MOTN 7/10 into 7/11

jenlynne0624 · July 2014

Lo is still eating and not sleeping. I'm exhausted and hubby left for work for the day. Cue zombie mom mode...

Taymiller · July 2014

This little monster won't stop eating! I am kind of glad I am taking a break from my boobs and just pumping because I am pretty sure they would be dead right now.

meritsamomma · July 2014

@Internationalkate‌ I swear I thought she and I were over the BF hump and now this... I feel like I'm taking crazy pills! FX our LO's get back on track soon!

@ricecakes1216‌ So sorry you're able to understand. I swear it's one of the loneliest feelings. I managed two whole hours of sleep last night and woke to a crying baby he couldn't be bothered with. He only hangs with her when she's not crying.
So frustrating because it's like this vicious cycle. During his days off and the first two days of his work week he's more understanding and like the amazing man I married. He seems to get a wakeup call as to what my days are like. Then by the middle of his work week he gets like this.
I just want to feel connected with him again and bond as a family without this building resentment.

ricecakes1216 · July 2014

@meritmacalpine‌ Yes! You hit the nail on the head. That is exactly my life. It's like I could've written that. C and I are going to my sister's this weekend and staying a bit longer than originally planned. We need the space and I need a sanity break.

Taymiller · July 2014

I am sorry you all are dealing with crazy MILs. For me it is my crazy mother but she is safely back in Michigan so we are sane over here again. My MIL was an amazing person and I never had a single problem with her, makes me miss her even more these days.

roadspeckle · July 2014

I'm sorry you ladies are having MIL problems too. I will never look at mine the same ever again either... After 30 hour labor and being awake for more than that, we said no to her coming to the hospital because we were exhausted. She called us liars and told DH NOBDOY sleeps in a hospital and that she was coming anyways. DH told her no she wasn't, and then she was all butthurt about it. Few days later she just stopped by our house (I was at my parents) and she was pissed. She contributed to the extreme baby blues I felt and major anxiety. When she finally did come over, I was sending daggers in my head watching her kiss my baby. Ugh.

I brought DS to bed with us at 3 and fed him there. I get worlds worst mommy because he puked a few times and apparently laid in it and his hair was caked. DH gave him a bath this morning.

kks4471 · July 2014

I think DS is having his 6 week growth spurt too. He's been eating 30 minutes on one side, ~20 minute break, 30 minutes on the other side. It's been like this since noon. My butt hurts from sitting here for so long. Please let this be over soon!!!

steprozz · July 2014

I think I just drowned B in gripe water. I can hear it in his nose

CJnKR2014 · July 2014

I can't stop crying.

CJnKR2014 · July 2014

I can't stop crying. DH isn't home, the boys have been fussing non stop, if they wake up Granna she'll tell me again how I'm a bad mom, and Connor just puked all over himself and me for the 3rd time.
And when I was telling my parents about granna, they blamed it on me. Said i need to "be careful of fams u marry into & situations u get into" Oh yeah and DHs phone is dead so i cant get ahold of him. He went to go pick up money that a friend owed him, and the car took a shit. Every time i get one boy calm, the other starts freaking. I just feel like I want to run away from everything.

roadspeckle · July 2014

@CJnKR2014‌ - big hugs to you mama. You're a wonderful mommy. Fuck whoever says differently. Step into the other room from the kiddos for five minutes and take a breather and then try again.

elsa1688 · July 2014

LO has been on my boob for 2 hours. Sometimes eating, sometimes sleeping, but he has to have a nip in his mouth. It's hotter than balls here. It's going to be a long night.

ricecakes1216 · July 2014

@CJnKR2014‌ sorry you're having a crappy night. Hope it gets better.

This was my little one all day yesterday. 3 week growth spurt. Luckily dh got him to calm down a lot, and then we took a walk so I got a couple of long stretches. My nipples are still killing me.

@CJnKR2014 hugs to you, mama. You're a rock star for doing what you do and doing it well. I hope your night gets better.

JmeJoLee83 · July 2014

@CJnKR2014‌ honestly you should win a medal for having twins (and all the other twin mamas). Hang in there! I hope it gets better. Hugs!

JmeJoLee83 · July 2014

This thread gives me something to do when LO won't sleep...

Pepper6 · July 2014

Dd went right back to sleep after her 1am feeding. Awesome, right? Well it would be if only I could go right back to sleep too...

My LO is also feeding a lot tonight and this heat is not making anything better! I feel ya.

Taymiller · July 2014

DH is helping me tonight which is awesome because I don't have to figure out how to feed and pump. He fed and I am pumping and now he is putting LO back down. This weekend is going to be awesome because my fam is in town and I might be able to catch up on some sleep.

BMaidPlanner · July 2014

I'm awake listening to her make sounds in her travel crib at the foot of the bed. Trying to resist picking her back up because I need real sleep and she needs to keep sleeping in there.

I can't believe how much I want to pick her up. I always thought I'd be the kind of Mom who wants the baby in her crib all the time.

