MOTN Check-In

Songbird2 · October 2014

Almost a 4hour stretch tonight! It is crazy that nights like this I feel like a million bucks. My pre mom self would need 9 or more hours to feel this good. It's amazing how we adapt!

jht14 · October 2014

@Monicavickery‌ I'm giving you all my internet hugs. You're a great momma and just dealing with a lot of stressful stuff at once and on very little sleep. I agree to keep bumping. It helps to get it out to people in the same boat rather than to someone who has no idea shat you're going through. My DH tries to understand and help but really has no idea how intense the worry and hormones can be.

I'm so tired my eyes are burning.

MrsLaLaBug · October 2014

@Monicavickery‌ and @JanisBaby14‌ you aren't alone! Right there with ya. Hugs and fuckitalls all around.

biokitty42 · October 2014

@JustCricket‌ Wow, that sucks. You have all my sympathy.

@Monicavickery‌ Hang in there. New motherhood is rough. Vent away; we're here to listen.

LO had a three hour screamfest that finally ended at 11 when DH took her from me. It was exhausting and frustrating. I miss my pleasant evenings where I could actually watch a show and have some dessert in peace.

ashaw512 · October 2014

I have yet to go to sleep and B is up again. Fuck PPD.

JanisBaby14 · October 2014

@ambershaw512 all the ((hugs)) too. We can all sit in a big internet circle and hug and rock each other. I had to wake DH at 130 to help me get DS to sleep (he's a million times better than I am). Maybe slept from 2-4? DS up, changed and fed, fell asleep attempting to burp. Now poor thing grunting away in the RnP. So noisy. Need to sleep babay.

Bella2425 · October 2014

Last night went really well. Tonight, not so much. Go to sleeeeeeeep!

yea it was kind of a low blow. I was so happy when I saw how much she had gained, but I guess because she eats so little during feeds still and shes smaller than/the size of a lot of newborns still it makes sense. Once I drop another pump i may get some longer stretches (3-8am maybe?) because hubby almost always does the 6am feed. I guess that's one advantage to EPing

pshaortao · October 2014

I told DH I might resent him for pushing on trying to DTD if LO does not sleep 5+ hours like she did the previous three nights. And I've gotten only two hours so far tonight. I love getting intimacy back into our lives, but I rather save them for the weekends. It's not like I get to sleep through the night regularly

MrsLaLaBug · October 2014

C'mon dude. Just burp so we can both go back to sleep for a hot minute. You know you need to.

LO fights the burp like a mad woman. I feel you.

sapphires-and-diamonds · October 2014

Well, ladies, it worked again. It must be wizardry. He slept from 10:30 to 6:45. I honestly didn't think it was going to happen again. So of course I didn't set an alarm to pump. I'm killing my boobs. I wonder if my supply is lower at that time of night so giving him a 4 oz bottle keeps him happy and full longer. I really hope I figured out the magic trick. Just two nights ago he was up at 1 am then from 3-5 then up for the day at 7, which is close to the norm. So this is bizarre.

Vavavictoria · October 2014

Just laid LO down in her crib after getting her to sleep and what do I hear.... The sound of her filling up her diaper. So close to going back to bed and now so far away...

ashaw512 · October 2014

After an hour of sleep I wake up from a nightmare. Why can't I just sleep. So I decide to look at the weather and the video "storm rakes west monroe" is the ef2 tornado we were hit with in Monday.

My toddler is going to hate me today bc I'm sure I'll be laying around and wanting to play.

amom2four · October 2014

Woke up for 1st feeding at whatever early hour that was, I don't even know anymore because they all blend together, with a sore throat. Woke up for second feeding to the glorious tune of explosive poop. Even dh woke up to that explosion and that's not an easy task. I am just hoping that this is not the beginning of a cold. I don't have time for that shit.

Are you sure out babies aren't related??

I'm starting to wonder nowadays...

MrsLaLaBug · October 2014

Tonight has been insane... This kid has eaten an ungodly amount this evening and only just finally went down... 6w growth spurt? Kill me now.

JanisBaby14 · October 2014

When DS is sitting babbling and slowly waking up for the last 20 minutes and you lay in bed DH ignoring him when you are helping tonight, you do not get to be short and rude to him when he cries/fusses while changing him cause you took your sweet fucking time to get to him.

And seriously DO NOT shove your hands down your boxers to scratch your balls while making his bottle. Just no. And you DO NOT get to be rude and short to me when I tell you to wash your hands after you just touched yourself. Would you want a bottle from DS if he just scratched his balls? Jerk.

Ugh. This is one grumpy house tonight.

Murphyer · October 2014

LO has been up since 10.... Please please please go to sleep!!

kateronium · October 2014

Why did I wake you up to change you...

