Sunday Victories

Let's hear em!

For the past 3 1/2 days we have been working on putting LO down drowsy but awake. Had success at bedtime, MOTN, and morning nap. Afternoon doesn't seem to be working so well, but it's miles better than being held hostage for hours at bedtime like last week.
Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.

  • Hmm.. Well we made through yet another church service! He's such a ham lol.

    We also are getting some solid 3-4 hr stretches of sleep a night.. LO keeps getting up at like 4 or 5 though so thread that :-/

  • LO sttn the entire week...7-9 hours each night. She also decided that her morning wake up time is 5:30 am...but I suppose I can't complain knowing quite a few on here are still much more sleep deprived than I am at this point.
    Not much else going on here. I'm majorly leaning towards quitting my job to become a SAHM. We are currently going over all the details of this major life change...I'm not sure what We will decide in the end. What I am sure about is the fact I am not happy working 40 hrs a week.
    I guess is should have gone in the working moms thread. My Sunday victory: I never changed out of my pajamas & the laundry is done.
  • Managed to get through the weekend with Skids, washed all their clothes before they went home, washes all of our clothes & Z's clothes. Swept the back porch & made all three beds... Now just some light folding tomorrow and a quick vacuum! This is my best Sunday victory yet!
  • Dd did all her naps in her crib this weekend. We've given up on moving her to the crib for the moment. We all need the sleep and she sleeps great during the night in her swing. When I'm on vacation in Feb, we'll work on the crib again.

  • This week has been really rough, so not many victories here other than survival. H has been leaving early for work and LO has been waking up for the day at 5am. So I'm alone in the dark, trying to get LO back to sleep for an hour or so before giving up. Naps have been hit and miss with little miss fuss face, so I'm just so worn out and exhausted. Fx this week goes better. :-<

  • No one died this week.  That's about it.
  • @revez @rfrazier611 sometimes that's what it's all about. Despite accomplishing good things with LO's sleep, I'm amazed I made if through the week. XF for a better week this week for us all.

    Um dd is teething and fighting sleep so I'm impressed I didn't crash my patrol car at work. This week flew by. So I guess that's good.
    Eta: thought of a better one. Monday was the first time DH and dd were together for 12 hours alone and they did great. I only got one text asking where some extra wipes were. When I got home she was napping.
  • Uhhh, I'm alive? DD was up from basically 6:30PM-3:00AM last night. She just wouldn't sleep. She's not a good sleeper anyway, and she usually goes to sleep around midnight, but that was just crazy.

  • LO is the only one with an accomplishment this week...she seems to have a great handle on sitting on her own...I am so proud.

    As for me...I got nothing done this week that I wanted to due to DH being sick and home, then on our days off, we took some much needed lazy downtime. My house still has the Christmas boxes sitting here with stuff that needs organizing and put away...

    My big plan, I am going through LO's newborn and 3m stuff to prep for donation. We have a woman who is due in 4w, she just got a place to live after sleeping in her car for 3w. We have all rallied to help her out. Her BF left her and put her in this situation. Since she is having a girl, I said I would donate what I no longer needed. So thats my big project for the week
