Nightcrew check in

Didn't see one. How's everyones nights going?

It's a rough one for me thus far. Stressful day with LO and all I wanted to do was crash tonight, apparently my brain has different plans. Still up at 1am and LO is happily asleep. Doesn't help that when I try to sleep I lay there knowing I'll now only get an hour or so before she's awake and wanting to feed. Ugh.

Re: Nightcrew check in

  • First feeding of the night.  Im so tired and I really have to pee.  Don't know why I don't go to the bathroom first but I never do lol

  • DS just ate and immediately spit up...down my left side...on my just washed jammies...and my bed. Fml. He is also now asleep on my chest, so I'm debating transferring him to the rnp, changing his pee diaper, or letting him sleep on me. Decisions decisions.

  • DD fell asleep while we were at my sister's house. We got home almost an hour ago and she's still asleep. I'm tired but I know the second I lay down and get comfy she'll wake up. I'm trying to stall until she's up but this momma is so sleepy!!
  • LO is asleep, but I drank coffee at 7pm for some ungodly reason. Rolls are reversed tonight!

  • Up for our first feeding of the night! Woo hoo! LO ate at 8:10 and is just now up to eat again. I started supplementing for a couple night feedings and he seems happier! He has never gone this long of a stretch! I bought the book happiest baby on the block and started reading it tonight so I don't know if the swaddling and swinging all night has helped him sleep longer or if it was a fuller belly? Either way, I'm not complaining ;)

     

  • LO and DS are refusing to sleep its 1:30 mommy & daddy are exhausted and they are both WIDE awake. LO will only sleep in my arms for 5-10 minutes at a time and DS went to bed at 8 but has been up since 11:00. Ugh I HATE sleep regressions this has been a brutal week!

    Feeding 1. I'm so tired I'm struggling to keep my eyes open while I write this :(
  • Fed DS at 840. Usually he will eat between 11 and 12 and then do his 6 hour stretch. I tried waking him at 1230 and got maybe 4 minutes of good feeding out of him before he was out again so I pumped and am just hoping he doesn't wake up for a few hours.
  • Rough evening. I was thinking that dairy might be a worthwhile thing to try and cut out. I have absolutely no idea. I just know not being able to comfortable my baby after hours of screaming and crying is breaking me and I need to try something.

  • DD has slept most of yesterday, last night, and today. Not sure if it will continue through the night or if she will be wide awake.

    At the moment, she has been on a one hour nurse session. She is starting to drift off...

    LO wore herself out screaming at MH while I was out to dinner with a friend so she should sleep well tonight. He is feeling a little bummed that she prefers me right now. I am a terrible person because I secretly enjoy it, he is so lazy with her. I'm sorry but a baby won't be that entertained by GTA 5.

    Yup, baby doesn't care about GTA5. DH doesn't get it. He also conveniently forgets how absolute the pause button is when he's in the middle of mission and can't stop to comfort a screaming LO. "I just need 5 more minutes to finish, can you get him?" Twenty minutes later and I'm still waiting...

  • DH is in charge tonight. DS gave us an almost 5 hour stretch between feedings. Unfortunately that stretch was from 6:45-11:30. Then the baby was fussy. I went to bed so I have no idea what time DH got him down. I'm up to pump. For some reason my supply is super low right now so I'm glad I defrosted some of my stash 'just in case'. If my supply drops like this every night maybe this is why DS nurses for so long.

  • Lately Lo usually gives me at least a 3.5 hr stretch did his first sleep of the night. Tonight I only got 2.5 :(

  • Me and LO are at the beach with my parents... DH is half an hour away at another beach because he drums in a band that has shows at a festival close by. LO is being good and just slept for 6 hours, but I couldn't fall asleep. For some reason I have been worried about groupies trying to get with hubby. I know he would never cheat on me and I usually don't think things like this while he is away with his band , but but to my recent body image issues and trouble DTD I am having strange thoughts.

  • Not too bad... First feeding after a five hour stretch. My mom took my other kids for the night, so I am looking forward to sleeping in the morning.

    Currently debating a diaper change. He used to barely wake up, now he takes a while to get back to sleep. Probably should have changed then nursed. Oh well...
  • It's almost 1 am and my little guy is just refusing to sleep, we're around feeding number one time but would it count if we haven't gone to bed yet, and by we I mean my son and I, my husband is snoring loudly next to me right now
  • It is nearly one am and LO hasn't slept since 9 pm. So tired
  • It's been a rough night here too. We've been cluster feeding all night.. For some naive reason I had hoped that was over. I'll count this as his second feeding.. Although each time has been a good hour debacle.. Most likely bc on top of feeding him, I'm trying to pump the one side I have a cracked nipple on so it can hopefully heal., oh yea.. And we're supplementing too.. Nothing like a mixed bag of feedings tonight lol.

  • DH just finished feeding number 1 and I just finished my nightly pump. We got a nice 5 hour stretch between feedings and she slept that stretch in her crib in her nursery. I feel so rested. Now about to sleep some more until the morning feeding.

  • Up for feeding 2 and now I have a massive headache. Changed LO and now she's eating...and pooping again.

    Sometimes I feel like this at night:
  • Up for feeding #1. DD had a little trouble going to sleep, but did well after getting there. She's having a better week than last week, FX it stays that way for a bit.

    DH has been exhausted/not feeling well from allergies. I'm hoping that it'll dry up a bit tomorrow & I'll be able to cut the grass instead of him.

  • Just got her changed again...aaaand now we are both coveted in spit up curdled milk, YAY!
    I just want some decent sleep :((
  • Feeding #1 DD did so good. Slept 5 hours. She is hell on me during the evening bc she won't take an evening nap and is basically up from about 3pm and on but 5 hours is nice and she will hopefully give me another 4.
  • LO did so good. She's such a good little sleeper, and it saves my sanity. Just finished feeding #1 and its about 530. Hoping for another couple hours so I can get some dishes and a shower done!

  • I had my first drink in a year today, a beer while we were at a festival. I was nauseous when I layer down for bed and I woke up at 1am throwing up! We used to be up all night clubbing a couple years ago and now I can't handle 1 drink. Looks like I'm going to have to have a low key big 30th party next month....

  • Ugh. When I got back to bed after pumping DS was crying. DH took him downstairs but I could not fall asleep. When they were done DS would not stop crying. DH brought him back to the bedroom for help. We got him calmed down about 30 min later. He just needed snuggles. And then he farted and promptly fell asleep. 2 hours later he was back up. I didn't get feel like pumping so I made DH change him and now I'm nursing. I hope he gives us a long stretch after this. So far we're both going on less than 4 hours of sleep.

  • Feeding number one. LO went to sleep finally around 11. Her bedtime is usually 8:30-9. But she ended up sleeping until 4:30 which was nice. Hopefully after this it's back to bed for a couple hours.
  • Comfort nursing session number one billion. We are absolutely inconsolable when the boob is not in our mouth. Normally pats and backrubs are my ace in the hole, but not tonight. He just cries harder.

    Wtf do you want, lo?!

    Exactly! I'm also unsure why men insist on an audience when playing videos games. MH wants nothing more than for me to hang out while he plays and admire his game. Umm no thanks!
