Night crew checkin

DH is snoring so flipping loud next to me. Ugh. LO is asleep yet here I am, wide awake. Curse you day/night reversal...I feel like I'm flipped on the wrong schedule too. Blah.

QOTN: where do you see yourself in 5 years? (In regards to anything you want to talk about)

Re: Night crew checkin

  • QOTN: I will hopefully have had a second LO and both kids should be out of diapers by then.
    I plan to finish my degree and hopefully have a position more directly involved with marketing (I currently source and purchase all the marketing collateral for my company)
    Also, we hope to build our dream home by then.

  • I'm hopefully off to bed in a few. Lo just fell asleep after being awake since 9:30. Thank God for the white noise app I jut downloaded.
    In 5 years, I hope to be working in a different school district.

    I am wide awake. Why? I have no idea. LO is asleep. I should be sleeping. Just can't seem to wind down!

    In five years, DD1 will be 8 (!) and DD2 in kindergarten. I work off-and-on in the wine industry (due to babies), and hopefully by then I'll have made my way into a full-time position as a tasting room manager, wine buyer, etc. It'll just depend on where we have to relocate to for DH's new job.

  • I am wide awake too. This is when I should be sleeping because it is always LO's longest stretch. Oh well... 

    5 years I will be 32. So I would like to say another LO running around if we decide to take that route. I would also like to be out of the city and living on an acreage. Which would also allow me to start up my doggy daycare and rescue. :)

  • Why is the toddler refusing to sleep?!?
    @meegie-lee, that sounds like my dream job!!!!
    In five years I hope to be sleeping through the night on a regular basis. I'd also like one more LO at some point before then (2 years maybe?). Annnd hopefully we'll find a place and move up north to a bigger house/nicer weather.

  • In 5 years... DS will be 5 and hopefully we'll have another LO around 1 or 2.

    Another kid means a bigger house that contains my dream kitchen.

    Career wise I hope to have moved up another level while working PT at home and PT at the office.

    My baby is ONE!!

     

       

  • Trying to get LO down for the night. He took a loooong nap for my mom pretty late, so it may be awhile.

    In 5 years I hope to have had baby #2 and thinking about #3 and be done. Hopefully also figure out what I want to go to school for and finish whatever degree that may be.
  • DD is super fussy tonight; she keeps screaming no matter what we try. She has been eating almost constantly all evening. Praying she lets me get some sleep, because my pp checkup is early tomorrow morning.

    QOTN: I am hoping that DH's and my studio takes off and it is profitable in five years. We want to buy a house (in the process now!). All three of our children will be in school! And we will be starting the adoption process.

  • In 5 years we are thinking 2 more LOs and be in dream house. I hope career wise I've promoted to detective.

    I'm handling hopefully last night feeding and DD will go to sleep.
  • DS is sleeping on me. Waiting for him to wake up so that I can feed him again and then go to bed.

    This afternoon DH and I took DS to get his photos taken. A friend gave me a gift certificate to a photography studio for my shower and there is a good deal going on right now where in addition to lots of photos we also get a cd of images, announcement cards, a calendar, and 3 photo books. Normally DS is a very good baby. He cries and fusses at times but what baby doesn't? Usually it is something we can figure out as to why he is unhappy. He was so fussy today and cried so much (and we couldn't figure out why - we fed him and changed him and nothing seemed to work) that we decided to go back on Thursday to finish up. The photography people were very nice and understanding about it, but I felt bad anyway. Hopefully Thursday goes better!

    QOTN - In 5 years I hope to have another child. DH and I and our kids will be living in our new house (we are closing on a new home in November). I hope to be lucky enough to still be able to be a sahm.

  • Up for LOs MOTN feeding. This one is DHs job, except he drank a few beers tonight and now is confused on who's turn it is. Fuck you DH!

    In 5 years we will have kid #2 and maybe #3 if we have that many. Maybe by then I can be a SAHM. That would be nice.

