Well, tiny human, I am glad you pooped. Not so thrilled it happened in the MOTN and required a clothing change as well. However, now that you have pooped and nursed, how about we sleep for about 5 hours? Kthxbai.
A has been sleeping all day...I've had to wake her up for feeds. We put her in the PNP while she is out cold and DH can't even get in bed before she is crying. Sigh...

It appears that our 2 month shots threw off the beautiful sleep routine we had going. I was spoiled. Here's hoping we sleep a few hours! Of course baby is now asleep and I'm wide awake...
2 hours of sleep since waking up at 10a Sunday... and here we are at 1a. I got her down earlier but left her arm out bc she was awake & she's been fascinated with her hands the last few days. She fell asleep but woke up for a min screaming about 10 mins later. She immediately went back to sleep but I decided to swaddle her other arm in. She woke up & now won't go back to sleep my head hurts & I really need her to sleep soon.
After our earlier conversation M went with 2 instead of 3. I let the dog out before grabbing M, when I came out of M's room the dog is back in. Apparently I didn't pull the back door all the way shut. I saw one cat run back in but now have to search for the other two.
Cats are back in, they came to the door when I turned the light on, 30 minutes was enough outside time for them. But there's a dead bird right outside the door! It doesn't look like a cat got it. I saw it when I turned the light on. I normally leave it off when letting the dog in and out so it could have been there hours. I'll leave it for H to deal with since I'm up with M.
I just started swaddling E with his arms down last night. What a difference! Why didn't we do that before?
Crap. Literally. He just had a major poop while nursing.
As I was saying though. He ate around 8:30 and this is his first wake up at 2:15! Amazing. I might actually start getting some sleep if this becomes the new normal.

+1 here. Damn you shots. This is the first time I'm up motn in awhile. My poor baby girl, she makes the most pathetic little whimpering sounds too.
Tmi poop alert: A had an explosive poop while I was holding her yesterday. My wrist was up against her butt for support and it was just this loud, bubbling feeling against my skin. The whole time she's doing it, which was a good ten seconds, I'm just thinking to myself DONT DROP HER, ITS NOT REALLY ON YOU, DONT FUCKING DROP HER, YOURE FINE. and then I almost threw up while changing her. In my defense, it was her second poop of the week. Normally she goes at least once a day.
I'm just a tad jealous of all the kiddos who have started sleeping through most of the night. Thea just went 8:45-2:15, so I know I shouldn't complain, but she also refused to nap after 4:45. And I can almost guarantee she'll be up every 45-90 minutes from now until morning. If I ever get her back to sleep that is.

Just had a half cup of decaf coffee because it sounded good. Too much tannins or something...I MUST HAVE ALL THE WATER. don't let me do that again, you guys.
Add us to the massive poop club.. He woke up, extremely unhappy, nursed for 5 minutes and then took a massive shit and is now lazily eating/sleeping. I dread this diaper..
I'm up for the first time tonight. A slept from 8:40-1:40 which is a good chunk for her. I didn't unswaddle her to feed and am now holding her upright. I'm hoping she stays asleep when I lay her down. We have her two month checkup in the morning and I need more sleep before then.
Hugs to the babies who had shots yesterday and their mommas. I hope it isn't too bad for you today. If your doctor said it was okay to give them Tylenol do it, it helped M with the pain.

Oh I've totally gotten nailed. A's twice-w-week poop is always projectile and can't be contained with a diaper. We put her on a disposable bed pad and hold one side up to "catch" it...learned that the hard way when it shot a foot or so and hit the wall!
We've gotten 4hr stretches for a week or so...tonight is every 1.5-2hrs. Hoping it's a one time thing because of the lip/tongue tie correction and not the new norm!
So sick. This is bullshit. I keep coughing until I throw up so I can't sleep. I just want to live near my mom so she can come over and watch the baby as I can be the sick baby in bed. But noooooo I need to be an "adult" and "adult" my way through this sickness. I need to be "responsible" for someone else.
It's 2:30am and I'm up feeding T. A tula waa posted in my local baby wearing group and I'm actually considering spending the $230 to get it. I've brought up tula's to my DH in the past and he thinks it's ridiculous that they cost so much and that we already have a moby and a carrier from BRU so we don't need another. But it's so pretty. And the moby isn't something I can put her in quickly to run into a store. Would you buy!?
lemon200 sorry you're not only feeling sick, what you have sounds awful and draining. Have you tried hot lemon juice and honey? Something my mom always made me when I was sick. Take lemon juice and dilute it with water (you want it bitter but not so bitter it causes heartburn) and add enough honey to make it palatable. The honey coats your throat so it should help with the coughing and the lemon always 'felt' like it was getting rid of the cold. If nothing else you can make it with a lot of honey to soothe your throat. Hope you feel better.
Baby went to sleep at 9:30. It's almost midnight, and I'm planning Halloween costumes. I know it's my brain coping with my 'going back to work in 9 days' stress, but it's still annoying.
lemon200 - I hope you can get some rest and feel better! Being sick with a baby is awful
shayr - yikes! I wouldn't spend it, but I'm not Tula-obsessed. I won't allow myself to even look at them. I love my Ergo, so I'm not even going down that road!
Up every hour inconsolable unless nursing. Awake the moment I set him in his rnp. I just left the bedroom bc I'm not having a crabby ass DH from DS waking all night. I don't know what's up with this kid. Maybe it's his "leap" a few days early. I'm just so tired tonight I hope I can deal.
And then he smiles at me on the boob and I melt and roll my eyes at myself for being upset at being awake.

Tomorrow is going to be a low stimulation day.
Ugh. Feel better. I would try some honey and sitting in a steamy bathroom. Both will help the cough.

We are not sleeping unless he's touching me. Makes crap sleep for mama. Tomorrow starts 12 days in a row of work for me H...which means I'll get help for 1 hour a day...ugh. I'm exhausted just thinking about it.
astheria "liked" because that's how the last few days have been here. Thankfully little lady gave me a 4hr stretch just now or I wouldn't have made it!
lemon200 I hope you feel better soon. Having to parent and adult while sick is no fun at all.
Finally got a good stretch over here, 9-3. She cried out around 1 and 2 but fell back asleep in less than a minute with no assistance from me. Just hoping she actually goes back to sleep, and if she does my rockish chest doesn't keep me awake!
