She went back to sleep, why can't I?? Now I'm over here pondering what we're going to wear for family photos. The things that keep my brain awake. Ha. I'm tempted to just get up and bake some muffins.
Ugh, why didn't I wash my pump parts yet?? After an amazing 6 hour stretch, I still have a full boob on one side. Guess I will just deal, but dangit!
I accidentally nursed A on the same side twice before putting her down. I woke up with a wet spot on the bed. I went and just hand expressed some into the sink to make myself feel a bit better.
I finally rocked him to sleep a laid him down (after 2 failed attempts) and then I knock the cosleeper with my knee and he's up. Inconsolable. Cmon kid you were just asleep. Please go back to sleep.

isnt it insane how they can go from dead asleep to wide awake and screaming in seconds? It makes no sense to me.
Wish i didnt feel too guilty to wake dh, he can puts baby too sleep after motn feeds in minutes and it takes me an hour, it's sofucking ridiculous. N woke at 3:15 and dh finally woke and offered to help, after i put wide awake but happy baby in pnp so i could pump at 4:45. I am trying to get routine for going back to work next week. I am happy i was able to sleep solid from 10 to 3!

Drives me crazy and this kid is a light sleeper when he's on his own. If he sleeps on us we can talk, watch tv, eat, etc. But put him down on his own and the slightest rustle of fabric will have him squirming awake.

sorry I'm bad at trimming trees. DD isn't that light of a sleeper, but the things that wake her are stupid. Thunder? Nope. Sisters screaming? Just a little wiggle. DH sniffs or my ankles pop? Wide the F awake. Babies are nuts.
Ds1 is sick. Just a cold but his post nasal drip had his stomach hurting all night. Then N decided, hey, 330 is a good time to get up. I think I'll hang out for 2 hours. My 630 alarm came too fast :/ babywearing hike should be interesting.
Well he finally gave me a six hour stretch, as long as he was on my chest. This sleep regression is painful. He used to so blissfully sleep in the rnp at night for 3-4 hours what happened kid?

Ugh, that's the worst. I've done that before and then spent another hour getting A back to sleep. I hope your little one didn't take that long to go back down.

After about an hour of him steadily freaking out more and more I put him in bed with me and just surfed the internet while he slept.
E & I have a long night of crying ahead of us. She will never sleep more than 20-30 mins at a time until the sun comes up. She didn't go down until 9a this morning and we had to get ready to go at 12p. I had work training. Tomorrow I have to be up at 9a to get her ready for babysitter. Then work meeting, pick her up, eat, go to work until midnight. By the time I get home, she'll be ready to stay up all night again. So I probably won't be sleeping until sun comes up Friday morning. I want to cry just thinking about it.
layloo08, he could but it doesn't make a lot of sense with him working during the day and me in the evenings/nights. I would normally have most of the day to sleep when she sleeps but we have a meeting on Thursdays and I haven't been able to sleep today bc of training. It may be better next week when I can go to sleep at 8 or 9a when she does, it's just not possible this week
Hubs thinks he is awesome at swaddles....um...no, you're not! I often find her with a stray arm or 2, kicking like a heathen baby, but I don't want to criticize his method for fear he backs off. Oh the conundrum.
A friend sent me Justin Bieber's new nude pics! Blah blah blah privacy. Holy Hannah the guy is packing! I'm impressed! His douchebag-ness makes so much more sense now!
In my experience a guys level of douchebaggedness has always directly correlated to the size of his junk.
I am so so tired and frustrated. I don't know how to feel better knowing that it's going to be so long before I have the chance to sleep again. I've put her to sleep 3 times now. She screams within 20 mins. Usually when she won't stay asleep elsewhere I can get her to nurse to sleep next to me but her gas is terrible tonight so she's thrashing by the time she's done eating. I'm sitting on the porch crying now while she sits happily wide awake in the mamaroo inside. I'm sorry I'm whining so much tonight but this is the worst I've felt sleep deprivation wise since she was born since I know I'll be up and out from early in the morning until almost 1a tomorrow
Eta I know things will seem so much better once I do get to sleep, but everything feels awful right now.
amberlie, when she wakes up after 20 minutes do you ever just let her cry? E does this sometimes but will cry for 5-10 minutes and then fall back asleep. I don't know if your willing to let her cry a bit but I know with E if I went in right away, she would just wake up fully and we'd have to start the bedtime process over again.
I'm sorry your going through this though!! It's definitely not easy!
lemon200 crying seems to have the opposite effect for us. I've let her cry before if I was in the shower or doing something else where I couldn't get to her right away... she just gets louder and more upset. The longer she cries, the harder she is to console and the longer it takes to calm her down again to sleep. It just seems like I can't win. Picking her up right away wakes her up, letting her cry wakes her up. She just doesn't get tired enough to sleep for any considerable amount of time until 5-9am. The only way to get her to sleep before that is to nurse her, which causes gas and wakes her up within 30 mins.
amberlie I have the opposite problem, which is getting A to nap for longer than 30 minutes during the day. I had success today dealing her and bouncing her on a yoga ball. I would pick her up at the first sign of fussing and bounce her for a few minutes before laying her back down. Is that an option for you? Sorry you're going through this. I hope it gets better for you soon.

+1 for not wanting to scare him off. DH wanted help changing her last night, he needs help just now because she spit up a little bit...so I have to unplug myself from the pump and go get him shit. I somehow manage all of this shit on my own while trying to work, dude.
He just asked me to "try and give her a bath today, if you have time." While I'm working. He's getting off early today and I told him he was more than capable of doing it and he gives me The Look and says that we've been over this. He's afraid to bathe her because he's afraid of her slipping into water. I've told him to just not fill up the tub (I fill it up a couple inches) but he won't do it.
aracale she generally prefers swinging to bouncing but I could try. Usually she will keep screaming until she gets boobs. Thank you for the suggestion!
