MOTN Check-In

MrsHamon09

Its 2am and LO and I are sitting in the bathroom with the shower on high heat so that the steam will help her breath. Poor girl has such a stuffy nose its hard for her to BF

LO slept for just under 6 hours. Please let this mean we're done with the 6week growth spurt. I like this whole getting sleep thing

MrsLaLaBug

@MrsHamon09‌ hope she feels better soon! I know it's so sad when they're sick.

amom2four

@MrsHamon09‌ I hope your little girl is feeling better or will be soon, I have had many of these days recently also.

@MrsHamon09‌ - hope your baby feels better!

After a very fussy afternoon, going to sleep but only for 5-10 mins, I really thought tonight would be hell. We have her a bath, fed her (again) and got 5 hours of sleep! Thank you sweet baby!

lil_diamond_eyes

Up every 45 mins, fucking fantastic. Don't worry DH, I got this. Please keep keep sleep muttering about how much your shoulder hurts. And if you mention how tired you are tomorrow I might stab you.

MrsLaLaBug

The gas...the grunting all night. Le sigh...

I woke up my dog to keep me company since I'm the only one up she didn't want to sleep anyway.
Dear lord please please let me get SOME sleep tonight, it won't be any time soon unfortunately.

LO was sleeping amazing on my bed but I had to put her in the bassinet because DH can't cosleep with her. He rolls too much and wouldn't remember she's there. Luckily she stayed asleep. If only she would burp so we can both go back to sleep.

RedBaramid

Ro Woke up early to nurse.... we usually sleep until 6am but I figured she fell asleep fast after her 2am so maybe she didn't eat enough... puked all over mommy and mommy's hair... mommy takes 4:20am shower while daddy falls asleep in the recliner with the boppy and a happy content baby... evidently all we really wanted to do was ensure mommy got a shower today. I feel like I should have known better than to let her nurse when she has clearly put herself on a sleep schedule. I feel like I'm awake for the day now, I really hope we get lots of naps today.

mana8503

I'm gong to my mamaw's tomorrow for a week so she can spend time with her great granddaughter. She's so far in the hills there's No cell service, no wifi. ( which means no bumping MOTN, no Pandora or Netflix. Hold me!

jht14

Both DH and I have bragged on his well LO has been sleeping and how she's got this self imposed schedule. Totally jinxed everything. She's been up since 5pm with only a half hour nap. Now she's starting to go down but only since I put her in the swing.

Bella2425

I'm taking the baby to urgent care hours at our pedi tomorrow. He's only eaten 12 oz so far today. I'm Prob over-reacting but I didn't get any answers over the phone yesterday so I'm just gonna go in. He's got to eat!!

kateronium

Rocking the baby beast to sleep on the yoga ball.

RedBaramid

She went down for her first sleep early.. and I'm not tired yet.. so I painted her toe nails with glitter polish before I put her down down.. now I'm waiting on my toes to dry because I painted mine to match...  I feel like my husband isn't going to be happy about this at all, but I texted pictures to my mom and MIL and they both agreed it was the most adorable thing ever for her to have sparkly toes. 

str13

@RedBaramid I freaking love that!! I wish G would calm the eff down so that I could paint hers!!! She did fall asleep but then she farted herself awake! Dammit!

Call the pedi today bc G is spitting up every time she eats and then hours afterwards. So I have to feed her 2 ounces every 2 hours!! WTF!?! I already did this song and dance. I'm going backwards now. But she's still spitting up and going bat shot crazy so I think I'm going to take her in tomorrow. Momma cannot take this much longer!! It's killing me and breaking my heart!!!

CUBBIESMAMA3

We aren't doing too well tonight. DS only went down, two hours after I originally put him down, after I gave him
Allergy meds to make him settle down. I don't normally do that, and it was only half a dose, but I had had enough. He's been on my nerves all day with his shitty behavior.

DD won't eat really, won't take a nap, so I decided to make a bottle from my stash and feed it to her while she has her heating pad on. I got her all set up and went to warm up the milk. Half way thru that, she went out. This was my goal two hours ago.

The plan was to put them to bed after their baths, do the dishes, clean the kitchen, make myself a snack, watch a favorite show while hubby is at work, and go to bed early. I achieved most of that.:-) now let's see how the rest of the night goes. Its only 1:15 in the morning. Lol

mana8503

We got up and ate, now lo is asleep in her car seat ready to go. I feel like I'm crazy taking a 6 week old 500 miles. At least were going in my dad's truck and half the bed is her swing, pnp, and bouncy.

amom2four

My sweet little boy has been refusing to sleep in his bed lately. Also refusing to be swaddled. And refusing to bf in any position other than laying down or football hold. So basically he has become a child with some very demanding ways.

