MOTN check-in, Monday edition

I'm so exhausted. And I know I will be this exhausted for a while. It's so depressing. I'm so goddamn tired. And my sister is a bitch and I need her trip to be over.

CJnKR2014 · July 2014

Tonight has been a looooong night. The boy's were jointly up all night. Usually this would mean while Kellan was asleep i could sleep and while Connor was SH would, but I was hyper sensitive to both of them last night. Add in a screaming fit this morning and this mama is ready for some sleep!

laramt · July 2014

@katekat8721‌ yeah, well I don't have twins! Although, I totally jinxed myself. Was up all night with LO bc he had bad gas pains

AbbySeiden · July 2014

@ktcort13 that made all the difference in the world for us. He now consistently gives us 5/6 hour stretches. We do bath, lotion/massage and feeding. After bf him we top him off with a pumped bottle of an ounce. Then I swaddle him really tight and sing the same song to him ever night while I rock him and he's out.

Was up all night with a very gassy LO. She has reverted in her sleeping and it's driving me nuts!

rainbowdashh · July 2014

@stephross88‌ I hope you get some answers. Poor baby boy

Bozzy2 · July 2014

Tonight might be good or it might be terrible. I have to pump the oposite side she eats on every time she eats so I can make her a bottle of mixed bm and rice cereal for her reflux. Also I need to pump to make a stash for when I go back to work. I'm tired and she is also going threw a growth spurt so she has been eating about every hour or less.

tbmadeamistake · July 2014

After two nights of long stretches, we are back to the short ones. Sigh.

steprozz · July 2014

I'm so disgusted with DH I feel like
I'm going throw up. Bennett is having his longest stretch of sleep ever and I haven't sleep during any of it because he's being such a prick.

It's ok I'll be here all night as well. One day they will be big and we get any sleep then either. Up with worry or because they decide they need to be in our beds kicking us in their sleep. *hugs*

elsa1688 · July 2014

I'm exhausted and it's overwhelming not knowing when I won't be again.

babygabe614 · July 2014

Joining you ladies tonight! DD has had a long MOTN routine tonight involving two blowout diapers, she sucked down the bottle of breast milk I gave her so fast I had to make a bottle of formula afterwards, and now I'm up pumping while she fusses for DH. Sigh.

Rei2metse · July 2014

My bed is calling my name but E decides now is a perfect time to play. He slept almost 6 hours so I should be happy but we've got an incredibly long day tomorrow. I'd love for him to settle down so I can get a few hrs of sleep before alarm goes off at 5:30. Only during mr shift does he do this. Good thing he's so cute

sjn00 · July 2014

I hate that I spend so much time putting this girl to sleep just for me to lay her down and have her wake up again. Oieeeee.

steprozz · July 2014

well it's 2:45 here and H (he damn sure doesn't get a D right now) still isn't home, his phone is dead, and I have no idea where he is. B had his longest stretch of sleep ever (5 hours yay!) only I didn't sleep during any of it because I'm so worried/anxious/livid right now

roadspeckle · July 2014

LO has been sleeping for an hour because I can't stop thinking about his appointment to get his frenulum clipped on Tuesday. It's really tight and curls his tongue in, so I brought it up at his 2 month well child. She said it's pretty tight and we both aren't sure how it wasn't noticed before. Probably because most babies with frenulum issues have eating issues? LO was 13 pounds at his 2 month so clearly no issue there, but she said it will cause issues with speech. I almost wish LO was awake so i wasn't wasting my time.

I'm sorry you ladies are having rough nights. I'm usually there right there with you. Big hugs.

CJnKR2014 · July 2014

@stephross88‌ I'm sorry that H is doing thaf to you! DH does it to me often so i TRULY feel your pain, dear!

CJnKR2014 · July 2014

@shannonliggett‌ hugs hugs hugs!

steprozz · July 2014

@CJnKR2014‌ solidarity love tit. he just walked in but he's getting the silent treatment for at least 24 hours.

k2k2tog · July 2014

@stephross88‌ Oh man, I'd be pissed... Hugs!

Isabel just slept 4 hours straight for me. After the past couple weeks of 2 hour stretches, I'm so grateful! And wishing she'd go back to sleep...

Totally random question...but how are you bathing your LO? Submersing in a tub or more of a sponge bath in the sink? My LO doesn't love the bath...

cas889 · July 2014

I'm with you, mrsdbc!

puttyeast · July 2014

I had a dream that I was breastfeeding and woke up all wet from leakage. LO gave me a 3 hr stretch of sleep though!

AbbySeiden · July 2014

@MaddieRosie‌ we are still doing a sponge bath because I haven't figured out what other tub/location to use yet. Neither of our sinks are very big and we have like zero counter space in the kitchen and the bathroom. I think we're going to have to put the tub in our bathtub but our tub is pretty low so I think bathing him that way will be an annoying production. So a "wipe down sponge bath" my remain part of the night time routine regardless of when he gets a "real bath"

PS he doesn't love the bath either but that usually helps make him alert for him feeding

roadspeckle · July 2014

LO woke me up screaming and it was a scream I haven't heard before. He was wiggling, squirming, arching his back, it was the saddest thing ever. I massaged his tummy, changed his diaper.. I'm completely out of gas drops and I'm assuming that's what the problem is so we gave him some gripe water. He ate and is currently sleeping again. We had such a good stretch and now we've been up every two hours again.

@puttyeast‌ That gives a new meaning to wet dreams

@ugabamafans‌ OMG. Dying.

@MaddieRosie‌ we fully submerge using a whale tub. It has a removable section for newborns that help her sit up without sliding down. She didn't care for sponge baths but loves kicking around in this tub.
@MaddieRosie‌ yep we have this. I put an extra washcloth on her tummy because that's not usually covered In water so she isn't cold.

Is the tub made by Fischer Price? Thanks for the responses!

Taymiller · July 2014

I walk in the room from my pumping session to this...it makes MOTN a whole lot easier when I see this cuteness! Although I do not condone the co-sleeping DH but it is ok if it is just for a short time.

ricecakes1216 · July 2014

I'm so mad at my dog. He decided it was necessary to pee all over my hall and the nursery. That was a nice thing to step in while C was crying.

roadspeckle · July 2014

I'm tired. That's all.

katekat8721 · July 2014

I brought a shower chair into the shower, sat down in the hot water and rested my head against the wall, and promptly fell asleep. Luckily I woke up before the hot water ran out. Small victories
