sunshinelady15. I read/came across that that last night too. It especially it's home because that was almost us. Had my appointment not been when it was it's possible I wouldn't be snuggling him right now.
I am SO thankful that your birth story was different from hers and that you had your appointment when you did! Hugs
RandomName no position seems to help much. She rolls onto her side at night and continues grunting while kicking me furiously as well. Then I'll put her on her tummy on my chest and she tries to climb me with her legs. The grunting only stops when all the gas or poop is out!
I take care of the baby all day, when DH got home from work LO was sleeping, so I made us dinner, I let DH go nap for an hour and a half while I watched LO, after he held him for a bit I took LO into the bathroom with me for a while, then I changed and fed and held him for another 45 mins. It's almost 10:00 now and I need to go to bed because I'll be up in a few hours and probably end up sleeping in a chair the rest of the night... So why do I feel guilty that the baby is crying for DH and I'm not stepping in to help?
I spent a good hour and a half dragging all of DD's clothes out of her closet and dresser. I boxed up everything that's too small or i never out on her and am going to send it to my niece. I organized it all and put it back.
Didn't realize what an anxiety trigger seeing a sleeping baby post would be for me earlier. I keep checking to make sure E is breathing in his rock and play. DH's mom had a similar thing happen with her first baby.
I am hoping E sleeps better tonight. Last night he would only sleep on me again. It was exhausting. I need him to sleep in the rock and play at least so I can feel comfortable being in bed Again. DH is beginning to think I don't want to sleep with him.
Also, are rock and plays safe for night time sleep? I sure hope so bc he hates his bassinet/laying flat.
I really can't handle being up all night. I am feeling progressively more sick. I can't have E sleep next to me bc I'm feverish so I'm getting way too hot & sweaty with her by me. I've already tried putting her down in her swing twice. Crying within 1 minute. I really think I need to ask my SO to stay home today so he can help me tonight but they have a lot of work to do so idk what I should do.

See if he can stay home and help

Everyone is asleep but me. I can't sleep for some reason. Ethan started to stir a little so I decided to feed him. It had been over 4 hours since he ate and my boob was staring to leak.
runningmommy519, I did. He says there's no way he can stay home today, only Friday. I'm going to have my mom call me when she gets up so I can see if she can work from home.
I have one boob that constantly hurts. Clogged ducts all the time. And I'm not one for cursing usually but today has sucked. So. Fuck you clogged duct. Just fuck you.
Also. I came home from my hour and half alone to find Eliza screaming her head off and H somewhat freaking out. She is NOT a cryer. Seems suddenly gas deliveries ated. She ate ahead of schedule and we got her calm enough to sleep. Woke up screaming again an hour early of her feeding so we feed her early again and gave her some gas drops. Fingers crossed this resolves itself ASAP. I'm pretty close to giving her a couple of bottles of formula to see if it's BM related. DS seemed to do the same thing. And I'll be damned if I have one more thing about pumping to stress out about. This will be the last straw.

Bashed my elbow on the dresser corner beside my bed after storming through the house in a fit of rage to stop something from clinking in the dryer as I was going to sleep. 6 hours later and it is hurting so bad.
On the positive side, O just got fed by H after a 5 hour stretch of sleep. Now we can get another 3 before having to be up. The past few nights I have gotten H to feed MOTN while I pump and while he may not enjoy it very much, it is working for me!

wildermom I do not want to give you anything else to worry about, but when Amelia needed her shunt revision, she was crying and screaming off and on all day. She's also not a crier. I hope it's something easy, but I thought I'd mention it. I'm sure you do these things like I do, but fontanel check? Sunset eyes?

Soooo I didn't know that you are supposed to use saline before trying to suction out boogers. No wonder I can't get anything out. Looks like I'll be stopping by Walgreens on my way home tomorrow. Terrible mom award goes to me today.
Taking A in to the pediatrician in the morning about her sutures. Maybe they can give me some saline to get me through.

Rnp is advertised by fisher price as a safe place for baby to sleep. My pediatrician recommended it for us and she has been sleeping in it for the last month. That being said, if you Google it it looks like the issue is controversial. I just mad the mistake of doing so and now am deciding whether or not I want to click on some of the links to read about it. She has been sleeping so well in it...

Welp, finally broke down and took Sudafed after nothing else cured my sinus headache. Felt better quickly, so it was worth it... we'll see how much I pay with a decrease in supply today.
The last 24 hours have been rough. I'm exhausted. And it seems like after a 4.5 hr stretch tonight we aren't going to do much more sleeping. I'm not sure I can handle this without an emotional breakdown.
ajetter I feel you. We got 2 hrs 45 min of sleep, and that's the most she's given me at night in quite some time. Sitting here fighting my eyes open while nursing. In fact, the main reason I'm typing right now is to help stay awake.
What's been going on the past 24 hours for you that's made it so rough?
We slept 3.5 hrs. I am amazed. Let's hope this becomes routine. Eating now, so I am hoping for another good stretch after. Fx.
And with the rnp, we moved the fuzzy puppy head up bc he kept turning his head into it. I was afraid he we turn too far and cover his little nose. He did however just wake up with s wet onesie. It doesn't smell so I dunno if his diaper leaked or if for some reason he had sweats. After he nurses I'm going to grab the thermometer to check him.
carabassa ouch. Less than 3 hours definitely sucks. I suppose I should really enjoy that 4.5 hour stretch!
The night before I ended up being up for the day at 4am. And it was just a busy day with activities and a doctors appointment. But the worst is after my oldest gets home from school. Thea fights sleep like crazy but fights being worn as well. She screams because she's over tired. But my other two were fighting like crazy. I was desperately trying to get Thea to sleep but the other two kept physically fighting and coming in and out of the nursery crying and I just felt like I was failing all of them.
Usually after a rough day or night I'll get a good night of sleep out of her the next night. Not the case this time. My husband only works a half day today so I won't be on my own with all three. Hopefully that helps reset things around here.

Nope, I'm totally with you on that. Fontanel looks great, eyes look good. Pretty sure it was all gas. She was loud and crazy until about 4am but seemed to chill out after that. Fed without issue at 5. Babies are weeeeeird.
But is it okay that I'm a little bitter? No such thing as a fussy baby without freaking out about shunt failure. And I know there will be legit false alarms on the future where we rush in and then feel like dummies when she's just gassy or colicky or something.

I know! Everytime she doesn't finish her whole bottle (they always ask about feeding issues) or cries for no reason, or sleeps a decent amount of time, I'm always worried about shunt failure. I'm looking forward to when she can talk and tell me she has a headache or whatever.
Slept with A in the bed again and got about 8 hours of sleep. I shouldn't complain, but man it gets uncomfortable sleeping in the same position all night. Also her latch at night is lazy and hurts my nipples.
Well I finally have a sleeping baby. The only problem is that he is sleeping on my chest. I need to move him so I can sleep, but I don't want to wake the I need mommy beast.
