I fell asleep in the office doing end-of-month paperwork. I must have woken Eloise up when I came into the room to get ready for bed, because by the time I got out of the bathroom she was wide awake. I couldn't even get upset that she was awake at 2am because she was just so happy, giggling and squealing because she was just so excited to see the little lambs hanging from her bassinet (they are her favorite things in the world right now). Totally out of the ordinary for her because she has been sleeping through the night since about 5ish weeks, but at least she woke up happy and laughing instead of crying, right? Just hoping this doesn't start a new MOTN trend for us.
ETA: I hope this did not come off sounding like I'm complaining. I know that I am extremely lucky to have a baby who sleeps through the night on a regular basis. This is simply out of the norm for me so I'm a little thrown off and can't go back to sleep, so I decided to post here.

Toddler is awake abs coughing away. I hope she's not getting sick -- she goes back to daycare on Tuesday. I was looking forward to a couple hours of just one kid, and being able to clean or run errands a little easier. I'm sitting here feeding and pumping.
I was afraid of this. Now that he's rolling he keeps rolling on his tummy to sleep? How can I keep him on his back/side? I'll try anything but I have a feeling he's just going to be frustrated when he can't roll and wake himself up. Sarcastic yay. Ugh.

No need for apologies! Even though my LO has never STTN, I can totally understand that someone with an LO that has been would be frustrated when they don't. It is all relative to what you are used to, and not a "my nights are worse than yours" competition. Everyone has equal venting rights here from my perspective!

Saw this on the NIH website:
What if my baby rolls onto his or her stomach during sleep? Do I need to put my baby in the back sleep position again if this happens? No. Rolling over is an important and natural part of your baby's growth. Most babies start rolling over on their own around 4 to 6 months of age. If your baby rolls over on his or her own during sleep, you do not need to turn the baby over onto his or her back. The important thing is that your baby starts every sleep time on his or her back to reduce the risk of SIDS, and that there is no soft, loose bedding in the baby's sleep area.
N has only gotten up twice the past two night. Naturally, when I have to be up at 4:45 to get to work at 6 the little turkey is on his third time being up... At least I got an extra hour of sleep because of the time change.

This. The theory is if the crib is safe--ie hard surface, no blankets, stuffed animals-- suffocation risks-- the baby will be fine on his belly, bc if he rolled there he can roll back. I never moved my daughter back once she could roll, and she rolled early, like 3 months.

+1 for once they roll you can leave them. DD is a belly sleeper and once she started rolling I left her. At 19 months, she's still a belly sleeper.
Henry will not stay asleep. I've been up since 11pm, went to bed at 9... So exhausted. DH is on third, so no sleep in my future. DD will likely be up in two hours.
What the hell. We were going for 6-7 hours every night and now we're back to up every four. So frustrating. This will go back in the right direction again one day, right???

I'm sorry. I can't decide if I have ppd or my depression is just coming back. I was off meds and much better than I've been in years during pregnancy. But I'm feeling worse all the time now. I think it may be school + work + newborn. I'm so sorry you're dealing with it though. I hope you can get help.

I feel like I'm missing out on so much here! Today I was off but I now have so much to do when I'm off that it can be even more exhausting than work days. I read through randoms and wanted to reply to lots of stuff but didn't think there was a point at 1am. I'm afraid my history grade is going to be awful. School + work + newborn is just not possible. My stress levels are through the roof and anxiety/depression are increasing daily. Idk what to do though since I can just not do any of those things. I just need to survive until 12/18.
Is anyone else's kid constantly chewing on their hand. My little Houdini broke out of her swaddle tonight and I know it's so that she could chew on that hand!
Also amberlie, c's get degrees! Give yourself a break!! Your in your last semester right? So you don't need these grades for financial aid. Just relax, pass, graduate and enjoy this time w your baby

The hand chewing is out of control.
Mine does it too. Keeps herself well entertained with it, so I'm all for it.
