Ok, I will start it 
Who is here tonight? I am here pretty much every night as DS still wakes up every 2 hours to eat. He has sttn maybe 5 times (from like 8:30-4am).
GTKY:
1. What is your favorite tv show?
2. What is your guilty pleasure tv show?
3. What are you now doing as a mother that you never thought you would do?
Me:
1. I love SMASH right now.
2. Guilty pleasure...Duck Dynasty lol it is just a stupid mindless funny
3. This might sound silly buy I LOVE cloth diapering and my nose Frida. I have a friend that has the nose frida and it SO grossed me out. Then DS caught a cold and I am in love with this darn thing...still grossed out lol but I really love how well it works!
Cloth diapering came about because DS is allergic to disposables. I just thought cloth diapers were what I use for a burp cloth and safety pins. That is WAY old school and I just love how soft they are, we do not have blow outs, they are super cute and WAY easier than I thought they would be. Did I mention they are cute lol.

Re: Late night
Up to pump. Little man had 50 ounces of breast milk total yesterday. Insert shocked smiley here. He slept pretty poorly though because of shopping and the heat and thankfully he slept for three hours before whimpering. He didn't want food though so I just ut him beside me and he's out again. There's a gorgeous thunderstorm with some lightning flashing right now so I'm kind of glad to be up. I know I'll miss the desert rains during the late summer. This isn't exactly a monsoon but it's very peaceful and smells awesome. Good job, New England. You did something right! Hehehe.
Ready for some sleep though. I hope he stays down another three or so.
PS love the gtky!
1. What is your favorite tv show?
FRIENDS still and I love shows about families like the Duggars, McGhees, Goselins. Big families or unique families.
2. What is your guilty pleasure tv show? Probably all those family docureality ones from TLC.
3. What are you now doing as a mother that you never thought you would do?
Cosleep/bed share I think. I always thought I might cosleep for breast feeding for a few months then hate it and want to move him out but I love it and kind of dread my husband being back with us solely because he's terrified if it and doesn't want me to do it anymore. There's a lot we didn't do that's more depressing.
1. My favorite show? I love watching old re runs of Seinfeld.
2. My guilty pleasure? I'm almost embarrassed to admit this but I Love the housewives of OC.
3. Something I never thought I would be doing as a mom? Umm, let's see there is so many...I never thought I would be so thrilled to see a poopy diaper. I also never thought I would go out shopping for myself and come home with tons of baby stuff. I just love spoiling my baby!
Tonight has been an epic failure for my very sleepy baby who likes to fight her sleep... even when she falls asleep sitting on my lap.... I just gave her 3oz more and she is asleep now *she ate at 1030* I know I shouldn't be a brat because some mommies like you are up with your LO's all night, with that being said I am sorry
I have been so busy with everything here that I have not been on here in a while... seems like the only time I get to post is on the Late Night Posts... if I want to post on anything else, it's kind of pointless since the post is pretty much ended, oh well!
I thought I was going to kill my MIL the other day! There is this joke we have about her... there was a time when she gave my husbands niece soda (big red) when she was about 3 years old, of course she went crazy... well now we always tell DD *If grandma offers you something with sugar what do we say* usually DD makes a cooing noise... Now for the reason: DD has been teething pretty bad these past couple of days and on this day she was really feeling it... My husband was warming up breast milk, I was in the living room and Amelia was with my MIL.... All I hear is *MOM WHAT ARE YOU DOING!???* She got sugar out of the canister and was about to give it to DD... My husband just looked at her with the *Really, mom!?* look... My face became really hot, but I swolled my words and stayed quiet for about 20 min
GTKY:
1. What is your favorite tv show?
The Office *Cute little fact about the theme song: My husband and I were introduced to at our wedding reception to the theme song *I am sooooo sad about the series ending
* Parks and Rec is awesome as well, I love Aziz Ansari
2. What is your guilty pleasure tv show? Chicago Fire *I only watch it because there are no shows about Firemen and my husband is a firefighter... this is such a guilty pleasure that he has no idea that I watch it lol and World of Jenks
3. What are you now doing as a mother that you never thought you would do?
Being uncomfortable to make her comfortable... laughing at myself when DD poops all over my shirt while on the way to her tub
Rough night here. I have lost track of wake-ups. Even my toddler has been sleeping restlessly.
1. I can't think of a current one. I really love Friends and Roseanne repeats. SO and I enjoy watching Jeopardy together, even if we both are terrible at it.
2. Guilty pleasure is definitely Teen Mom.
3. Supplementing with formula. It still breaks my heart because it just wasn't part of my plan. I have no problems with formula feeding in general. It just wasn't what I wanted to do with my children. I am still fighting very hard in a losing battle of supply issues. Every day, Cole seems to get more formula than the day before.
I think that we should do a GTKY every late night. I stopped coming online as often at night because I just felt like I was writing and reading the same thing over and over.
2:30am
I am also up every night, DS still wakes every 2-4 hours, but I only bump when I get up for work. Today is one of my super early days, I have a killer headache and just want to crawl back into bed. I think the lack of sleep between feedings and early morning (middle of the night) shifts over the span of months is really starting to take a huge toll on me. I have three overnights this weekend with DH working during the day... so DS will get to see my impression of a zombie.
Here's my GTKY...
1. What is your favorite tv show?
On TV right now, Big Bang Theory. I often have the TBS reruns going in the background on a daily basis and I love watching the new ones every week. Funny, smart, light... just my speed right now.
2. What is your guilty pleasure tv show?
A Baby Story and Say Yes to the Dress are my two big guilty pleasures that I'll watch when DH isn't home... but really any of those TLC reality shows can suck me in (and I would never let DH catch me watching!).
3. What are you now doing as a mother that you never thought you would do?
Co-sleeping. When preg I was all about the cloth diapering and the breastfeeding and the pumping at work... I'm doing all those and very proud of myself for it. But I was dead set against co-sleeping.... it's not recommended by the AAP yada yada. But it was the ONLY way to sleep and I've learned to enjoy it. Now that DS can sleep in his own bed (in our room) I still will pull him into bed to sleep in in the mornings or I'll take him to bed with me for an afternoon nap. Is it noon yet? I'm looking forward to my afternoon nap already. :P
