Last night was good. DD was asleep by 8, up a little after 1, 4:30, then 6:45. After I fed her last night I wanted to see how she would do being put down in the RnP drowsy but awake and her eyes were closed within 5-10 minutes. Then DH had some TV time before i headed upstairs at 9.
Today I'm headed to my parents' to hang out for the day. I think I'll make it a weekly Saturday thing since DH works and its nice to get out of the house.
I went to bed before lo last night. She gave dh a hell of a time. I had to get up because I could here the frustration in his voice. Broke my heart a little. Sleep deprivation is starting to get to him.
QOTD: Alan Jackson 2012
Morning! I am taking a bath! I requested one on wed lol! I'm gonna shave my legs AND my armpits.
We were up every 2 hours again but dd slept in her crib in her room for the first 2 hours and then mostly in her pnp in our room. Everyone told me once she was in our bed she wouldn't leave willingly but it's going pretty well. SO slept with me and we spooned while she was in her crib. Soon he will join me in our bed got good. I'm really missing the intimacy
LO and I are going to a pp class to teach how to get back in shape ab and pelvic floor wise.
Last concert: heaven and hell in the beginning of the summer. Not really my cup of tea but we went with friends. I was tired and hungry all night and the only sober one
Last night was a bit off-kilter or us. Baby E went for her 'long' stretch at a weird time. Still okay though--at least she has a long stretch. She's napping now after being awake for awhile.
This weekend we're going to enjoy the outdoors as much as possible! I live in Austin, and it is absolutely gorgeous. Mid-70s with a slight breeze. Doesn't happen often (or for long!)
My last concert was The Lumineers in April. They were amazing.
Compared to most of our nights, last night wasn't great. LO wouldn't go down after her 7:30 or 10:30 feedings. She finally went down after her 1:30 am feeding and slept until around 6:15. It was a struggle to get her back to sleep after that so I only got another 45 minutes of sleep before she had to eat again.
It's funny - DH is gone for her bedtime routine 2 nights a week (club sports practice), so it's just me & LO. On those nights, she goes down easily right after I do her bedtime routine (which starts with whatever feeding occurs between 7 & 8:30 pm), but recently, on the nights DH is home, she has been refusing to go down until after her next feeding (sometime between 9:30 & 11:30 pm) even if I'm the one putting her down. I have no idea why or what's different except maybe DH's presence stimulates her and keeps her awake?
QOTD: I can't even remember but probably DMB sometime in the early 2000s. We aren't big into concerts (though we desperately wanted to get tix to the JT/Jay Z concert last month, but it was 2 days after my EDD, so we didn't think it was a good idea; turns out I was still pg since LO was 6 days late).
Baby did great with 4 hour stretches last night, but DS1 however was up crying every 20 minutes till like 3 for whoknowswhat reason. I really hope he's not getting sick. My last concert... Geeze... I think it was Jimmy Eat World when they were back in town like 5 years ago! I used to go to sooo many in college! Oh, to have that kind if disposable income again! :-)
I am one happy momma. Bought the book happiest baby on the block because my pedi recommended it and I tried the main ways to calm baby last night and it worked! DH swaddled, fed LO a bottle at 8:10 and then we put him in the swing on a high speed with our loud box fan on for white noise And He wasnt up again until 1:10! hes never slept that long. Then he was up around 4:30 then again around 6:45 and then 8 ish. I feel rested compared to his normal up every 2 hours!
I'm pretty sure the last concert I went to was John mellencamp in like 05 or something lol.
Last night was good. DS is going through the 6 week growth spurt, so he's been cluster feeding every couple hours during the day, constantly at night, and every 2.5 hrs during the middle of the night. I swear this kid feels much heavier today than yesterday!
Last concert: 311 last summer with dh. For his birthday I got him meet and greet tickets. They were front row, and he met his favorite band ever.
Off topic: even though dh is awesome most of the time, today I want to smack him. He's currently driving like an asshole so we can visit his grandfather with Tyler. Tyler is asleep and will need to eat when he wakes up. I swear, if he tries to pass him off to his grandfather to hold when he wakes up, I'm gonna flip my lid. He did that last time his cousin was over, so naturally, I had trouble getting my hangry baby to latch properly. I warned him already, so we'll see. Also, dude can't put a diaper on correctly. Is it that hard to make sure little man's penis is somewhat near the line that turns blue?! The last 3 diapers I had no idea he peed since there was no line, but Tyler was screaming his head off.
