Roll Call

Hello overnight!

If I can put M down, I need to pump. I really don't want to pump. But I'm
Hoping H will take the next one so I really should pump. Blah.

Her royal highness has decided that she won't go to sleep if she doesn't have some boob so I got to nurse her to sleep 30 minutes after she took a 3 ounce bottle. Now I'm just holding her to let her tummy settle and I'll be going back to bed.

ETA- The bottle was with DH who has been taking a night shift just to help me out. The past several nights I have had to nurse her roughly an hour after her bottle because she won't sleep.

I'm here. First MOTN feed after a 4.75 hour stretch. Hoping DS has another long stretch in him since I'm fighting a sore throat and really need my sleep. Hate being sick AND sleep deprived.

Uh, hello 2 am. I guess week 5 really is a "wonder week" because all day today Kara screamed unless I was holding her. She only napped well when I wore her in the sling. She only seems to sleep while on my boob.

Heaven help me, she's in her swing with eyes closed... But she's groaning and grunting like crazy.

Happy Easter, ladies!!!

I think (knock on wood) the combo of meds/formula/cereal Camden is on *might* be doing the trick! We didn't get a super long stretch tonight (3hrs20min) BUT he slept a bunch during the day yesterday! Usually he'd take 20min naps and wake up scream crying and there was none of that! I'm hoping this little sweetheart is finally feeling relief!

I'm super excited to celebrate Cam's first Easter! We have family coming over out house and I don't have to do any of the cooking! My mother and aunt are coming by early with all the stuff to prepare our huge feast! Doesn't get much better than that!

Wow @kls33145 having Easter without doing any of the cooking is the greatest idea ever!

Up after a 4 hr stretch woot! Looking forward to seeing family today plus it's supposed to be a warm day. Time for a family walk!

Here, nursing and watching Chelsea lately. First stretch was 4.5 hours. Hoping for another good stretch. Have a long day ahead of us:church and then Easter at my parents with extended family.

Up nursing after a 3 hour stretch, but that was with DS in my arms. He won't sleep more than an hour and a half anywhere else.

Up nursing DD for our first MOTN feed. She didn't go down until 12:30 though. Poor thing still has a nasty cold that is making her extra grumpy. I hope she sleeps 3-4 hours after this for her sake.

Here, nursing. We had a good stretch of sleep but again DS insists on sleeping with us, not in his PNP.

Morning! Up doing a feeding, the baby's acting weird with her bottle though.. She's screaming to eat, I can hear her tummy growling, but she's playing with the nipple and won't really suck on it to get the milk flowing...she's just playing with it, but when I take it away she gets mad... Ugh, just eat girl!! Then please sleep!! Thank you!!

AnonymousMotherOfOne

For some reason, this dummy stayed awake while her LO was asleep and is now awake because said LO needed to nurse approximately 2.5 hours after mommy fell asleep. But! She slept in her bassinet, instead of in my arms! Baby steps, but I count this as a mom win! Except that I have to make the dessert for tomorrow's lunch before we leave at 12, and I don't even have the gluten-free cake mix I need. Damnit.

Her first Easter ought to be interesting. Spending it with DH's mother, uncle, cousins, and grandpa. I will definitely be AW-ing her adorable outfit in the morning before we leave.

Lo let me get a 4 hour stretch again tonight , yay !! She went back to sleep for an hour then had a poopslposan ( thank you nutrimegan for helping my constipated babe ) so I changed her and now we are cuddling . She's due to eat in an hour so maybe I'll just sit and hold her until then !!

@mfarmer0811‌ we are in the same boat. Up nursing for first MOTN feeding. DS went down for the first time at 9:30, slept in his RNP for 30 minutes and then only wanted to be held. It would be so nice if he would sleep without me holding him... Wishful thinking at this point.

saisongbird

Here, nursing. We nursed at 11:30 and we just woke her to feed - I swear, if we didn't have to wake to feed because she's under her birth weight she would sleep even longer. She's nursing now but I think she would rather be sleeping.

Brich3321

I got a 4 hr stretch finally!! I woke up before him wondering wtf wa going on!! I am hoping for another!

KariB509

It's 4:30 and this is my first time up! Julia slept for 6.5 hours!!!!! Now she's nursing like a champ and thank goodness because my boob was about to explode!

CruiseGirl28

Up for the first time. DH stayed up until 1, and fed her then. I'm rocking her to sleep so I cvs lay her in the bassinet. We set up the PNP with the bassinet halfway between our bed and her crib. We don't want her sleeping in the swing anymore but the crib was too far away from me. I'm crazy.

We had a busy day with family yesterday and we will again today. I hope I fall right back asleep.

Happy Easter!!

4am here an Ellie I think ate too fast.. Puke all over dh and herself... Weeeee

CruiseGirl28

And of course the birds are already chirping outside my window. I need to sleep!'

ProudMommy030614

Every 2 hours... Ugh this little dude just doesn't like to sleep long stretches! Now I am pumping and trying not to fall asleep hooked up to my milker!

fish8412

Here nursing. Thankful that LO is sleeping much better than last night.

sebullows

Well, just got up to feed Levi, and AF decided to visit for the first time. She wasn't shy either. I forgot how much this sucks. Especially at 5am in the morning.

novelblessings

Back again. I guess LO can only last two hours with this cold before she wakes up sniffling up a storm and squirming. I really hope she lasts a little longer after this feed because I'll have to get up and get ready for church after this next feed.

acdiaz11

I love 4-hour stretches! Especially since I started to not feel well last night. I'm hoping I'll be able to get up for church and to go to my in-laws, but if I have to stay home and cuddle LO instead of her spending time with MH's BSC grandmother, I'm ok with that.

Also, can someone explain to me why my neighbors are up at 3:45 in the morning moving?!?!? We live in a duplex and have to connecting walls with them and the choose the most random times to do things. I can't wait until they move out!

ladyglittersparkles

give me my unicorn baby back
1.5 hours of sleep total! For me. LO has slept around 4.5 IN HOUR INCRIMENTS!!! It's not what mommy had in mind for sleep.
I still have a shit ton of cooking to do. But I have to go to bfast out with my fam and then After go to IL's....
