Finally! That's more like it.

Ktorrisi · October 2014

Lo slept through the night! Since 10:30. It's 6:45 and he's just starting to stir. I hope I get a few min more bc I have to get dd ready for school. Her bus comes at 7:30. He usually used to sleep so well but he's been getting up at 3am all week. I'm glad to have finally gotten some rest. Don't hate me
:-P

becominggold · October 2014

Yay! So happy for you! We do pretty good....usually just one wake up...but I am looking forward to the day LO goes all night

Ktorrisi · October 2014

Yeah one wake up isn't so bad, as long as they go right back down...which doesn't always happen. Believe me, I count my blessings when he sleeps the whole night! (And even when he doesn't... He's a healthy beautiful boy so I must be grateful). Hope you get your full night soon

There are still ppl waking up 2-4 times a night with theirs and haven't had a decent nights sleep in months.

So yes, you are lucky with your one feeding or none a night.

My kid wakes up every 2 hours to eat. He's a pork chop.

To be honest I am grateful for the few times he does wake up! This will make dealing with the 4 month sleep regression most of us have peeking right around the corner a lot more tolerable! If I was snoozing my ideal 7-8 hrs straight those weeks to come would really be a wake up call..... Literally lol

Can you hear my sobbing? I barely survived this last time.

Ktorrisi · October 2014

Btw I'm kidding (I hope that's obvious...but with typing sometimes tone is misunderstood). I obviously didn't EXPECT my nb to sleep through the night every night so soon if even at all. But was pleasantly surprised when he was...pretty consistently (I mean who wouldn't be). And then when he all of a sudden changed his tune I was like "wtf?" But in a joking sorta way. I know I'm lucky for the nights I do get 7/8 hour stretches and even for the nights he only wakes up once. Believe me. This was meant to be just a funny "poor me" thread... Not ACTUALLY expecting sympathy... Just like an "eff you be-atch! I woke 4x last night shut up!"

workmm01 · October 2014

Yeah I'm really worried about learning what this 4 month sleep regression is. Never heard of it and I'm scared!

Lets not forget the 7 month, 9/10 month and 13 month sleep regressions. The 13 month one nearly did my dh and I in last time. (And the older they are, the longer they tend to last. I think the 13 month one lasted 6 weeks and resulted in us doing extinction sleep training. Not fun!

Oh man! I am all kinds of scared now. One day at a time, right... Ugh.

Itty bit is a night owl. As soon as I turn the lights off for bed then she's awake and wanting attention. FI puts her in her swing at 6 am and she'd sleep forever if i didn't wake her to eat again.

Oh I do.

loulou182 · October 2014

I don't hate you. My baby has been sleeping for 9-10 hours every night since she was 4 weeks old.

I'm just grateful that my husband takes every-other wakeup. I have 3 6am-9pm days this week, for work, so I'm already beat.

For real? Your 8 hours ain't cutting it? I'm gonna be straight up honest with you. Between this thread and your post in Monday Bitchfest, I find you to be a little insensitive.

While I think it's great that your son has pretty much been sleeping through the nights since 3 weeks pp, lots of other moms are going through something completely different. Very sleep deprived and such. I always love to hear how us moms have babies sleeping through their nights because it IS great but in your case, you're whining about the fact that your LO is now waking up once a night but also still sleeping trough the nights too. Poor you? Lots of us here wake up every 2 hours with no end in sight. Some of us are even on anti depressants for said reason and more.

You know you shouldn't be joking about this. You KNOW because you keep saying "don't hate me" you know you shouldn't be bitching. So why do you do it when you also know that so many of us are struggling to keep our heads above water?

Like I said, seemed insensitive on your end. Feel free to post all that's positive and your Lo's accomplishments and whatnot but posts like these are not so cool. Just saying.

Apologizing in advance for sounding bitchy but it struck a nerve.

Ktorrisi · October 2014

Wow... FYI I'm also on antidepressants and anti anxiety meds. I never said anything about 8 hours "not cutting it". Sheesh. I was just happy about him sleeping well. I was never actually whining. It was just meant to be funny and light hearted. I wasn't ACTUALLY complaining. That would be ridiculous. I know you have no clue what type of person I am but id never intentionally be mean to anyone. Ever. My dd was colic for 4 months, I was alone, at 22, with NO HELP...so I get it. I'm just glad that this one isn't so challenging. Gosh it's so hard to share positive feelings without getting rammed? Can't we just be happy for one another of something is actually going well and we are feeling good?? Guess some of us can't.

poofwok · October 2014

Like I said, I'm all for your son being an easier baby. Good stuff. But when you complain about your one feeding at night in the Bitchfest thread ppl may not perceive that as a joke? And then post that he's finally sleeping through the night again. Just saying , ppl may not think of all this in a joking matter.

I didn't say you were a bad person, I said what you wrote seemed insensitive for those of us who don't sleep much at all. Kinda hard to laugh about.

salsy2012 · October 2014

I am in agreement with @Justine2502‌ here. Your original post doesn't come off as a joke. I know that it's hard to convey jokes through text sometimes but I just didn't get it. I don't think she was ramming your feelings either, she was just pointing out that complaining/joking about getting "only" 7-8 hours of sleep isn't funny to the moms who would KILL for more than 2 hours at a time.

Ya know?

SherryBaby2014 · October 2014

I feel with our babies we all have things to brag about and struggles to deal with. I've also learned that babies are completely inconsistent and unpredictable so I don't really mind hearing about bragging because it might swing the other way the next day. Good for you and the little one, enjoy it!

The longest stretch of sleep that my baby got so far I ended up waking up and my breast pad had shifted and I was soaking wet because I was so engorged. I like to say I slept so good my boobs hurt. Then there are days that all she wants to do is eat and my boobs feel like a wrinkled up prunes.

workmm01 · October 2014

Wrinkled up prunes! Love it! First time I've laughed all day :-D

The 18 month and 2 year ones are doozies too. That 2 year one started about the time DH went back to work after paternity leave and lasted until just recently. Between the two kids, my day started at midnight