  • LO is down in her bed tonight. I am hoping for more sleep tonight since I spent most of last night making sure she was ok. She has a lot of congestion and it freaks me out as a FTM. She also vomited last night so maybe it was good that I was watching her, 

    In five years I hope to be either doing something HR related, not directly my current field but my desired field, or staying at home. We will have purchased a home and we will either have had two more LOs or will have had another one and I would be pregnant with the third.

  • LO won't sleep in the crib, bassinet, or pack n play. I've held him and rocked with him, nothing. I put him in the swing just to relieve my hands and now he is out! Ugh.

    In 5 years, I hope we have a house with a yard and a dog, credit cards paid off, and getting ready to take my niece to NYC for her high school graduation gift that we've been talking about for 2 years so far.
  • Lo is tanking up and will hopefully sleep for a good stretch. I have been blessed with THREE nights of 6 hour stretches in a row. I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop, lol.

    In 5 years I want to hopefully be in the process of going back to school to become an RN. Probably will have lo #2 by then. And lastly, DH and I will have celebrated our 11 year anniversary!

  • Just finished pumping the other side after ds's first motn feeding. I also got his bottles ready to go for the morning. DS officially starts daycare today since I go back to work, and I am hating it. I cried all morning and at lunch yesterday when we dropped him off for a test run. I'm hoping today is better, but I doubt it. I need to win the lottery.

    In five years DS will be starting kindergarten, and hopefully dh and I will be close to celebrating 10 married years together. I'm hoping the house will have hardwood floors and painting finally done, we'll have all new appliances in the kitchen, the cats won't be jerks, and the dog will stop trying to be a smelly beagle. Oh, and I'd like to have my jewelry side business in full swing by then.

  • DD has slept for 30 minutes total since 7pm. I can barely think at this point. She finally passed out at 145 only to be bsck up at 210!

    In 5 years, I will finally be done with school and working as a respiratory therapist. Maybe I'll continue and do ARNP.
  • I just finished feeding 1 and am going to attempt to put LO down. He wiggles way too much and me trying to sleep is becoming a chore in itself.

  • DD is up for feeding #1. She's been doing well. DH & I are both so tired right now. Busy weekend turned into busy week.

    In 5 years, all of our kids will be in school. We'll be enjoying our home/neighborhood we recently moved into, having even more family fun (vacations/travel, all 5 of us included game nights, more kid/team activities, etc), sleeping in on the weekends I-) and still enjoying our careers.

  • In 5 years I hope to win the lottery. If that plan doesn't work out, I'll be going back to work.

  • I'm up pumping while MH feeds her.

    I dint want to think about 5 years from now. Lucas will be 7 1/2...nope don't like thinking about that. I will hopefully be a part time worker so I can be involved with their school and still make some money.

  • 1sr feeding. LO has been getting very consistent. Down around 7:30-8:30, first feeding at 2. She's a good sleeper, I really can't complain.

    5 years.... I will be hopefully getting ready to go back to college. I plan to stay home until she's in school. My kids will be 5, 10, 11. Wow! That just seems crazy.

  • Just finished feeding #1. She went down at 9:30 and woke up at 3, not too bad. Now DB is working on getting her back to sleep, lately she's been falling asleep on his chest, so sweet. Every time I try that with her she just gravitates her head towards my nipple even when she's full.

    5 years from now - If all goes according to plan we will have had another LO by then. We hope to also own a house within that timeframe. Hopefully we will both be continuing to advance in our careers. I would like to go back for my masters but the thought of it sounds much better than actually doing it.

  • Got spoiled last night--LO started with a 7 hr stretch. Of course no such luck tonight. Nursing for 2nd time, only about 1 1/2 hrs later. Ugh.

    In 5 years, I hope to have moved up/transferred job. Both girls in school (yay for not paying for childcare) and to be sleeping through night and have no reason to be on online discussion board at 3 am :-)

  • Much needed long stretch tonight 4.5 hours, but still can barely keep my eyes open. DD was also up last night, luckily with some help from Benadryl she is sleeping tonight (she has a cold).