Songbird2 · October 2014

I am losing my mind! Why is breast feeding so painful?!? We had tongue ties and lip tie revised and not a damn thing is getting better!!!!! Please learn to use your tongue little one! Chomping is not an option.

kmbk27 · October 2014

Ugh he was up at 10....ate, changed, swaddled, ate, sleep. I had hoped that would get us more than 2.5-3 hours. Nope. At least he stayed in his RnP.

jht14 · October 2014

LO just ate and fell back to sleep. I'm hoping this is a good sign because she's been up for multiple hours after the 3am feeding for the past two nights. She pooped while DH was giving her a bottle around 11. He gagged because of the smell and wouldn't change her. It was a normal poop for her.

amom2four · October 2014

Fingers crossed feeding him a little extra pumped BM in a bottle will help him sleep a little longer than 90 minutes tonight. Took the little guy with me to play cards at my aunts and he was awake the entire time. Nearly 4 hours! He better sleep tonight.

Ahlome08 · October 2014

So, got a rare 4 hour stretch out of LO, but, out of curiosity had to read all 22 pages of the catfish craziness, plus eat some spaghetti because MOTN eating is where it's at, and now my digestive system is regretting said spaghetti. Looks like those 4 hours may be all I'm getting tonight.

JustCricket · October 2014

annnnnd we'vecmoved thw swing to the bedroom . im done sleeping on the couch with fussybutt in her swing.

brittneyandadam · October 2014

J14 drama was enough to get me through 2 feedings. Dayum. Bishes be cray cray.

conradraging · October 2014

She woke up at 4 to eat like normal but ate half her bottle and threw it up all over me. Now she's wide awake staring at me, but she doesn't want the bottle so she's probably going to either stay awake until she decides to be hungry again or fall asleep and wake right back up realizing she didn't eat enough.

I. Am. So. Tired.

conradraging · October 2014

And smelly. I am smelly.

MrsLaLaBug · October 2014

Someone tell me which J is J14? I must have missed the catfish memo.

Bella2425 · October 2014

DH took the 1am shift (for the first time) and of course I couldn't sleep till they were done. Now I'm up again with mr wide awake. This stage is just not fun.

biokitty42 · October 2014

I was half asleep trying to get LO to take her paci. Eventually realized I was sticking it in her ear.

amom2four · October 2014

Yay for 4 hours of sleep! Not enough to make up for all of the missed sleep but it's a start.

str13 · October 2014

@biokitty42 you have no idea I'm sitting there getting frustrated bc she won't take it and can't calm down and I look and I'm stabbing it into her cheek or chin. She'll be justified if she hates me.

I read the catfish thing. So. Many. Pages. Shit got real over there. At some point I just had to finish because I had gotten so far through.

kateronium · October 2014

It's 5 am. Why are you awake...

conradraging · October 2014

I got through 12 pages of the j14 thread but I can't do it anymore. Where the spoilers at, yo?

Same here, but now I'm kind of wondering who the crazy creep is here.

I kept thinking the same thing.

Ditto. Also, apparently the chick, if she even was a chick, was a mod who had been there since that BMB started. And as much as I would have loved to join the FB group that was created for us, I'm glad I didn't because I don't want people I don't know IRL to have access to my personal shiz. That's just crazy and I can't believe that apparently it happens every 90 days or so that someone's BMB gets catfishes like this. Can't creepers stick to their weirdo porn sites and stay out of our community?

STAHP PMing. I get that people are curious but I'm not going to give out her real name or info. What she did was grody and fucked up but she is not a stable person and I'm not about to hand over the keys to where she harms herself.

Jensavicci was not real, it was the AE of a girl named Ana. More commonly known as DW or Jen's "wife"

She is a decade younger than she claimed to be, has a self admitted Catfishing addiction and claims to be 100% remorseful. She is not a wedding planner, she isn't married and has no children. The girl in the pictures "Jen" claimed to be is clued in to everything and has fixed her leak. Unfortunately we couldn't find Max's origins ("Jen's" supposed 4th child she posted pics of) but am working on it.

I spent a couple hours texting Ana and she spilled everything, or what she wants us to think is everything. She says she has done this on other social media sites and joined TheBump due to low self esteem, her inability to make friends IRL and she always wanted children. Again, her words, not mine so take that with a grain of salt. I'll skip the emo declarations of regret she made because really, it means FuckDiddly at this point.

Again, watch what you post because she stole Lissani's pics and was able to mostly get away with that because Lissanni had a video that Ana took still images from, thus making it untracable on Google Image search. Yeah. Same with Max's photos, all from video.

But Ana, if you are reading - I forgot to add last night that I know your real name, where you live and I SS your entire friends list. Andplusalso, that other thing we talked about at the end of our convo, so if you do this again I will feel zero guilt at exposing all of this to your Real Life. Maybe try spending some more time with them and a little less online.

Am I missing anything?

pshaortao · October 2014

Its the first night that LO is sleeping alone in the nursery while I'm staying with DH in the master bedroom again!