Tonight he had to bf every hour all evening for 30+ minutes. But the good news is that he let me swaddle him! And put him in his bed. Hopefully it will last. Now I just need to get dd2 to sleep. She's been a wild animal all day but seems to finally be calming down. She also will not sleep in her bed willingly. But she's been feeling neglected so I am having guilt and not forcing it. Fingers crossed we all get some sleep tonight, I'm falling asleep typing this and f-ing dh I has been snoring away for the last 90 min while I deal with the littles.

pshaortao

We're starting the rnp to crib transition tonight. Hold me..

CUBBIESMAMA3

This baby will not go to sleep, and will not nurse normally. I'm so fucking tired. I'm finding myself wishing that DH would come home and take over....

kateronium

My toddler has decided to become the worlds pickiest eater.. And she's hungry and screaming at 1am but as I learned today there is literally nothing in the home she
Will eat..
Also wtf is with lo having latch issues on top of the thrush... It's one am.. Stop it

sapphires-and-diamonds

LO fed and passed out then woke a minute later grunting and crying. I picked him up and bounced him, within 5 seconds he let out a bunch of gas and poop. Total blowout up his back. Fuck. So now he's wide awake cooing at me.

jht14

DH almost woke LO up by throwing blankets around when she was in the swing by the bed. I saw his life flash before my eyes when she stirred a little. Luckily she didn't wake up because I was going to kill him.

RedBaramid

Is it too early for wine? We nursed every 2 hours out of the blue tonight... I feel like a zombie.

Ivorytower2

Us too. Went from pleasant 4/5 hour stretches to nursing every two tonight. Whyyyyy!!??!!

kateronium

Probably going to kill dh. You get to sleep and I don't? I got two very broken his of sleep last night. Two! And then you whine about how tired you are when I hands her to you so I can sleep

jht14

@kateronium‌ my DH keeps saying to LO how "daddy hasn't slept past 6am in 7 weeks". Well mommy hasn't STTN since about 20 weeks pregnant or whenever getting up to pee in the MOTN started so STFU.

CUBBIESMAMA3

^^^ my DH was whining that he wasn't getting any sleep because of the baby. I corrected him pretty damn quick. I told him that I haven't been getting sleep because of this child and issues in early pregnancy with my foot since January. I told him if he wants to get more sleep, then he needs to stop going to the gym at 1 am. That's what's keeping him up, not the baby who normally wakes up to nurse and falls asleep doing it. He STFU real quick.

kateronium

@jht14 m maybe if I reminded him about that too he might stfu... I had such bad heartburn while pregnant and was so horribly unconformable I pretty much never slept.. Damn and why do they complain so much? They had the easy job.. And they aren't the primary food source @CUBBIESMAMA3 who the hell goes to the gym at 1am??

I kindly reminded him and he just looked at me like his is so much worse. And I agree who goes to the gym at 1am? Maybe it's because I live in BFE and nothing is open at that time.

CUBBIESMAMA3

My DH and his family does because that's when the gym isn't crowded. They are a bit anti social. The only gym that's open 24 hours is a mile away from us in the medical center in our city. DH also works nights because of the time difference between us and the supplier that his company uses.

Ooh ok that makes sense then. Still doesn't give him complaining rights lol

I kind of gave up with making him help with the motn stuff. Too much work

jht14

My DH doesn't help MOTN. I don't mind too much because he works while I SAH. His complaining about lack of sleep just irritates me when he could go to bed earlier but doesn't.

amom2four

I like to get to the gym about 10:30pm so I can get the tv going and spend my boring time on the elliptical watching jimmy kimmel and trying to not fall off because I'm laughing. Oh and there isn't anyone else there to hog the machines.

You're telling me! I told him that since I don't complain about MOTN feedings, or being tired, then he is certainly not allowed to complain. Lol

Bella2425

I can't get him to eat more than 2oz at a time. The doc suspects silent reflux as did I. Now we wait TWO WEEKS for it to hopefully work. Anyone have experience with it helping sooner??? Feeding him breaks my heart.

lil_diamond_eyes

Finally get to bed after nursing for an hour and a half, DH says nice of you to decide to come to bed. Seriously? Cause I love not going to bed. FU DH. And she's up again 15 mins later... Lovely.

nyg2042

This kid is eating like he's going to the electric chair. He's also wide awake and cooing at me. Yes, you're cute kid, but it's 2:45 in the morning. NOT NOW.

Oh and he just spit up pretty much everything he ate on me, himself and my spot on the bed... And he's now crying...


Btw does anyone else's kid stare at a point just above their head and smile? Creeps me the eff out.
