A gave me a 5 hour stretch! Of course now she'll probably be up every 1-2 hours. Still, I'll take a5 hour stretch! Going to try to lay her down again now. Send all the luck!
Little girl refused to go back down after getting up at 2. At 5 I was still doing the pick up, put down to get 15-20 min of sleep. I burped, changed swaddles, tried co-sleeping...she was having none of it. At 5:30 I gave her to dh who was getting ready to leave for work and said "pat her and put her in the swing, I am taking a shower". She is now sleeping in the swing and i am gulping coffee.
So MIL was talking to her mom the other day and apparently her mom is pissed that we haven't brought A by to see her. Now, Mil's mom has not even bothered yet to call us. Since May. She hasn't called DH for literally years...it's been around 10 years. Anyway, she lives in an assisted living place (germ heaven, no thanks) and we found out yesterday that all the nasty sores she's covered with are STAPH INFECTIONS. At first, it was just "because of my diabetes" (she doesn't actually have diabetes) and then it was "because I don't move much" and the real story is that she doesn't take care of herself (proper bathing, bathroom hygiene, etc), so however she got them, they got infected, she won't take meds/cream/whatever for them (no idea why) and now they are staph. Wtf.
I am really amazed at the fact you haven't flat out throat punched anyone yet. I don't understand why they can't understand the situation. A is lucky she has you to stand up for her and protect her. All of that resistance to the rules can't be easy. I keep hoping one day something clicks for them.
We have out of town relatives visiting and they got here last night around the time when Ava normally goes down for the night. They asked how long she sleeps and I totally jinxed it by saying she sttn about nine hours. Nope. She did five hours and because I didn't go to bed until almost midnight due to visiting w the fam, I'm on only three and a half. I think we messed her up by messing with her bedtime routine. And this is just the first round of three groups of guests we are having in October. I'm excited for my friends and family to visit....but sleep.
After both grandma visits my baby was broken for like a day and a half. Because grandmothers. We are done with visitors for a while, thank god.

It feels like it's going to be a night. I already used the butt flute and got a lot of gas, but he's still bitching. This is what happens when we don't take our naps! We get cranky and gassy! Why don't you listen to me, tiny human? It's not like you have no concept of speech! ROOD.
12 hours post shots and two doses of Tylenol later I think I've got my baby back. I'm traumatized from her two hour screaming session, but she seems fine.

Jackson is down but he keeps fussing in his sleep. He's on his own room but he's fussing so much I can hear him in mine. I keep thinking he's awake but when I go in there, he's very much asleep just weirdly fussing while sleeping.

I'm really tired of N waking up to poop and lazily eating. I realllyyy think the kid could STTN but he wakes every night at 1 and then subsequent times too... I just can't let him CIO
I put my phone down to refill cat's water bowl. Kitten jumps on table & knocks phone off. It's shattered and barely working. I do not have $200 to upgrade
E did an 8 hour stretch last night, followed by another 2. I don't mind if it takes her over an hour to fall asleep if she does that well!
A, on the other hand, still wakes every 3-4 hours to feed. I totally thought he'd be first to STTN, cuz he's so much bigger and has a bigger tank to fill up, but he's just not willing to go that long with having a boob.
I finally transferred baby girl from her rock n play beside me to her crib in her room and she took it like a champ! Slept in here for two naps yesterday (short but she was never a good napper) and then from 7:30-4:30! I guess she was really ready to go! I miss her being beside me but I think it's best!
I have to get up at 4:30 in order to pump before my am route, N had been sleeeping until 4 or 5, today he decided that 3 was better :/ I was so hoping for a nap after but he really wanted to stay sleeping in arms and not his pnp, he finally relented at 4:15.
Still co-sleeping. Have a week before going back full time, so I have a week to get her sleeping elsewhere. The wedge thingy came yesterday and she seemed to hate it. Thinking of pulling her mattress into the dining room and laying on it during naps to try and transfer my scent in hopes she will accept it. So much for saying I wasn't going to create bad sleep habits with this kiddo.

My normally super awesome sleeper has fought sleep for the past two days. I don't know what's going on with him. I'll get him down and then he wakes up like an hour later and won't go back to sleep for another two hours at least. Ugh. I want my good sleeper back!
H could tell I was exhausted (I fell asleep in a chair while we were talking so he took W for 4 hours and basically just rocked him in another room so I could rest. He tried putting him down but W is going through a leap and wants to be at the breast so he dealt with a fussy baby so that I could sleep. I just finished feeding W and feel so much better than in have recently because of the sleep I got. Thank god its the weekend and he can help me out. Also holy crap my breasts were engorged. Thankfully W has worked on his latch because I know he would've struggled to latch just a couple of weeks ago. Heading back to bed, hopefully to get more sleep. Hope everyone gets some peace and sleep.
In over my head. DH is out of town this weekend. I'm trying to pump and nurse and oh yeah he just went 6.5 hours without a wet diaper. Fuck. Google has me convinced that he's going to end up with brain damage from dehydration. No way I'm getting much sleep now because I need to be nursing every hour. I don't have pedialyte. Do y'all think I need to go make a run for some?

I'm sorry you're alone.. I'd be terrified... I think that your BM is the best thing for him. That being said, I'm a FTM lol. Does your pediatrician have a nurse line you can call? Kellymom.com said 4-5 wet diapers in 24 hours for a baby Bs age. Did he have a lot previous to these 6.5 hours?
