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

I rely on my boobs so much. Making noise MOTN? BOOBS. Needs to calm down and sleep? BOOBS. Needs comfort? BOOBS. I have no mothering skills except boobs.

+1. Sadder here since she doesn't transfer milk well, so nursing is purely a hobby of hers.

Omg, this is me. I have a baby that just looooves my boobs, and it always seems to be exactly what she wants. I have been making more attempts to soothe her otherwise, but I'm lazy, soooo....BOOBS!

I told H I would have the laundry folded and put away before he got home in the morning. It doesn't look like it's gonna happen. Baby is asleep so I really don't have an excuse.....im just being lazy. O could just tell him that baby required all of my attention...its not like he would know right?

I'm so glad I came to my mamas for the night but I hadn't realized how much of a routine we are in. It makes me happy actually. Tonight may turn to be shit, but N fell asleep around 9:15 without eating. That's the usual time I put him down after his last feed. I woke him up and had my mama entertain him to keep him up until his last feed of tonight since timing got messed up because of my drive here. FX tonight isn't a total bust. Changing diapers on the floor will be swell too..

I'm normally out like a light after motn feeds, but the twins were up at 2am for quick feeds, straight back down at 2:30, and it's nearly 3:30, and I'm still just lying here wide awake, catching up on randoms.
Just about woke DH up to get him to stop hogging the bed as I thought I felt his foot moving across my legs. But it felt furry, so I realised our cat has been under the covers with us and was crawling out to come up for air. He is fucking loving it that the twins are back in the crib and he's allowed to sleep with us again.

DH is asleep on the couch after watching the US/Mexico game. I'd leave him there except he is freaking deaf and I can hear the tv in our bedroom at a level I would typically watch tv at. How is he not awake with that volume? I can't tune this out and after A is done nursing will have to go get him. Boo.

Yep. It doesn't help that W is a huge comfort nursed and that whipping out a boob makes smile.
Is this the thread where it came up about what we call each other? Well my H calls you all the"Orange Ladies" or the "Orange people" because of the app colors, haha.

Alexis slept from 11-4, I can handle that except the toddler woke up around 2, came to our room and wouldn't let anyone but me cuddle her back to sleep. I guess at least she fell back to sleep quickly and it wasn't a repeat of last night when she was up from 1-330.
So much damn spit up. She was refusing to go back to sleep and fussing so I laid her across my lap. My shorts are now soaked. Yay.
Also, why is online shopping in the MOTN so rewarding? like maybe DH won't know that I bought four new dresses for DD1, a play teepee and some new headbands for DD3 because he was asleep while it happened? Haha.
Annnnd she just bailed the other leg of my pants. JUST STOP PUKING.

OMG!!! There was seriously the loudest bang. I thought our house got broken in to, ended being the popcorn in s metal tin fell. How did the husband not wake up???! And of course it's the first night in a while that he hasn't put the alarm on. I'm awake now :/

I really think N could STTN. He is such a lazy eater when he does get up and I've noticed as soon as I pick him up he'd be content and go back to sleep. Ugh. I let him whine and fuss to see if he'll go back to sleep but get him when he cries. Just don't know if I could do CIO. Not yet at least.
Just tried to nurse side lying because it's 5:20 and I'm tired...usually I only nurse this way at our early morning feeding when I'm more awake and it's a bit light outside. A was so pissed and I could just imagine her being like "Mom, why are you being so lazy?" So now I'm sitting straight up in bed because she refused to latch with me lying down. Not cool kid.

I hate that "will the whining become something more" moment. I always hope she falls back asleep on her own because I'm usually tired haha

Yes this and W does the content thing when I pick him up too. I usually put him next to me at that point where he either decides to sleep or wakes up to eat. I don't think he's ready to sttn yet though because he is by no means a lazy eater when he does wake up. What kind of sleep chunks are you getting? We're still at around 3-5 between feedings at night.
Ugghh, dd fell out of bed again and it took forever to settle her. Then baby boy was up every single hour. Not hungry or anything just wanted to coo and laugh at me. And dd also got up an additional 3 times.
Now all kids are sleeping and I am up. I am overly cranky from lack of sleep this week with a shitty attitude. And I might have been the super mean mom last night to dd because of it. I do feel bad.
