Starting this off early tonight. It's about 11 here I am exhausted and about to go to bed. Dd should wake between 1 and 3. Although I am trying un swaddled tonight she is becoming more mobile in the pack and play and she is always in a different position than what i put her down when she wakes me up for a feeding. I am afraid she will flip over and not have her arms for support.

Since spring is in the air anyone doing house or yard work?

I will comment again later when I am up feeding dd.

I still haven't gone to bed. We got home from my parent's at about 10 and I'm tentatively waiting for her to wake up starving. Currently, she's contently sleeping in her car seat and I'm not about to move her. Also, she is wearing a day-time outfit and I'm not getting her out to change her to jammies. And she's wearing a not so overnight-friendly cloth diaper so she might have a little red on her bum tomorrow. Again, not about to wake her. We have diaper cream for that. So sue me. My daughter needs to sleep.

I started spring cleaning a little. You know, cleaning things that wouldn't ever normally get clean in my house. I swept the deck the other day and washed the slider and french doors. I'd do a heck of a lot more if I had two hands. Alas, 75% of my day involves me holding my daughter because she usually fusses if I put her down for more than 10 minutes. My "list of bad habit's I won't do with child #2" is quite long.

Weird fact: I seem to have not lost my "nesting" phase. Before being pregnant, I was quite content living in clutter and some filth. Now, I can't stand it. Drives me nuts! Occasionally I am tempted to call my mom to come over and watch Amelia so I can clean and organize my house. Yes, I have a problem.

I'm also still up but I've been laying in bed catching up on Teen Mom 2. L is bound to wake up any minute. He's been making random noises for about 10 minutes or so.

I haven't done any spring cleaning, but I did do 3 loads of laundry today. Does that count?

I'm still up. I should be in bed. I do this every night and curse myself come morning, vowing to go to bed earlier. Rinse and repeat. It's 10:17 here and I'm guessing he will be up around 1... Hopefully no sooner.

I haven't gone to bed yet. It's only 9 here. I'm debating making an egg sandwich since I didn't get to finish my dinner.

My garage definitely needs to be cleaned, but 75% of it is stuff to sell in a garage sale. My house has to be pretty much spotless by Wednesday. I have to clean everything (carpets, base boards, etc) by myself while watching the kiddos. DD does love the swiffer dusters though so I'll probably give her those and it'll keep her busy for a bit. She also likes to help with laundry.

No yard work here. The landscaper will be back in 2 weeks to do it.

@berenely - I feel the same way about the nesting. While I was pregnant I could care less and now I feel like I'm constantly cleaning.

Ugh now there's a dog barking somewhere and its making one of mine growl.

DS woke up early tonight (11:30) usually he doesn't get up until 2:30 or later. Just feeding him now.

As for spring cleaning I am full on though it's taking me awhile to get used to how long one project can take. I used to beable to do the whole house in about 2 days and in the last week I've only completed the living room, entrance and half the kitchen. My goal tomorrow is the finish the kitchen and then make a nice supper for the Inlaws as they have fed us so many times in the last month or two.

Well guess who is swaddled now? She was up shortly after I typed this and I got her back down before 12 and she was up at 150. Although she did she quite hungry and she had a big poop. I guess it's a good thing she got up.

@LadyFilet‌ oh no! I hope Baby P feels better

DD has been refusing to take a nap since 5 and its 8:30 here. Hopefully, she'll go down soon and I can sleep too. I had to take SO to the hospital this afternoon for severe stomach pains, which turned out to be kidney stones, so I've been up for 14+ hours. Need. Sleep. Now.

Roses87 · April 2014

@redsaffron oh no! I hope your so feels better soon! Hopefully u can get some sleep soon.

RedSaffron · April 2014

@roses87 thank you! He's out cold from the meds and DD is sleeping in my arm as we speak, so as soon as I put her down ever so gently, we all can sleep.

We are up! But we have been going to bed much earlier. Started dairy free diet and for now Abby is on the dairy free formula while I pump. It doesn't have soy but I'm going to try a soy based formula to hopefully see if I can still have soy. As of now, she still will only sleep on me. I'm really really nervous but we are setting up the angel care monitor tonight and I'm going to put her on her tummy and see how it goes. I probably won't sleep at all.

I'm never in the mood to clean but the house needs it bad! I just can't put her down for more than 10 minutes. Dh has a little garden. He gets all excited about it and plants a ton of stuff but then gets bored with it and stops taking care of it. He has tomato, eggplant, and some herbs plants. Sure there is more but I have no idea. I don't have a green thumb so I'm of no help.

RedSaffron · April 2014

Ok I'm like losing here. DD has this dry rash on her face and my MIL put some Burtbees baby lotion on it (gasp!) But she keeps touching it as if its itchy and waking herself up as soon as I put her down. Once she's awake, she wants to be carried to sleep (sigh) I finally washed off the lotion and dried it, then put a small dab of Vaseline on it. Hopefully she can sleep after that.

L woke up at 12 and 4. He will be 4 months this week and this is a normal night for us. Momma is tired.

SandFHasse · April 2014

Well we're up. Before I went to bed I heard something tap one of the windows so the dogs are roaming the house. One of them barked earlier and I just told them to stop. He barked again ten minutes ago so I got up and the whole xbox/ tv setup was on. I'm freaked out a bit. Now DS is up eating his bottle.

cnwilbur1030 · April 2014

Up for the 5th time since 130a. So basically I've been up since 130 and DD will be up in an hour. I'm sleepy and angry...slangry.

DH has worked on the yard. I haven't started to deep clean the house yet. Maybe when I get some sleep I will.

Sakura16 · April 2014

Also up at 12 and 4. This last time I heard her cry on the monitor and saw she had break danced completely out of her swaddle. It's like the first thing she does in her sleep is turn over and leg lift herself 180 degrees out from where I put her. She's never in the same spot anymore. You'd think all that moving would tire her out and make her sleep more than 3.5 hours...go figure.
