10 pm, A has been asleep for an hour, dishes and laundry are done, I'm going to bed.
Hopefully everyone's nights are uneventful.

So ready for bed.
Wait... they sent an actualy CARD with YOUR pictures on it? Oh, hellllll no.
Her and DH went to bed around 8 because DH didn't feel well. So I did my day 2 of Insanity workout. Holy cow...I can already feel how sore my legs are!
Now I just started feeding Hallie on one side and she fell asleep so I'm attempting to wake her up to eat without waking her up so much that she's up all night. Wish me luck!
I haven't posted in a while but I'm jumping in.
M is fighting sleep in his Rock N' Play. About this hour every night, that seems to be the norm. But he has started sleeping a few solid hours straight in the last few days.
Speaking of in-law Christmas cards...just got my FIL's today. It had a picture of me immediately after giving birth, looking a hot mess, with a lot of skin showing, holding M. It says "I must officially be getting old, I have a grandson". What is with the lack of boundaries? That picture was sent to him by my husband, he wasn't at the delivery. He hasn't come to visit or called/emailed. I have never met any of his family and this is the photo they get? After the ridiculous and uncomfortable visit from DH's mother and stepfather earlier this week (talk about lack of boundaries), I'm so frustrated- there's no words.
Anyone else facing a growth spurt, hang in there, this too shall pass.

You guys are making my ILs seem like the best ever. I got a call from DHs grandma today about Christmas eve. s
She wanted to know what she could do to make me and LO more comfortable with BFing at her house with all the family there. So sweet.
I can't imagine receiving a card with my photo on it after just giving birth. I'm sorry ladies!
Maybe you can do a nice card of them next year :winky face:

Anyhoo, it's 1 and I'm nursing K one more time before we go to sleep. She was up a lot today being a bit of a princess. I was supposed to have my 6 week PP checkup today but I didn't make it, I feel like crap for being a no show. She was screaming when I left the house so I tried staying home longer than I should have to nurse her, but traffic was so awful that I never would have made it by the time I left so I just turned back around. Oh well, I was a bit afraid that they'd clear me for sex and I'd have no excuses. At least I managed to buy myself a couple more weeks until they could reschedule me!
It's 4:50 and Dh just woke me. He couldn't get V down after his bottle (translate---he tried transferring him before he was ready) so I am now awake listening to him in his RnP hoping he can go off on his own. Not hopeful, yet we'll see.
The GREAT news that V went from 10:30-4:00 AM! It did take me till about 11:30 to get him to sleep, but that is still a great stretch of sleep. AND...DH got up at 4:00 to feed. I was up too, but in and out of sleep while DH fed him.
And...we have success! 5:03 and my little cherub went off with a little soothing sshing, his paci, and a few head rubs from me! Too bad I'm a little too awake now! Lol! Hoping this is the beginning of his beginning to STTN!
For those of you with IL who overstepped with Xmas cards.....I feel so bad for you! That is awful. My MIL (who lives with us) oversteps in other ways, but would never go that far. I give you all a lot of credit for not reaching through the phone to strangle them!
It seems like lots of us are getting more sleepy tonight. Funny that some of you are excited to get 4 to 6 hours and I was just as excited for 3. Maybe I'll get to 4 tomorrow,..

6am just fed Noah and am pumping now. I woke up super full and he only nursed on one side. I really wanted to just go back to bed but I'm pretty I would have wokenup uncomfortable and soaked in milk.
N finally settled down around 1 and then he slept until 530! I'm so thankful for these longer stretches of sleep that I am finally getting. In other news N turned 10 weeks old yesterday ! Where did the time go?
Ok diaper change time and back to bed for a bit.
I cannot believe some of the Christmas card experiences you gals are having! I would blow a gasket! Sorry ladies!
