November 2012 Moms

Late night

How's everyone's night going? It's 12:30 here. M just slept for about 2 hours. DH told me he was going to help more tonight but he slept right through Ms crying. Oh well, I have to feed him anyway so it's not a big deal.

So glad it's the weekend. November is officially over! Can you believe it? Remember when we thought November would never come?

Re: Late night

  • Its 12:30 here. Hallie has been sleeping for a couple hours. Me and DH are watching 50/50 and trying not to fall asleep until she wakes up to eat again.

    If I were still pregnant this movie would be making me bawl...it reminds me so much of driving my dad to chemo. But it's a pretty good movie.

    We took Hallie to the high school basketball game here in town tonight. She got fussy so we came home early. :

    I second the 'thinking November would never come' thing. Crazy!

  • 1:30 and nursing E. Or shall I say "Shark Attack do do do do do do"! DH has been awake with her apparently. Idk why, but at least I got to sleep ?

    Sugar I totally second being able to sleep more soundly with DH next to me!

  • Hallie woke up at 1:30 to eat. I was actually excited to change her diaper because we got a box of new cloth diapers today so I'm excited to try some of them out! How sad is my life that diapers excite me this much?!

  • It's 3:30 , DD slept for five hours. But did I get to enjoy it? No, bc DD1 is crazy and woke up at 1:30 shrieking, crying and inconsolable. It took over an hour to calm her down. I'd feel bad, esp bc she is sick. But she's been doing this for two months now, 4 times a week and I'm over it.

    Now my exhaustion is too much to bear, and I even have a good newborn sleeper this time. Leave it to my horrendous sleeper to keep ruining it.

    If I moved out with DD2 I'd get so much more sleep!

    I'm just going to chant this too shall pass each night for the next few months.

  • 2am here. Fed LO and swaddled him up tight after burps. Might get a could hours after I finish pumping.

    I can't believe Nov is over. Now I have a month long holiday stay at the in-laws to look forward to. *sigh--I'm not ready to have to share my baby time.*

  • It's 4:05. Just finished feeding M. She slept for two 4 hour stretches tonight! I can't believe it, we've been feeding every 2 hours at night since she was born and this is so much better.

  • 130 here, finally in bed nursing le bebe. It was rainy today and we all had a lazy day at home, none of us left the house or even changed out of our PJs. I cooked up a storm though, another thing that makes me feel like myself again. Kalista was majorly fighting sleep earlier in the evening but I finally got her down by bouncing on the yoga ball with her in the Moby. Then DH and I totally lost track of time watching tv tonight. He usually goes to bed way earlier than me, it was fun to get to spend some time together for once. Overall a good if not so productive day. I did fold 4 loads of laundry while we watched tv though, so it wasn't a total loss.

  • Mittens, what a cool tradition. Too bad it wasn't lit up yet!

    Sugar, this might be a bit cliche but I am making ornaments for the grandparents with Matthews hand or footprint on them.

    5:00 here. M just slept for 2.5 hours. Totally doesn't feel like it though. I am still soo sleepy.

  • 5am here, been dealing with a growth spurting baby all night. Plus now I think I have a clogged duct. Super ouch.

    Luckily, Bird gave me his first four hour stretch in awhile. Now I have to wake him to eat. Angry zombie baby in 3....2....

  • 4:30 here. Didn't check in earlier because I couldn't hardly keep my eyes open. Ohmygawsh. I had to get DH to carry Cu to the bedroom from the couch. So delirious. Then Cu only like 3 and a half hours, not the new normal, but it's ok. Maybe this next stretch will be longer.

    We were cracking up though. He's such a grunter and moaner in his sleep! Well right before he finally woke to eat now, he was just tooting up a storm. It woke DH up. Gah. I love him.

    Sorry mamas dealing with fussy LOs, even if they are the bigger kids.

    I'm giving framed pictures of Cu for Christmas.

  • 530 here and I'm up feeding Noah. He slept for a 3 hour stretch earlier tonight and a 2 hour stretch just now. 3 hours of sleep in a row was wonderful after a series off rough nights with little sleep. 

    Wow, Noah just did a major poo that is going to be so much fun to change here in a few minutes. At least I think it is all still in the diaper.

    We plan to get and put up our tree today. I love decorating the tree. I think I am doing mugs with Noah's pictures on them for gifts for my parents. I love how having a baby creates instant gift options of slapping their cute little face on various items.

  • 3:52 here. Feeding G. She slept for 6 hours, will most likely be up at 6:30 then 8:30 for good. Seems to be the normal.

  • 5:15. Just finishing up nursing Hallie. She just screamed for 5 minutes getting her diaper changed. She's slightly dramatic and has screamed during pretty much every diaper change since birth.

    We also plan to get a tree today! Then we have family pictures tonight with DH's family. The pictures are being taken in a town nearly an hour away and I hate the photographer...not to mention pp baby weight. Come on MIL! Give me time to work off the pooch!

  • Nursing again. It's been another marathon night. So I didn't burp E after her last feeding because she'd fallen asleep on the boob. I took advantage of that and laid her down. No hiccups, but I only got 1.5 hours.

    I'm going to have to look into these hiccup remedies!
