Roll call

I know it's a little early for some ladies, but I've been missing out on these because LO eats pretty quickly and goes right back to sleep after MOTN feeds (my version of a unicorn I guess).

Anywho... My ac got "fixed" but it's still got as ballz in my house. It's finally down to 83 - was 89 when I got off work at 10pm. We gave up on relying on the ac and opened all the windows. Hopefully once the house is cooled off the ac will at least maintain the temp.

Re: Roll call

  • Harpers up , I would really like her to get on tho schedule when I go back to work in a couple weeks . Her waking up at 3 is not good when I have to be up at 5 !!

  • It's 11pm. Hollands been asleep since 9:30. I put her to bed in her crib for the first time and I'm too nervous to sleep. Some FTM-isms suck!

  • Up to check LOs temp which went back up to 100. Gave her infant tylonel. It was 100 at 6:30 (gave tylonel) and 98.7 at 10:00. Hoping the tylonel works again. We spread out her shots and yesterday she had the last 2.
  • We are up whet will hopefully be the only motn feed. Arabella fought bedtime tonight and went to bed close to an hour later than normal, yet is still up like clockwork to eat.

    I'm up (11:30 here) but I'm too pissed off to sleep even though everyone else in my house is. Basically DH put DS1 to bed this evening. Then he sat on the couch not helping with the twins, complaining about how tired he was. He started a new secondary med this week to help with his epilepsy, so I thought that might be making him tired and told him just to go to bed, I'd handle the twins. It was 9:00. I waited until after their next feed to come up to bed so they didn't disturb DH, but when they were done and I did come up he was sitting in bed reading.

    WTF! If you aren't going to take the chance to sleep, You watch the kids and I'll sleep!! Arrgh X(

    Up with Fi for first motn feeding. Hopefully she 'll go down for a long stint instead if the two hours between feeds like last night.
  • Hmmmmm decisions decisions.

    Robert is doing his MOTN grunts. I was about to scoop him up but I realized his eyes were closed tight. Popped the paci back in his mouth and he's sleeping and only grunting intermittently.

    He nursed at 8pm. Fell asleep at 9:30. He's been sleeping for 4 and a half hours... And may go longer.

    Should I pump to maintain my supply? Or hold off until he's ready to nurse? But what if he sleeps for way longer?? I'd hate to ruin his first real long nighttime stretch!

    Sleeping through the night problems haha
  • First MOTN feeding. Usually she'll have a long stretch then it's every 3 hours after that. So I'll be back at 5. I-)

  • Up for what baby wise calls the late evening feed - I still say middle of the night. Sloan just did 4 1/2 hours. In 3 1/2 we have to wake her to go to the sitters. Which would mean we only had one MOTN feed :)

    Baby girl waited to wake up until I got home from work yesterday ( I work 12's so 750pm when I got home) and I got to help with bath/bedtime AND my husband did all the diaper laundry by himself.
  • I'm usually too tired to stop in to say hi.
    So 'hi'.
    LO is starting to sleep better. His mucousy choking is mostly gone.
    He is back to sleeping 4-5 hours for his first stretch. And he is usually asleep by 9-10pm, like his brother.
    He used to take both sides for each MOTN feeding, but has recently switched to just one side.
    Now my problem is deciding if I can withstand the discomfort in the 'unused breast' enough to sleep until he wakes up again in3-4 hours...

    I'm opting for sleep because I haven't cleaned my pump parts since I stored them 6 months ago when DS1 weaned.
    (I guess I should wash them in preparation of more nights like these...)
  • Final verdict... Don't let grunts go too long. Just nursed him when he finally woke up.. Now he's wide awake. Oh well, you live you learn...
  • I feel like I have a one week old . Harper is up again . What happened to my 5 hour stretches ?!

  • Up with DD. I think I went to sleep at 1130. I can't remember. The other thing I can't remember is when I grabbed DD from the pnp because I woke up and she was sleeping on her stomach next to me. No idea how that happened! She slept about 4 hours though. So I hope to get another good stretch in.

  • I'm baaaack.
    He only slept 1.5 hours. Chugged quite a bit of milk and is now passed out on me again.
    Back to bed he goes so I can get some sleep before getting up for his 2 month appointment this morning.
  • I'm here. Trying to settle Ellie back down so I can go pump. My boobs are killing me! After two terrible sleep nights, she just went 6 hours.
  • It's 5 and I'm back. I called that!

  • DS got his shots today so he's eating a bit earlier and he's so gassy and burpy that its taken forever. And he's been stirring all night so I've been up popping his pacifier back in pretty much the whole night. I'm wiped.
  • I woke up and fed at about 4:15. My H just left for swim practice and I'm debating doing a power pumping session. I should probably sleep since I stayed up really late last night cleaning.

    Side note - I fed the boy a straight formula bottle this morning. I EP but I dont always make enough and was half a bottle short yesterday. The only problem with formula is I don't know how to fortify it so he'll be short on calories today. I better email his nutritionist!
  • Just fed Isla and I'm waiting for her to fall back asleep. I'm going to get a little more rest. We're going on vacation today- can't wait!

    In about to go eat one of the chocolate covered bananas my MIL sent us for our anniversary.

  • So LO woke up again around 5.
    Acting hungry and squirmy. I assumed it was gas or poops bothering him.
    He ate and was content. Snuggled on my shoulder. Then threw it all up. All over me in bed. Yuck!!

    Then he smiled the biggest smile.

    So, complete change of clothes for both of us. He's finally falling asleep again. Just in time for my alarm to go off. :( I-)
  • Colton slept from 9:30p-7a! I woke up freaking out again and he was all smiles! The long sleeps are great but my boobs feel like they are going to explode!
  • Holland lasted in the crib until 1. When I heard the monitor and went booking it down the hall to her room. She then wanted to eat every 1.5-2 hours for the rest of the night, AND her little nose was so congested she was having super piggy sounding moments all night/morning. It's only 6:40, so we'll probably both go back to sleep!
