Here goes:

My husband gets up when the baby gets up, and I sleep in a little (or a lot if he works a later shift). It started out in the early days, b/c DH has always said if he wakes up, he's up for good and can't go back. I am NOT that way, so when LO wasn't STTN yet, he would get him in the morning and let me rest more. The habit has just continued, and sometimes I feel a little guilty Then sometimes I don't! I have to admit, I didn't want to FF, but this is a perk I enjoy!

We are going to a 60th birthday party tomorrow and its supposed to be like 100 degrees with a heat index of 108. I hope they move the party inside but if they don't I fully intend to keep LO inside for the time we are there. I'm not taking him in 100 degree heat.

I'm leaving DS with DH tomorrow to go shopping, and I've purchased some formula so I don't have to worry about DH running out of milk. I plan to stay out as long as I can, even if I don't end up buying much. Sure, I have a couple things on my list to buy, but I'm not hurrying home. I love DS, but I haven't been able to have an afternoon away from him yet.

I hate that DH has to work most Saturdays but it really screws up my day when he is off. So I guess I actually like him working on Saturdays.

This is exactly how it is in our house but the exact opposite. I am just like YH, if I wake up in the middle of the night, I am up for good. I have an extremely hard time falling back to sleep. If I actually can do it, it will take me hours.

MH always listens to the monitor during the night and if needed he will get up in the middle of the night (which is extremely rare). I have no problem waking early so I get up with him around 6am and let MH sleep until I leave for work at 8:30am since he works in the afternoon and takes care of him during he day hours.

People who bitchh about their babies waking up ONCE when they're used to them sttn need to die. My baby has sttn once in his life and is usually up 2-3 times. It pisses me the eff off.

This. In recent weeks M has been waking up crying or screaming. He's sick now (as am I) and I've been up since about 1 or 1:30 this morning because he screamed most of the night. I'm exhausted but have him home with me today because he had a fever this morning and couldn't go to daycare. DH is working today and all weekend as well so I'm dealing with this all by myself. I sometimes wonder if I'll ever get a good nights' sleep again.

Hang in there ladies! I'm sure when they are teens we wont be able to get them out of bed!

My FFFC: DD wakes up every morning at 4:30/5 and babbles to herself. Sometimes she shouts, I used to get up and rock her. Now I don't get up unless she cries. 90% of the time she falls back asleep until 6:30.

If DS wakes any time before 7, I don't get him. Not once has he started crying and fallen back to sleep, but I'm sure that will come one of these days.

I feel your pain. LO has been sick all week, me too. He is up every couple hours from a coughing fit or needing a breathing treatment.
