My sister is coming home from the hospital tomorrow and I'm supposed to be helping out with the two older girls. But I still have my cold and Jackson is still coughy and sick. I feel bad because I want to help out but I don't want to bring over germs.
We have to keep our windows open since our apartments shut off the air conditioning for the fall/winter last week and it's still reaching 80 during the day. There's an asshole outside our window talking loudly on his phone at 2am. Currently resisting the urge to go to him to shut the hell up.

That's obnoxious. I'd say something if it went on.
A has been rolling to her side at night. I know it's fine since she did it herself but I still get weird about it.
I get paranoid about this too. She's been side rolling for a long time but now is getting up on her arm toward stomach. I don't like seeing that in the crib!
Woke up at 3:30 to one of the dogs puking. Poor guy is sick, likely from something he got into outside. Of course that woke the baby up, so we ate and an hour later he's still up, happy as a clam, chatting away in the dark. I'd really like to go back to bed.
So not much going on in the motn thread anymore...our babies must be sttn better. Yay! I'm up at this hour for the first time in a while. I don't mind, it is just strange that she didn't go her long stretch. MH is sick. I really hope she didn't catch his cold...
Second miserable night in a row and of course this happens while DH is out of town. Thank goodness he comes home tomorrow night. Baby has been impossible to put back to sleep and won't sleep for more than a 3 hour stretch. Last night I only got 4 hours of sleep and tonight isn't looking much better. I'm dreading trying to get this baby back to bed when she's done with this feeding. This combined with being solo with an infant and two 2 year olds for the past 4 days is not doing good things for my emotional state. I'm starting to wonder about PPD.
Doesn't the sleep regression happen at 4 months rather than 3? Is this just a growth spurt?
So at this beginning of the week, I though L was sleep regressing since she used to sleep 7 hours, then 3. But only in the swing. I was obsessing about how to wean her, but I thinks she's big enough now that it's not comfortable, because she's refused to sleep in there all week! At first she was only sleeping an hour at a time in the bed, but she's been sleeping longer each night and I just got 4.5. I am so happy.!!
Congrats! I suspect that most weanings happen out of necessity. I had been dreading switching LO from the snuggabunny to the crib/PnP, but a couple weeks ago she started waking up more often in snuggabunny because she was wiggling around into awkward positions. I realized she'd gotten too big for it, switched to the PnP, and she's been totally fine* in it!
*"totally fine" meaning 6 hour stretches some nights, 2 hours others. But point being, no worse off than before.
I think the longest we've ever gotten is a five hour stretch? Seems like lately her stretches are shorter for the most part. She is in her RnP in our room but I think I want to wait to try moving her to her crib until she is 4 months since I read SIDS peaks between 2-4 months. It will be interesting transitioning her to her crib since she has reflux and she tends to spit up more lying flat.
Also, do you ladies get up the baby once you hear her stirring for a while, like she will eventually wake up to eat? Or do you wait till they cry? Just now she was stirring and I tried giving her her pacifier and it maybe bought me 10 minutes but then she was making noises again. I got her up to feed her and she had a huge burp and then ate for only like 4 minutes. I just want more sleep. :/
twinkbrite if I know he's hungry, I'll get up when he stirs because he'll go back to sleep easier if he hasn't cried. A few nights ago he ate at 4 and started wiggling and grunting at 4:45 and I left him.

This is what I do too. If I known he's hungry then I'll feed him before he goes crazy but if it's been less than 2 hours inlet him get to the point of crying before I get up.

I don't get up right away, but I try to get her before she cries. I'm starting to get better at sorting her sleeping noises or I just look at her...if her eyes are closed she usually stays asleep awhile and I leave her alone, if they are open she is going to be fully awake and crying soon so I feed her.
But every baby is different do no clue what applies for you!

Good advice, ladies! There was a point this morning where she started stirring about an hour and a half after she ate. I gave her her pacifier and she slept for almost another hour!
Booooo the transfer did not work and now baby girl is wide awake cooing at the ceiling. I swear I do not recall this with my other two. This regularly awake for 1-2 hours in the middle of the night thing. Maybe I just repressed it, but man. You're fed and cozy, go the heck to sleep.
I've been up every 1.5 hours. I'm pretty sure she's close to popping a tooth. I am going to a paint nite thing tonight so I'm kind of worried she'll be miserable without me. Can you do baby Tylenol this early? I can feel the 2 bottom teeth.
yeah but being woken up every 1.5 hours sounds worse! I slept from 10-1:15 and 3:30-7. I've always been told Tylenol was ok for shots, so I don't know why it would be any different for teething. Just make sure you give the correct dose based on weight.
Omg omg omg I just put W in his crib swaddled and yawning and he fell asleep on his own!!! What voodoo is this?! I just ran downstairs to fees the dog. He didn't even cry ( I watched him on the monitor). Just drifted off to sleep.
Tried to put L in her crib, hysterical crying. Guess it's night 2 sleeping with her in bed. Hate that she has her first fever and cold, and so so tired.
misstunes I hope she feels better soon. Sick babies are the worst because you can't even explain to them why they're in pain/uncomfortable. Broke my hear with W when he had his ear infections. Big hugs sent your way.
Oh its been awful Tonight. After being able to put him down so easily I dream fed W st 930 and I was asleep by 1030. He woke up at 11! Lately I've been getting 7 hrs between feeds. And now he went go back to sleep. We're going to his pediatrician today. I always look so tired when I go there.

I want my happy sttn baby back. It seems like since her etv surgery 3 weeks ago, she's been having trouble sleeping and staying asleep. She won't go to sleep on her back, so DH and I have been sleeping downstairs with her on the recliner again. But then she wakes herself up screaming for no reason that we can think of. I looked up teething symptoms and she's got a lot of them. I don't see anything in her mouth though. I'll look at her MRI this Friday and see if they are close lol. Probably not the normal way of checking. DH and I got spoiled with our happy sleeper. This is awful. We're both about ready to go crazy from no sleep.
Been in the ER now for almost 3 hours. Ds has had a cold for the 3 days and then randomly tonight got fucking croup. Never heard a cough like that in my life; so scary. He was really struggling to breathe too. apparently it's pretty uncommon for croup at this age. Way to go, kid.
Shit... That's scary. I'm sorry. I hope he feels better soon.

I woke up to pump and then Lexi woke up 30 mins later. But she slept from 10-330, so I can't really complain. Emma has an ear infection. So weird no signs at all, except runny nose and cranky. She has had congestion for the last 3 weeks and her inhalers haven't really been helping so I figured I would take her in to make sure it wasn't in her chest. Never did I think she would have an ear infection.
@aliam20 oh wow so scary. DD2 was diagnosed with asthma in the spring. She's obviously older, but I drove her to the ER and it went from I think we need to go to the ER to I was worried we wouldn't make it before she stop breathing. I was by myself and it was the most terrifying five minutes of my life. Breathing issues suck, I hope your LO gets better quickly!
motownthrowdown I'm so sorry. You guys have been through so much, I'm sure the sleep deprivation is absolutely miserable.
I was all proud because I actually got Thea back to sleep in a reasonable amount of time. Then I had to go and dream about snakes. I woke up sweating and totally freaking. Now I'm feeling on the verge of vomitting. I hate snakes so much. Why the hell were they in my dream?? I'm scared to go back to sleep.