CJnKR2014 · July 2014

DH hasn't been home all night. I'm about to fucking scream.

katekat8721 · July 2014

Tonight DH wanted to sleep with us in the bedroom. After a few nights with just us girls I had the babies in a nice little routine where they fell asleep quickly and deeply for hours. Hubby rushed putting them to bed and did it too early and they spent hours crying and fighting sleep. He was trying to be helpful since I was making appetizers for my sisters shower tomorrow. But dammit. I'm so tired.

tbmadeamistake · July 2014

@CJnKR2014‌ I may be over stepping internet friend boundaries here, but it sounds like it's time for a come to Jesus talk with your hubby about a couple different things. You are doing a great job with the twins, but it is nor fair that he just doesn't come home and you can't reach him. He also needs to deal with how is grandmother treats you and talks to you. Disagreeing with your parenting is one thing, judging you to tour face to the point t where you are afraid to let your children cry if you need to is not OK. I'm sorry you're dealing with all of this! Being a new mom of one is hard, two is harder I'd imagine, and to deal with family crap on top of that isn't fair. Hope it gets better!

katekat8721 · July 2014

@CJnKR2014 time to move out of Grannas. I don't know at this point if I'd have DH come along to be honest! He needs to step it up big time!

Said with love from another twin mama who can't imagine having to do all of this alone and/or with such negative "support".

(((Hugs)))

katekat8721 · July 2014

@CAMag‌ totally agree with your husbands approach! My mom/grandma were notorious for saying stupid shit like "when you were a baby we gave you two baths a day and would always massage you with lotion and blah blah". This was in response to me saying that I hadn't had a chance to give then a bath that night before. So I said they could go ahead and bathe the babies... HA. It took two of them an hour to do and while they were massaging with lotion both are screaming and peeing on them and I'm just cracking up. Twins are a whole new world for people!

steprozz · July 2014

well the past few nights have been rough over here. B had been eating 3-3.5 oz and sleeping 4-5 hour stretches at night. now the kid is chugging 4 oz bottles and is up every 3 hours round the clock. I know I should be happy he FINALLY wants to eat but damn.

eta I'm delirious don't mind me

@skamber‌ how are you? Did you get to go home?
Thanks for thinking of me! I got to come home yesterday and I'm really starting to feel the pains from my incisions. I'm just so glad all of that is behind me and I can't wait to feel good again. Because of 2 of my incisions I can't hold DD. Not seeing her for 2 days was hard enough, but not being able to hold her is killing me

Glad you are home! I would have such a hard time not holding DD! Hope you heal quick so you can get her back in your arms!

CJnKR2014 · July 2014

So an update for y'all. Last night (about 5 or 6pm) DH had gone to pick up money from a friend and when he got there, the car took a shit on him. He, his friend, and his friends dad tried working on it to fix it. Long story short they got it running, Rick drives almost all the way home, and it dies on him again right down the road, wouldn't restart. Alternator and battery are bad. Rick didnt get home until 5am. (I am still pissed about it because he had called at about 8:45 to tell me the plan was to try one more thing and if that didn't work friends dad was going to bring him home. But he didn't follow this, let his phone die though he had a charger in the car, didnt call me with his friends phone, and never told me shit.) I was up all night with the boys, because they were fussing and puking everywhere. Poor Kellan got puked on by Connor.

Feels like every time something good happens (getting Ricks job) something bad happens (the car takes a shit.)

elsa1688 · July 2014

@CJnKR2014‌ excuse me while I completely overstep - you and your husband need to get on the same page. You clearly don't feel supported and it sounds like chaos. @Lilygrace48‌ was spot on. It's not healthy for you or your boys.

Bozzy2 · July 2014

So baby girl has been awake for almost 4 hours now. Nothing has worked to get her to sleep she is eating for the 5th or 6th time. She has taken two big squishes and peed a bunch. I would like some sleep now.

jenlynne0624 · July 2014

Ugh. Little man slept like a champ last night giving me a five and two three hour stretches. Seems like tonight will be every two hours again. Boooo

sjn00 · July 2014

Oh man this girlllll she wont sleep, crys all the time eats only a little. Im so upset I feel like I cant keep her happy =[

tbmadeamistake · July 2014

Last night was great. Tonight sucks. I think it may be time to talk to someone about PPD. Luckily my six week is on Monday and they'll evaluate me for it there anyway. I just don't want to be unhappy anymore, and maybe if I go talk to someone, they will be able to encourage dh to come once or twice.

jldcjs · July 2014

Ugh baby is sleeping and I have insomnia!

JmeJoLee83 · July 2014

Think baby is asleep on the boob..do tired don't think I'm going to move him so I can catch a bit of zzzz. @-)

puttyeast · July 2014

LO slept for 3 hours but was all sweaty from the swaddle. That's the best way to get him to sleep but it's warm here and no AC. It's going to be a long summer I think...

lest12 · July 2014

@Lilygrace48‌ (hugs)

Ditto. I got DD back to sleep an hour ago and I'm wide awake. Ugh.

Taymiller · July 2014

I just want to be able to sleep through one MOTN feeding

. DH is wonderful and helps when he isn't working the next day but he has gotten to sleep through them and I don't and it makes me very jealous.
