One step forward, 3 steps back...

Chunky monkey and I have come to a compromise on what his schedule should be. We've been doing well for the past week. Today was my first real day back at work and a short one at that since I was asked to bring the little brat in with me. He woke up last night every hour and a half like clockwork!! And now, he's fighting his nap....he'll fall asleep if I'm holding and rocking him, but the minute I put him down, his eye lids fly open. I'm pumping now and his yells have gotten louder and louder. He's pretty upset right now, but I'm being selfish because I'm in pain. I just feel like I can't win no matter what. I feel like I have to be stuck in the house because Gd forbid I take him out some where and ruin his sleep schedule!! I'm so annoyed, which in turn makes me feel guilty for being annoyed with my 3 month old. But seriously....what gives?? What in the world am I doing wrong?!! I'm so over this...the not sleeping, the fighting, the constant resentment I feel towards my own child. I just don't know what to do any more (and I feel like my option at this very moment is let the kids cry or let my boobs explode).

I just had this issue. It lasted about a week. I ended up just sleeping with DD but last night she went down no problem, And naped today. So hopefully it was just a phase and tonight will be the same. Hugs and I hope things get better.