Ok, sorry guys, rant over. Time to deal with IL's.
Last night was great for us! DH actually got home from work at a decent hour... With enough time to help me with LOs bedtime routine. We started it around 9pm I believe and put her down for sleep around 11pm. She slept the first stretch in her room in her crib. And I got the best sleep I've had since bringing her home. She woke up around 3something for the MOTN feeding. DH took care of that. I pumped and ate something and went back to sleep. LO was up again at 7:30 ready to eat. Two great blocks of sleep.
Today DH is sending me shopping. He's been back to work for 2 weeks and hasn't been home before 8pm since he's been back. His company rewarded him for all his extra hours with a nice bonus, so I guess my reward for doing so much win LO is a shopping day. I actually can't wait!
QOTD: last concert was Jimmy Buffett in P'Cola FL back in feb. he's my favorite and it was one of my Christmas gifts from DH. Also he proposed to me that night. :-)
Bad night. Lo fought sleep every step of the way. Even my surefire back rubs and pats were ineffective. Ugh. Dh slept through it all. No offering to help. Like always.
Edit: my last concert was Michael Buble (sp?) many years ago with my mom.
Last night was good she was sleep by 10 and woke up every 3 hours .. and I'm trying to put her to sleep now but she's kinda fussy..
Todays plans... Well my Mil just texted me if we want to come over, but I haven't been home for almost 2 weeks now I've been with my mom, and today was the day we were suppose to go home, and my husband said it sound like a good idea to go over, soo we shall see what happens
Today's plans...leaving LO with DH so I can go shopping! He was suppose to take care of LO during the football game but now he's at the neighbors watching it. That's okay...not like I've had any "me time" this week!!! Errrrr!!! Oh and his parents are stopping over and the house is a mess...told him I will not be cleaning while you're home! He's getting on my nerves if you can't tell!
Last concert...Michael Buble last Tuesday! Grandma baby sat...it was amazing! I was about 10 feet from him at one point...as DH said, for about 10 minutes, I was married to Michael Buble in that moment!
My night last night was pretty wonderful. DH stayed up with LO for a while so I got to get in a few hours of sleep. Around 3 he gave him a bottle and then handed him off to me. He wentt right back to bed for me and didn't wake up until around 8:30. He has been giving us some nice longer stretchs latley. Halajulah! Today we are going to a Company BBQ at the park for my DH. Our son will get to meet all sorts of people today, time to show him off! I hope you all have wonderful days!
Last night LO was up from 2:30am to 6:30am so we slept off and on until now (1pm). Fed at 8am and 11am and now. Not sure why she's eating so often at 4 weeks.
today I'm just waiting for DH to get home so I can get some cleaning done while he watches DD and go to the grocery store.
Last concert was way too long ago. AM Taxi in Chicago. Before that was Jimmy eat world

Last night, I had a revelation followed by being mildly embarrassed by how long it took me to think of it. DD was screaming and fighting sleep (as usual) and it finally occurred to me to put on the Moby. She stopped screaming instantly and was asleep in less than 5 minutes. I have no idea why I didn't think of that 2 weeks ago when she started the love-hate relationship with sleep. Other than that, it was a completely average night, with sleep stretches of 2.5-4 hours.
I've been cleaning today while DD has been swinging contentedly/napping (for over 3 hours now!) in her swing that she usually hates. Apparently she's soothed by music from Disney movies. Yay for iTunes radio! We also started CDing today. Feeling pretty accomplished in this house right now. Lol.
QOTD: The only concert I've ever been to was Coldplay 5 or 6 years ago.
Last night DS slept just under 8 glorious hours!! Today we had a walk and then some shopping later.
Qotd: I think the last concert was Kid Rock a couple years ago. Hoping to go to another this fall/winter
Last night put DD down after her midnight feeding. She slept until 3 and kept me up until 4:30. She was up again at 6 but DH got up with her and let me sleep until 10. It felt marvelous to get such a long stretch in.
Since I feel recharged from getting a good sleep, I am scrubbing my house from top to bottom and it smells so clean and refreshing. I was just been doing what I could to keep the house presentable since DD's birth.
QOTD: last concert I went to was three days grace back in 2004 lol
@alykey7 How is the cloth diapering going so far. I plan on starting DD in the next week or so when my diaper stash is done.
So far, so good. It's been even easier than I thought it would be and DD's slight diaper rash is looking less red, so I'm happy and so is she. Good luck with yours!
