So I just got my longest consecutive stretch of sleep since Ava was born- seven hours! I usually get that each day, but broken up into chunks. But consecutively? I feel amazing! Is it crazy to just go ahead and start my day at 5 in the morning? I have been up since 3:30 and just put her back down. She will probably sleep for another hour or two. I'm thinking I could pump, shower, eat breakfast in peace...oh, the possibilities.
Well we've regressed to feedings every 1.5-2 hrs, hoping it's a leap. Mommy's tired so eat quickly and go back to sleep. Ha.
Do you have the wonder weeks app? I swear it seems to be spot on with Allison.
+1 on the wonder weeks app. We are within a few days on it. DS has been regressing to about every 2 hours but only at night. Which makes for an exhausted mama. It is only alleviated by him sleeping on my chest in our recliner. I am hoping it passes soon and we can get some sleep in bed again.
I think I've messed my supply up by pumping too much (2-3times a day) and him feeding so often... I never feel empty and I'm almost fully engorged after two hours. Any suggestions? I'm calling LC tomorrow I guess.
Are you pumping to build a stash? If not maybe just pump once a day. I had major over supply issues but now I just pump once MOTN because she usually only takes one side and it has helped with engorgment.
Yeah, pumping for stash and to replace one feed so H can give him a bottle at bedtime. I'll cut out the second pump session for the bottle but I need the stash..
Yelp, DH and I tried to have sex. Complete failure. Now I feel bad.
DH and I have only had sex 4 times since Allison was born (she's 10 1/2 weeks old). One of those was a big fat failed attempt. Don't feel bad mama, at least you tried. Have fun tonight zonagirl and Happy Anniversary! ;0)

we have tried 0 times in 10.5 weeks. I was finally ready, but got my pp period that lasted 2 days and is now back. One day we will try.

I just got the book actually! They say it's from due date, not birth date and she was super fussy last week so I thought she hit her 5 week one then (she's five weeks tomorrow but was born a week late) but maybe it's now.
Also she as of this past MOTN refuses my right side. Don't get it!

I just got it and he's in leap 2 and it predicted the behavior we're dealing with perfectly (namely wanting to nurse forever but not actually eating is a big one this week).
Midnight. 4yo ds is still awake because he can't breathe through his nose and he has a fever. Hell hath no fury like a preschooler with spd who's sick. Won't take medicine (the consistency freaks him out) and he knows when we put it in soda or something. He's basically been either whining or screaming (legit screaming) all day. I need a drink and I need to sleep.
Oh we failed so hard tonight. Tried to get him to sleep without a swaddle because he hates it so much (screams as soon as put it on and then I have to spend another 30 consoling/feeding him to calm him down) and it looked good. H laid him down and he Immediately put his hands above his head and fell asleeo. I thought hell.if that's how he wants to sleep of course he hates the swaddle. 50 minutes later he wakes up screaming, I feed him from both sides twice. 2 hours later we've tried the halo swaddle (thinking it's a good in between in tightness) and he screamed. Then we tried the moms on call swadddle. He screamed but went down for 40 minutes. Woke up screaming and nothing is quieting him but my breast. So tired. After last night of only getting bits and pieces of sleep and tonight's sleep I am so exhausted. So tomorrow we're back to the regular swaddle because at least then I get a 2-3 hour start.
packmomma It always sucks trying something new at night.. You never know if it'll be good or bad..
Have y'all tried just a regular swaddle with a blanket (we use the one from the hospital) but putting his arms out from the beginning? N sleeps with his arms above his head so we just keep them out. Granted, has usually kicked his feet free by the time he's up for a feed.
2a. Just got home from work. A 60+ yr old toothless man tried to get in my car after asking me if my bf treats me well. Woman kissed me on the cheek & left lipstick print. I don't like being touched. Hoping E is in the mood for sleep tonight.
I don't like when a 2 hour stretch follows a 5 (mom only got maybe 3 as part of that). I would prefer another longer stretch. Soooooooo tired. K is in bed with me. H ended up in bed with C After he came out of his room crying.

Creepy. I don't like being touched either. So hell no to the lipstick print. Ick.

We've been getting longer stretches to start the night (6-7 hours, woot!), but why does it have to be followed by being up for 1.5-2 hours?! Get your ish together girlfriend. We're moving in the right direction, but come on!!

Where do you work ? Sorry if I missed it earlier ?
Laverne I work for a marketing company that represents a tobacco brand so I'm mostly in bars or gas stations
degree completion can't come soon enough. I was always DD, being around drunks constantly sucks, feel your pain, sorry.
Yes! Only 2 more months. Most drunk people I meet are annoying. Or obnoxious like the 2 I mentioned. There's a big football game at the state fair this weekend (TX vs OU) so there are even more drunk people than usual!
H is my frigging rock tonight. He took W after I fed him and rocked him for 40 minutes in the other room so that I could sleep. After the crappy start W was determined not to go down in his cosleeper so I asked H to just rock him for 20 minutes so I could nap. Then he rocked him for 40 minutes. I know he's exhausted too and it must have been a struggle to stay up but he did. He then made me oatmeal and set me up in the living room to nurse and hang out with W. He just made up for last night.

I get so jealous when I read about all your spouses who actually help MOTN. Mine will not do it, the ONLY attempt he's made so far was the swing drop I mentioned yesterday
