Where are my late nighters???

slmille4 · January 2014

Made a smart play tonight and had DH watch and hold LO while I slept from 11 to 1. May be the only day I can do it but dd was cluster feeding tonight so nervous I was in for another night like last night (up from 1 to 4). So now wide awake. At least I won't be mad if I don't make it up to bed till 4. How u ladies doing?

I had to wake up DD 10 minutes ago and she is eating. I made the mistake of changing her diaper before she started eating and of course she pooped so I now have to change her again once she is done. I am hoping she goes back down easy when she is done because I am tired!

I'm up. Had fallen asleep snuggling lo on the couch waiting for him to sleep. Dh woke me and told me to go on to bed and that he'd do next feed, but by time I pumped he had fallen asleep and the baby was crying for his bottle. If course dh didn't stir, so I'm back where I started , cuddling lo on the couch, hoping he will fall back to sleep quickly. The big eyes staring at me say that's not happening.

@blue_elle. That is so my DH. Then when I wake him for a diaper change he gets super grumpy cause he was in a deep sleep. Really, the baby 2 feet away from u screaming didn't wake u???

blue_elle · January 2014

@slmille4 - what made the situation even better was that dh sat up suddenly about the time I picked lo up and said "I heard something strange". Yeah, that would be your son crying :-w Then he just laid back down. Thanks for the help buddy.

I don't remember being this tired!!!!

I'm another one that nursing isn't going well, so I'm having to pump. Well, today I overdid things, so I was asking for more help. It was more than DH could take on no sleep. Sigh.

Today was also our first day with all the kids.

I'm up feeding DD after getting about two hours of sleep. Really hoping for a three hour stretch of sleep after she's done. She usually sleeps a little longer after this feeding.

I'm awake with some irregular contractions for the second night. I go for my induction Tuesday, FX I will go into full labour before then.

ksonne · January 2014

Up nursing DS2. We started the night with him peeing on me and then he pooped within 1 minute of getting a fresh diaper. Figure it can only get better from here.

slmille4 · January 2014

Waiting for DD to get yo for another feeding. Did a trial of putting her down in the pack and play. She lasted 5 minutes. Gonna wait till after her next feeding before I attempt the bassinet. Anyone with tips on how to get LO used to not sleeping on u would be welcomed!

I'm here pumping away. I wish I had an ambien and 8 hours of sleep. I wonder how long off that is! DH had to feed LO because I'm pumping and is freaking out because he has to work in the morning. I'm pretty sure he'll live.

cnwilbur1030 · January 2014

@megs12914 I would give my left leg for an ambien and 8 hrs of sleep!

I think what makes this tiredness so bad for me is the knowledge that it isn't short term. Yes in a few more weeks our LOs will sleep through the night,, but it's hard not knowing that end date! It's not like I know that I just have to make it to next Thursday and then I can sleep. You know?

Any way, DS is nursing now after pooping mid boob into a clean diaper too! DD does the same. She will wait for a clean diaper to poop. Drives me crazy! Oh well, I signed up for 2u2.

Winnieella · January 2014

I'm up. I woke up o LO crying and H asking LO what is wrong, why aren't pi sleeping? I said he might be hungry, and H said I don't think so. Ds and I just finished nursing.

notthecheat · January 2014

Just finished feeding, snotsucking, and bouncing/walking out the gas and fuss. Now LO is wide awake but she is too cute!

Nolan is sleeping but just got done feeding him, now pumping

sarahlisa00 · January 2014

It's funny how similar husbands are! Unless I wake mine he doesn't hear a thing. Boggles my mind and has me wondering what would happen if I had to go away for a night.

Tonight has been a great night for Landon waking up every 3.5 hours... The problem is it's bacause we let him sleep between us! We have a long bed so the set up is safe I'm just worried we've already created a bad habit. My husband says we should do whatever works and I'm obviously loving it. Tomorrow we'll get him back into his RNP next to the bed. This all coming from the mom who swore up and down her baby would be in the crib in night 1.

RedSaffron · January 2014

I'm up, its 12, and DD is cluster feeding with a side of gas :l she's asleep for now so I'm pumping. Stupid Walgreens.. my order for my electric pump hasn't come in and its been a whole two months since I gave them my prescription.

CeeJC121013 · January 2014

I Am up after feeding DD. I am burping her and she had a huge burp (with no spit up, thank God) that startled her awake. it was too funny.

I think the babies conspired on the pooping thing today. DD pooped into a clean diaper, then as I was changing it peed into that clean diaper, but I wasn't done closing up the diaper so it got on her clothes and I needed to change those too!

jblank03 · January 2014

I'm up, finally finished feeding and pumping and DS will need to eat again in about 45 minutes so I figure what's the point of trying to get back to sleep when I feel somewhat alert?

In DH vent news, yesterday multiple times he mentioned how tired he is. This guy has it MADE, I am downstairs with the baby and haven't slept more than 2 hrs at a time in 2 weeks. He's upstairs in the bedroom where he has gotten at least 7 hours of consecutive sleep the last 4 nights. X(

I have been letting LO fall asleep on me and when she is in a deep sleep I will transfer her to the swing or crib very carefully. She used to cry every time she woke up in the crib, now she only cries sometimes. I have gotten to the point where I can put her in the crib in a semi-deep sleep or light sleep now. The swing is easier because it is more upright and it rocks. Good luck, I hope you find something that works!

ETA you can also try warming the crib/PNP/bassinet with a heating pad before putting LO in. Haven't tried it as there is no convenient outlet by the crib, but I have heard success stories with it.

I'm here and I'm up. DS is chomping away. He's been pretty good with feedings lately. His only fuss time is from 7 to 10 pm every night, without fail. He refuses to sleep, looks pained and is super gassy. DH was awesome tonight and took him until two am, so I could sleep. I'm still so tired.

quidditchcapn1120 · January 2014

I'm up but only because I keep waking up due to nightmares. DH and I watched "End of Watch" before bed. I should have looked into it more before making that decision. It was a great movie, but movies effect me a lot more since I've been a mom than they used to. And the nightmares keep making me have contractions.

aessary03 · January 2014

3:39 am. Dh doesn't work tomorrow. He's supposed to be taking care of Oz tonight. Guess who's happily snoring in bed? Now can you guess who wants to punch him in the face? I have to get up for work in 2 hours

So hi!

cowscrub · January 2014

It's almost 4 am PST. I'm anxiously awaiting 5:15 for my alarm to go off to head to the hospital for my c-section. I'm nervous and anxious about what's to come, yet, so excited to meet my last DD.

Rushley · January 2014

@cowscrub good luck! You get to meet your LO