    5 years will go by so quickly. I hope to work part time until then, so I would probably go back to full time by then. Our weeks will probably be very busy with kids sports and activities. That would be the perfect year to go to Disney! Kids will be 9, 7, & 5.
  • DS is up for his motn feeding. He went 4 1/2 hours from his last feeding. And we put him down still awake as per our ped's instructions at his 1 month check up yesterday and he still fell asleep. The doc gave us lots if good advice about getting LO to have good sleep habits. No idea if it'll work in the long run but we'll try it (mostly about limiting naps and putting himself to sleep). My little guy also is almost 8lbs! He was 6lb 6oz at birth.


    In 5 years hopefully we'll have another LO. I may or may not still be working. And hopefully by then we'll have our house all set up! We moved in early August and DS came almost a month early so we have a lot more we need to do here.

  • LO got up for his normal 1AM diaper change and feeding. Two hours later and he is still awake...

    Five years I predict I will have 2 more kids. Also, I will have gotten my Master degree.

    Wow, my daughter will be 9 in 5 years. Aww my baby is getting so old lol

  • Done with the second feeding, and fighting myself to not pick her up from her crib and bringing her over to my bed :/ I just love her so much I wanna hold her :)

    In 5 years maybe have 2 more LO
    And by then have a bigger house also.
    And maybe go back to school..
  • Up for feeding number one. Hopefully LO will sleep good for me since I start class tomorrow. So nervous about taking her to daycare!

    In five years, I see myself graduated from college, SO too. We will both be in our careers and maybe a year into our careers we would start trying for baby #2. Also want to be in a house by then.
  • Feeding #2. She gave us 4 hours which is the longest she has gone at night.
    In 5 years we might have #3. Dd1 will be 7 and dd2 will be 5. Hopefully we will be settled into our house(we are currently house hunting). Dh will almost have 25 years on the police dept and wiil be considering retirement and getting another job where he can spend more time with us. Ill hopefully still be with the same company

    On to our second feeding. H pissed me off before heading to bed and when LO was crying right before our first feed I snapped at him and I think I hurt his feelings, dammit. Hate that feeling. Now he is snoring away next to me lol

    QOTD: In 5 years I see myself with a degree (finally), at least 2 LO's, with an English Mastiff named Diesel (my dream dog), owning a house, and moving out of state.

     

    **I guess I should have reversed moving out of state and owning a house

     Had our precious baby girl, Little Miss E, on August 14, 2013  143 → I.love.you.

  • Feeding #2! He pretty much went 5 hours.. Keep it up baby boy!
  • DS is up for feeding # 3 and has at least one more left til we get up for the day. I was so excited to get him to bed at a decent hour and thought for sure he might give me a 3 hour stretch. Nope, he's up every 2 hours on the dot! He's 7 1/2 weeks now! Mommy is beginning to think he'll never learn how to sleep!

    QOTN: I'll probably still be getting up every 2 hours at night with DS :-(
  • Up for our 3 am(ish) feeding.... Hoping DD goes back down without a fight....

    In 5 years I am hoping to supervise the department I currently work in.

  • After a few iffy nights DD was asleep by 8,woke at 1:30 and DH fed her and then was up again a little before 5. Now I have her in the swing for hopefully another couple hours. Pretty good!

    QOTD: hopefully teaching in the special Ed class I'm an aide in, still living in the same house, maybe one more child, and hopefully lots of family vacations!
  • 6am, time to get up for the day. Get my kids off to school. C hasn't got up again!!! She only got up at 2am! :)

  • Seems like a sleepless night for all It's 3 am here and I have been attempting to snooze since 12.
    Our 3 year old came in at 2 because she needed to poop. That done now I am really awake

    5 years: my kids will be 18, 16, 8, 6, and 5. Hopefully we will be sending ds1 off to college!
    I am wanting to work part time in an ob office as an RN. Looking into midwifery also

  • @BabyE143 That is my dream dog too!! I actually had a deposit on one about 5 years ago. While waiting for the litter to be born I became heavily involved in rescue and ended up fostering/adopting a dog. And then another... Hahaha.

    I decided to hold off on the mastiff after that but one day I will have one!! :)
