Not sleeping? Come on in!

Ughhhhh LO just wants to be wide the fuck awake right now. Go to sleep kid! Also he drained my boobs and wanted to keep on going for more. And hubby is snoring louder than the snow plows that came through my condo complex at 1:30am. This night shall be interesting. Who's up?

Me. Pretty sure DH rubbed my arm to wake me up instead of getting up himself. If your sleeping wife is so tired she doesn't hear the baby, why not just get up?? He's usually really great, but I'm kind of pissed now and feeling stabby.

Wide awake here too. Poor DF was sleeping and right about 10 pm woke up screaming in pain. So we are at the ER for a horrible tooth infection and I am the only ome awake. K is sleeping soundly after his bottle and diaper change in my arms and DF finally got meds to make the pain stop and is sleeping. Guess its an all nighter for me.

I haven't been to sleep yet. It's almost 2:30. LO is nursing. She has taken an interest in grabbing things the last couple days. She hadn't made contact with what she was after until just now, with the gas drops in my hand, that were open, and I'm now wearing. Look like I will be taking a shower and not sleeping.

Ugh! I'm so hubby stabby right now. Hide the knives. It was his turn to take care of the baby, he does first waking shift, and I take the next since I pump then. First, he doesn't wake up when baby starts fussing (DS started sleeping in our walkin closet cuz he makes too many animal noises and keeps us awake lol). So I wake up DH to take his turn. He takes forever getting out of the room to warm up milk, so I change the screaming baby's diaper. He feeds him, baby is still fussing. He asks me what to do. Goddamn it, now I'm wide awake, he knows what to do, he just wants me to take him cuz he knows I can get him to stop! Mind you, he came to bed at 12:30, is a sahd, yet always bitches about having to get up or because of his lack of sleep. I've gotten no more than 2.5 hours of sleep in the last month since DS was born. I'm sleeping in the guest room tomorrow and only waking up once to pump and take care of DS that one time....that should get interesting.

@MissyC979, I'd be pissed too! Don't rub my arm, you get up.

Up feeding LO. I'm adamant about getting her back in the bassinet to sleep (she's been in bed with us, not proud of it/said I'd never do it/I know how dangerous it can be) and she did great so I'm thrilled! Just hope she keeps doing good the rest of the night!

We're up. Haven't been to bed yet. My boobs are freaking exhausted.

shoeflypie · January 2014

I'm up... Had to pump after the 1am feeding which only means that LO will be awake sooner since she really didn't get enough.

fauxvegan · January 2014

@jennadyer sorry y'all are in the ER! Hope your F feels better and they treat the infection.
I'm up BFing LO. She's been waking every two hours to nurse, and that is unusual for her. We skipped her evening nap and now I'm paying for it.

shoeflypie · January 2014

@SailorTink I was relieved when DH started giving LO a bottle but then I realized that it meant I have to pump. And wash the bottles... Great, more work!

Jenniferomeo · January 2014

Just got up to feed lo. 2 hours on the dot. I'm never going to get a full nights sleep again; and i go back to work at a new job on Monday because we've run out of money. I was supposed to be off 11 weeks and am instead going back at 6 1/2. I hate my dh right now because he was supposed to get a job as soon as we moved to FL 4 weeks ago and has yet to really even apply anywhere. So he'll basically be a sahd until he gets hired somewhere and he doesn't even want to be home with lo. He watches me deal with him all day and acts like he can't do it. I'm dreading leaving the baby home with him.

I'm up too. LO falls asleep in my arms but the second I put him in the RNP he starts making all kinds of noises and then minutes later he's wide awake again. Hoping to get him down soon because my two year old will be up at the butt crack of dawn wanting to play. I told DH I would straight up murder someone for a good uninterrupted 8 hours.

ReggieLou13 · January 2014

I kicked DH out of the room at midnight. His snoring has become ridiculous. Im so over it waking her up or keeping me up. We both sleep so much better without him.

KelseyKetchum · January 2014

Lo was dead asleep until he broke out of his swaddle now he is crying. Look kid if you don't want your arms free embrace the swaddle.

teacupkat · January 2014

I'm so happy to read I am not the only person who wants to smother their snoring husband with a pillow.

yty0205 · January 2014

LO ate at 2:30, spit up/threw up nine (yes, nine) times afterwards, grunted and arched from gas for an hour, and didn't go back to sleep till after 4:30. Now he's up again eating. DH just had the nerve to ask me (as I stumbled to the bassinet and he repositioned his pillow to go back to sleep) "How ya holding up?" I love him and he's super hands on, so I shouldn't be mean to him, but in my head the only sentence I could form was "Fuck you."

mrsbamtastic · January 2014

I was up pumping at 2:30 while DH and LO farted in their sleep. They both got a full 7 hrs but I have to wake up and pump or it affects my supply too much. That's some bullshit.

bty19 · January 2014

Semi sleepless night here too . Luckily I tap my DH and say "your turn" and he doesn't say Boo about it.

musicnmoon123 · January 2014

DH has a nasty cold so I've done all baby care for the past 36 hrs. I'm exhausted. Plus, I think LO might be coming down with a cold as well. He keeps waking up every 15 min during the day and every hour last night due to congestion. If I don't get a break soon, I'm going to lose my shit!
