WTF B?! You woke up at 10:30pm and NOTHING will put you back to sleep. It is currently 1:45am. I am now nursing you FOR.THE.THIRD.TIME. The time has come, sweet child of mine, to GO.THE.F@$&.TO.SLEEP.

I'm gonna blame all that adorable hair he has. Not sure why, but yeah.
WTF #2: WTF self, you've been pumping at work since Sept 9. Is it really that hard to make sure you have enough storage bags?
Ladies, if you had 2 storage bags and 3 pumping sessions would you a) combine pump 1&2 in 1 bag and reuse the 2nd bag b) go home and pump the second you got in the door even though that means you'll be pumping at 5 hours, not at the normal 3 1/2hrs?
Eta: yesterday I fucked up pumping by being on a field trip and forgetting my parts, so I went 7 1/2 hrs between pumps. I'm worried if I extend too many times I'll lose the little supply I have.
I would combine 1 and 2 and reuse number two. I pump into bottles and do this every now and then. For one day, I think it'll be fine.
+1 to this. I would just keep bag 2 in the fridge in between pumps and I think you're totally fine.
+2
WTF MIL, we have mornings down to an exact science around these parts. You are not helping by giving the kid breakfast, you are fucking everything up since now he's hysterical crying that his cereal will get soggy while he needs to be getting dressed and doing his hair before DH leaves in 5 minutes. This is also why we don't do breakfast at home on weekdays, especially not cereal.

WTF DD? You should not scare the crap out of mommy by rolling for the first time from your back to your belly while swaddled in your crib!
Also, you should not latch on to nurse just long enough to get a let down, and then pop off and cry every 5 seconds until I just give up and give you a bottle. Now mommy has ANOTHER plugged duct. -__-
WTF boss for bringing in Donuts for the team and placing them infront of me... This momms is trying to loose the rest of her baby weight and they are calling my name!!

I'm sorry all the hairy babies are not sleeping. C has a little smattering of hair but not much and she slept 9 hours last night. I was totally prepared for a 1am wakeup too.
WTF - lady on the radio that said that she has a 4 month old and she knows that the milk rolls under his chin and she leaves it there ON PURPOSE to dry up and get gross and smelly for like a week so she can feel like she's "cleaning him real good" when she wipes the nasty off finally. This was during a segment called "Does that make me crazy?" Yes bitch you be crazy!
WTF, work. We have had half of the bathrooms out of order all week because of a busted water line.
Now, in the process of fixing it, they hit the sewage line...right behind my office. Hello, poo smell all day long and now MORE of the bathrooms don't work.
I should probably look up the OSHA regulations about toilets per employee and use it as an excuse to go home for the day.
I would totally leave....That cannot possibly be a healthy work environment.

WTF whiny pants baby girl? Why do you whine and cry and struggle with life incessantly unless I hold you one particular way all day long? Mommy can't possibly get anything done this way!
Speaking of this, Im about to go on a tangent.. sorry! Ive been meaning to ask this in a random thread or SQS. How long do people let their kid just sit there crying while they're trying to do stuff? Like, if you're doing dishes/making dinner/working on work stuff etc, in general doing things that need to get done and baby is just sitting there in the room fussing and crying how long do you let it go on before you stop what you're doing? This is my daily life and I feel like I either can't get anything done cause I'm always stopping to pick her up, or Im feeling bad/sad/guilty ignoring a sad baby, even though I know she's fine, fed, changed, etc. She likes to nap for like 15 minutes at a time so that doesn't help with getting things accomplished. Is it time for me to just let her figure it out? IE practice self-soothing? It is, isn't it?
Sorry for the rambling!
Tl;dr WTF self for not knowing how to have a baby and do anything else at all

If baby has a dry diaper, and a full tummy, and isn't really crying (screaming), I'll let it continue for a few minutes at this point. If he's been like that despite efforts to comfort him, probably a few more minutes. Momma has to get stuff done too!

periwinkledaydreams If we're talking fussing and crying out noises I might leave him for 10 minutes at a time. If he was really crying hard then just a couple, but usually he needs something at that point.
I'm assuming you've tried babywearing? The exersaucer?
WTF to my life right now. Just got back from the Drs and have the flu. Waiting on DH to pick up my tamiflu. I feel like I'm dying and I can't even sleep because everything hurts.
DD also has a head full of hair and random sleep right now. So wtf hairy babies?! Hers is more of a snacky needing me lots right now..she is constantly eating for super short amounts all day and night. So while she's not up for hours at a time overnight, I think I just get to sleep and she's wanting me some more. Lots of wake ups. But I weighed myself this morning and I dropped some weight?! I've been stuck at the same amount for the last 3 months now so she's awoken my hormones again! And im pretty sure she's out some on, she's feeling bigger again. So I'm seeing the changes..but also anxiously awaiting the uninterrupted sleep again!!

