M's schedule got thrown off a little tonight, but we'll see if it worked out better or not. He fell asleep around 8 and slept until 12. Usually he sleeps from about 7 to 10 and then needs to be fed. Then he usually wakes up between 1 and 3. Maybe since he slept until 12 this time, he'll sleep later the second stretch?
I got a little less than 2 hours sleep since I was up watching hockey. DH caught the cold that everyone has so he's staying away from M. That means there's two to take care of tonight.
I hope you are all sleeping and that all the babies that were sick are feeling better!

We are at the in laws this weekend. Mil was kind enough to watch CJ while DH and I had a date. It was great we had burgers at bobby flays and then wandered around whole foods... Nostalgic activities we haven't done since moving from nj. (we don't have whole foods near us)Tomorrow we are celebrating a late Hanukah with DH's family then watching the Super Bowl before driving home. We are going to get in at like 3 am. I am so not looking forward to the tip back upstate.
Cj is definitely a night owl. He has a nap most days from about 3-5 or 6 and then goes down for the night usually after 10. Tonight he didn't fall asleep till midnight and I am now keeping him upright because his reflux has been bad today. I have been spit up on more times than I can count today. Yuck! I think we will ave him sleep in his car seat tonight which helps him sleep longer when his reflux is bad.

Porter went down about a little over an hour ago in his swing and I moved him to bed about 30min ago. DD is still up and on fire. DH wanted her up a little later as he leaves for work Monday morning and won't be home till Wednesday night. Thankful it's a short week this time...::my first at going at it alone with both kiddos a couple days......
It's 11:30, I'm too excited to sleep! We leave for my moms tomorrow and will be there for 11 days. I'll miss DH like crazy but it will be nice to visit mom and friends and get some sleep.
A ate a little at 10 so I'm hoping she gives us a nice long stretch. I need ad much sleep as possible tonight since we have 3 flights tomorrow.
2:22 here make a wish! Baby H woke up seemingly due to a soaked through diaper. I need good overnight diapers. He had Ben in the crib for about 3 hours. He can't sleep through the night yet. But he's starting to go about 8 overnight hours without eating, so I know he can do it.
Lax he's had a really bad reflux day too!! Spit up everywhere poor guy!
Side note he's just laughed in his sleep 3 times during the 10 mins he's been asleep in my arms been rocking him!
We went to visit relatives in NH today so we got home late. G's sleep routine got thrown off so she woke up at 215 to eat. She's back in her crib and I'm wide awake. I'm bummed she didn't sleep for 9 hours like last night.
Kieannb, have a good time visiting your mom. It doesn't give you a pass on LNCI, tho!
TnT, sleep laughter and smiles absolutely kill me! So adorable.
Mhaley, don't even talk to me about a 9 hour stretch. That's like wearing a meat suit in front of a starving hyena! :P
I hope the LO's from last night are feeling better.
It's 2:43 here. Just fed H off his 6 hour stretch. We'll see how he does for the rest of the night we've been up and down a lot lately after the first long stretch.
I feel like I'm jinxing myself by saying this, but H seems to want 8 pm to be his bed time. I was trying to keep him up a little later, which was making bed time an utter disaster. At least for now, 8 pm seems to do the trick. I'm sure next week it will be something different!
Can't remember the last time I've checked in here.
B has been STTN for a few weeks now (usually 9 or 10 - 7 or 8) MIL came to visit yesterday so B is off schedule as usual. I worked so DH put him down for the night and for some reason he woke up at two bright eyed and ready to party.
Got him situated but now I'm up pumping at 3. I work at 10 and through the super bowl tomorrow and not looking forward to it.
It's supposed to be H's night duty but I forgot he can't hear B screaming...
Hope everyone is sleeping soundly now! GN ladies!

12:45 and we're nursing away. Today was really fun, I took the girls to a play of Goodnight Moon/Runaway Bunny and we all loved it. DH went on a long bike ride while we were out. Then he and I made some progress on organizing the garage while they both napped, and I went out to dinner with a good friend in the evening. It was nice for us both to get some kid free time in.
DH was trying to get me to agree to hosting a SB party at our place tomorrow. Umm, no! We would have had to make those plans like a week ago for that to happen. Silly DH.

Yeah, I'm salivating at the mere thought of a 9 hour stretch. I can barely wrap my head around the concept!
9 hours! I wish... I've been celebrating getting 4 at a time!!
I see I'm not the only one who has a DH that can't hear a baby crying. My question is why can they hear an alarm clock but not the baby? M's cries are louder than DH's alarm clock by far.
M made it until 4:15 and we're up for a second feeding. I had to get up at 2 to pump my left side. He only ate on the right side earlier and I woke up to crazy pain on my left. Oh the joys of BF!

Seems we have picked back up a 4/5 am feeding the past couple of nights. Just nursed N and he is back in bed while I am pumping as I woke up leaking and feeling very full! N fought going down last night. I would get him good and asleep and put him in the PNP. 5 min later he'd be up again and then fight going back to sleep. We did this several times.
In other news we got 4 inches of snow yesterday, which is a decent amount for where I live in the South. It's the white powdery kind and it made everything look so pretty and pure.
5:15. Feeding Hallie. I started my new hobby of couponing today. Yep. I'm that lady. I saved 12 just from couponing and a ton more because it was all on sale as well. I felt like a bada. That was the only entertaining part of my day until my sister told me she's getting a divorce...see NBR:My sister for more details than you care to know.

Woohoo we got a 7 hour stretch. Only problem is CJ had been waking up every 3 hours all night and I was pumping extra in the morning for my stash. My boobs are on fire! 7 hours without nursing+ I forgot a pump part and can't pump = very sore and leaky mama. I can't wait to get home tonight.

I am up--- see post above about no swaddle---
Settled V back in. He's been sleeping for about 20 min. I'm hoping that perhaps he'll give me a better stretch. He's got to be exhausted.
