She won't take a pacifier anymore either.
I just wanted to say thank you to all of you ladies who offered support and good wishes for my friend. Sadly she ended up losing her baby girl. I'm absolutely heartbroken for her.
I'm so sorry and broken hearted for your friend. :-( that is a loss that no one should ever have to experience. My thoughts will be with her and her family.

Every last word of this is Owain the last 3 days. I'm sorry you're going through it! He's so gassy and upset and awake non-stop. Never had a night as bad as last night. Woke up screaming with gas at 3, wouldn't go back down n wanted to writhe and cry in my arms all night from there, eating every hour. I'm exhausted.
I'm sorry you guys are having a rough time. M also is waking up closer to 12/1 instead of his usual 3/4. He's gassy a lot and seems like the awake happy time isn't as long as it could be. I'm just waiting for him to get a bit older for his stomach to get stronger. FX it gets better for you both from here, though seannemairi and Joolschweets.

I know they say misery loves company but I wish none of us had to go through it! Good news is, I pounded a redbull before my interview and I think it went really well. My husband had the balls to say how tired he was when he got home and promptly took an hour and a half nap while I fed the pea and tried to get her toots out. Then I got a 15 min nap. I dreamt of punching him in his stupid face. Then I made him clean the bathrooms when he woke up. So I kind of won.

Are we living duplicate lives? My H came home t 5:30 and went to take a nap. It's 7 and he's still sleeping. I'm just thankful my parents came over half an hour ago to take him on a walk so I can eat dinner in peace.
Bluedaisy I am so sorry about your friend and her baby girl. It is so hard to see a friend in so much pain. My best friend just lost her baby at 13 weeks. She is completely heartbroken. They did some testing after the D&C to see if it was a chromosomal issue, and also found out it was a baby girl. I wish I could take away her pain.

Men are so annoying. I didn't get woken. Up by a baby or even my sore face from my root canal(btw if anyone has any tips on how to help with the pain Advil isn't cutting it)no I get woken up by my boyfriend yelling at his friends while playing video games. I'm gonna kill him.

Yes!! Last weekend DH was laughing and yelling at 3am. Woke me up right after I fell asleep MOTN. He definitely heard about it. And plus, STOP assuming I'll do the 7am shift on the weekends!

I'm tempted to let the baby cry for like 5 mins when she wakes up this morning to nurse so he is woken up. The only reason I won't is because then she won't go back to sleep.
5:07 am here. This baby has been up since 3:00 playing with my boob. He isn't nursing just laying on me with it in his mouth and playing. Every attempt to move results in screaming, which is what he's doing now because DH just took him away to take over so I can sleep. Except I can't now.
What happened to the kid that was sleeping for eight hours at a time? I miss that kid.
GUYS-OWEN ONLY WOKE UP TWICE LAST NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And, it's almost 8am and he's still asleep. He fussed a little around 7:15 and went back to sleep.
We've been having crapola sleep for the last two weeks with waking up at minimum 4 times and at max 7. So maybe he hit the 4 month sleep regression before he was 3 months old. The internet said it might be possible. So I'm going to pray that it is and it won't happen a month from now.
There is hope that I won't be quite as much of a zombie when I go back to work Monday.

Hahah it's like they know what we do but somehow think their normal person "tired " is comparable to our "I want to maul you like a lion for speaking" tired. NONAPSFORHUSBANDS! Ok now I'm just being mean. But dammit I want a friggin nap too!

I know that feel. When she's gassy, hunter likes to have it in her mouth suctioned as tightly as possible while simultaneously grabbing a huge handful of it with her ninja deathgrip, pulling it out of her mouth. It's like she challenging herself to see what's stronger, her mouth or her hand. I'm always the loser.
On our third pair of pjs and second sleep sack for the night/morning. Ugh. Even went up a diaper size and still shot up the back!
Just curious, do you use huggies? Until we switched to pampers a couple weeks ago, literally every poopy diaper was a blowout, even when there wasn't that much in it. A friend of mine who had a baby a week after me had the same issue.

What she said. We use Pampers at the bottom end of each size then switch to huggies when he's a little bigger but the same size. The Huggies have an elastic waistband in the back which are great for catching the poop!
Unfortunately, we're at the point where we need to switch to huggies and I have almost an entire case of pampers that are already opened.

Yes, currently using Huggies. Pampers do seem to work better for us, he just seems to size up in them faster and then the cost goes up too. We also received several larger sized boxes of Huggies at our shower and was trying to get through them. They had been fine except an occasional leak, but not anymore! Gonna have to suck it up and go back to Pampers. It is worth it!

Yes, I have noticed the different brands fit better at different times! I feel you on the open case, I've hesitated and second guessed myself about opening a size or brand. Fortunately I found a local FB baby sale group, diapers always fly off of there.

Do you think Pampers are pretty true to the size listed? I want to buy a pack of sposies to have just as backup for DC and have no idea what I'm doing...
dogmama22, I think you should be good with Pampers. I also use Target's Up&Up diapers because they are cheaper and haven't caused issues for us. Except for those two brands, every other kind of diaper we tried had problems.

Target up and up diapers are great!! We use those too. We also use huggies and pampers. We aren't really brand loyal to anyone.

We're definitely going to have to give those a try!
