Oh my gosh, most. tired. i've ever. been.

Seriously, the newborn phas has nothing on 2 sick babies and an out of town husband for 4 days.  One of the two of them is still up every 2 or 3 hours, like a newborn (or, even better, both up screaming at the same time because they're waking each other up) --  

but then the weekend days are spent keeping up with a crazy, active, but yet not feeling well (i.e. tantrum throwing) toddler along with an infant, and the week days go between trying to get some work done and picking up early from daycare to go to the pedi.

I am so tired that I honestly don't remember things like whether I gave them their meds and have had to start writing things down.

DS seems to be feeling better during the days, at least, but DD is still worrying me.  We might be looking at our 4th pedi visit in 6 days.

SO. SLEEPY!

 

Sorry for the "vent" - I just had to tell someone and I knew this was a safe place! 

All that said, we survived DH being out of town and, in many ways, had a really good mommy-babies weekend :)

    Yikes!  Hope their feeling better soon and hope you're able to get a break soon too.  It sucks so bad when they're sick.  Poor kiddos.

    That sounds rough! So glad your DH is home to help out now. I don't know if I could have done it. Good job Mama!

    BIG HUGS!  I cared for one sick vomiting/poopy baby for about a week while DH was in Germany (the sickness lasted a week- the hubby was gone for three), and THAT exhausted me.  I am not sure I would have known how to handle TWO babies who were sick!  I hope you get a reprieve soon mommy!!!

    I can SOOOO relate to this!

    When they were both so little I had to keep a log in the bathroom in a spiral because they were not both dosing at the same time and my brain couldn't keep up with remembering their meds schedule due to insane lack of sleep.

    The HARDEST parenting experience I've had so far was when all 4 of us were puking sick at the exact same time.  Beds, sheets, toilets, bath tubs, you name it - they were all covered in puke.  And every time I'd go to clean up once space the smell of it would make me puke all over again.  It was awful.

    So glad DH will be returning soon.  I hope you can go sit at a coffee shop or book store for some alone time.  Or hell... just get some sleep, right?

     

    Our IF journey: 1 m/c, 1 IVF with only 3 eggs retrieved yielding Dylan and a lost twin, 1 shocker unmedicated BFP resulting in Jace, 3 more unmedicated pregnancies ending in more losses.
    Total score: 6 pregnancies, 5 losses, 2 amazing blessings that I'm thankful for every single day.
