I just got home from work. Poor lil guy was congested today and was having trouble eating. Usually he's all smiles when I pick him up from his sitter, but he was a grump. Hopefully, tomorrow will be better. I'm a little bummed because both me and the husband are working, so Liam will celebrate his first halloween with his sitter. We're going to drop him off in costume, and she's going to take him trick or treating with her daughter and nephew. She promised lots of pics.
It was 10:30 before Noah fell asleep. I am exhausted but I got sucked in to izombie. I can't fall asleep until it's over. Plus dh is snoring and its so loud.
DD keeps crying in her sleep tonight. I went to talk to her and she looked at me and didn't say anything. DS has decided that it's fun to stay up till 11 or later the last several nights.
I'm over here in my little corner with a three month old that still gets up basically every two hours every night to eat. Luckily he usually goes back to sleep pretty easily after each feed. Seeing people upset over a 6 hour stretch or having to feed twice in MOTN makes me sigh and think that I'd gladly take any of that right now haha... but alas, here we are two hours later, eating again. Could be worse though, right? Maybe?

arimaythea I'm in the same boat. It sucks. I'm so jealous when anyone says their baby is STTN. What is this sleep they speak of?

I think A is making up for not really eating anything for two days. She's been chugging 4 ounces every 2 or 3 hours instead of 4.5 or 5 ounces every 3 or 4 hours. I can't blame her.
DH and I are both afraid we're getting sick, but I'm pretty sure it's just from being exhausted and stressed for the past 72 hours straight. Massive headaches, sore throats. That hospital air was so dry, plus we both have allergies at the moment.
I found out yesterday that HR miscalculated my pto, so I had 8 more hours than I thought I did! I thought I only had 2 hours left after yesterday, so yay for getting paid!
It is all but 4am and I am pretty sure DD is ready to party. She wasn't congested when I put her to bed, but woke up so. I did saline, snot sucker then boob and she is still wide awake. She was sounding good and the smashed her face into my boob and now I can hear some congestion again. Definitely regretting not setting up the humidifier.

My first was like that except he wasn't easy to go back down. I learned I didn't need much sleep to function. It was so tough. I eventually wanted to do bad things to well meaning people who wanted to give sleep advice. You have my sorries.
At 3, everyone's phone started going off. Tornado warning in the area. So now all the adults are awake staring out the window and listening for the sound. Oldest two are asleep in the bathtub, they never even woke up, and baby is fast asleep in the ergo. What a night.
htuzzi324 stay safe! Glad we don't have those to deal with.
When L wakes up twice at night she is always so restless after the second feed. figure she would be nice and full and sleepy with the extra food. What happened to our milk drunk newborns?

I must be stupid...but how do you side-lie nurse without your bottom arm falling asleep? Have tried several unsuccessful positions,.:
+1 to putting it under a my pillow. If H isn't in the bed, I extend my arm straight. Side nursing is the besstttt MOTN way to feed Noah. I still get up with him for one feed so I can do a diaper change. But at this 6:00 feed, I put him in bed with me and keep him swaddled and then put him back in his cosleeper when he's done.
W was up every hour last night. Didn't even try to put him back in his bed after the first round. We slept on the recliner. So tired. I was finally on my way to good sleep (I hit 5 hours the night before;more in one stretch than I've had since he was born) and now we're worse off than ever. Hopefully tonight is better.

+2. Side nursing is the only reason I get any sleep.
I never really fall asleep while side lying...but it's just so much nicer to lay down and have covers when it's MOTN. I tuck the covers around me so LO doesn't have any and just relax. Although I've definitely had those moments where I wake up convinced I've smothered her and she's in snoozing in her PNP - such a zombie I forgot I put her back there haha
DSHM13 with my first, my I would wake up in a panic searching the bed for DD (we never brought her into the bed), or I'd wake up thinking I was breastfeeding only to see my BF standing over me with the baby bc it was time to feed her. Sleep deprivation is real!