Compared to yesterday I am rocking at life today. Got out of the house early, got to work on time, pumping right on schedule! Not feeling anxious. Yay!
DH and I went out last night while a neighbor watched DB. We ended up getting a drink and then going to target LOL. We wandered around picking out sugary snacks and laughing about how we're so old and fat. And then we came home and made out. It was super nice.

If she's all taken care of with the basics and is just "fussing" I'll just let her be. I place her in her favorite spot with toys and some background noise or music from the TV on and do what I need to do. She has a particular cry/scream that I will go to immediately but other than that most of the time if she's on her play mat she will fuss for a while and eventually turn over and start sucking her fingers and fall asleep.

Would absolutely love to babywear but I have a long term back injury and really can't manage to do anything while wearing her. I push her around the house in her stroller, which sounds weird but with my back its really the only way she can stay by me throughout the day. We don't have an exersaucer yet, and haven't tried anything where she's in the "standing up" position but I'm on the lookout for one in good shape 2nd hand. Hopefully she'll be into that! I have a hard time finding something that will entertain her beside constant attention from me lol!! Dad on the other hand plops her in front of Disney Jr. soon as he gets the fussies from her and doesn't understand why I don't just "use the TV". Ive got many more hours to fill than you, bud! HAHA, UGH.

Thanks everyone. Sorry to hijack the thread, I was just having a moment that seems to be a reoccuring moment and Im frustrated with it today! I've just got a big loud personality on my hands, I think. She's very particular and for lack of a better term "needy" so every single cry she has sounds like the end of the world lol. I have to remind myself that it is not!

WTF H, are you only going to unload items from the dishwasher as you need them? So, a bowl and spoon this morning, then a plate for dinner tonight, etc?
WTF random phone numbers that keep calling me. Leave a message, or I'm not answering.
...I don't have a WTF Wednesday...and my hairy baby slept last night.
Oh! I thought of one! WTF mom who watches my baby. You KNOW that I want to nurse him when I get home from work. Instead of seeing how long he'll go between bottles, give him the 3rd bottle around 3pm. You keep waiting until 4 or 4:30 when you know I'm home by 5:30 at the latest. Then I can't nurse. And I'm pretty sure it's effing with my supply. I go from 3pm until almost bedtime (7:30/8) without pumping or nursing. He likes to nurse and cat nap with me when I get home. He still partially nurses even if he just ate because he does? Then he spits up on me. And my kid is not a spitter. So give him his damn last bottle earlier. I know you're trying to stretch him to 4 hours but 3 hours is okay too.

I am this person in our house.
Normally I wouldn't mind...but there is a growing pile of dishes to go in the dishwasher once it's empty. I ended up emptying it, but haven't gotten around to loading yet due to a needy baby today.
+1 to baby not sleeping last night, and T is basically bald.
She fell asleep at 8:30, but woke up screaming at 10:30. Not sure what her deal was. She normally sniffles or makes little noises that wake me before she cries, but none of that. We went from silence to blood-curdling screams in 0.2 seconds. Then she had a hard time falling back asleep. Maybe a nightmare?
DH had to stay home with LO today while I'm sick because it's not a daycare day. I just heard him tell her "I'm ready for you to go to bed, this is exhausting".
HA.
I kept getting texts yesterday, "she is so fussy." "She is so clingy." My response? "Yep."
Wtf! No wonder my 3.5 month old kid wasn't napping all week. He was too busy practicing. He keeps rolling from front to back today so napping is shit again (he's a tummy sleeper so bring on his back is no bueno). Thus begins the annoying stage of life of being able to roll one way but not the other. Hopefully he figures it out soon! Honestly I thought it was 4 month regression starting early but guess not. Gotta look forward to that now too lol bring all the wine
LO started rolling back to front last week and ends up doing it in her sleep which wakes her up because she doesn't like sleeping on her stomach in the crib and can't flip back. I'm a mommy genius and figured out if I put her against the back of the crib then she can't roll! This is worth a shot for you as long as your LO only turns towards one side like mine does.
