Gonna be a long night. LO wakes up and cries after being laid down. She doesn't wanna nurse, just wants to use me for a paci.
And if DH asks one more time 'what you wanna do' in reference to her crying and being fussy, I might stab him. He just needs to go to bed. Hell, I need to go to bed.
Visiting in-laws tomorrow is gonna be fun on no sleep...
Kill me. LO has been crying all fucking day. I can't nurse you anymore, kid. My nipples will fall off. How am I going to make in through the night? How?!
After one hour of eating, I am hopeful this tiny person is finally full enough that he will sleep a while. I feel like crap and want to go to bed also.
Edited because I can't keep my fat mouth shut and guess who is wide awake??? Ugh.
I think we may have turned a corner here. Three nights in a row with a 4 hour stretch of sleep. It makes such a big difference to get two more hours in a row.
Tonight I found out I'm a sloppy, messy, horrible parent. I went to change the little white flap things on my pump, and found an uncomfortable amount of white "stuff" some of which had tiny dots of black. So, mold. Mold that all my hard earned breast milk has been filtering through for God knows how long. I'm so frustrated and pissed at myself for not noticing it. Little Man has been having really painful gas the last few days, and now I'm pretty sure I figured out why. I'm debating how much of my milk I should dump at this point. Tonight's off to a super great start over here.
Don't be so hard on yourself, parenting is all about making mistakes and learning from them! Hope you have a better night
Little man has been screaming all day if not held and nursing more than ever before. I'm debating whether or not to even attempt to put him in the RnP.
Of course he'd have to actually fall asleep first.
I keep thinking of the noise my flu shot made going in today, and it's making me want to throw up.

Gage Douglas 09.04.2014...my sunshine after the rain.
DD just slept for 5 glorious hours. After getting a whole 3 hours of sleep last night I feel like a new person. I think this is the first time since she was born I might hit 8 hours of sleep!
I just put B back in his bassinet and he's just falling asleep when what happens? I sneeze. And guess who's up now? B is wide awake just staring at me, awesome. And of course it can't be a normal sneeze, no, I had to do it 4TIMES! I'm tired, another sleepless night for me, I'd also really like a shower.
Only three hours instead of the 5 hours she was giving regularly last week. This better be part of her 6 wks growth spurt because this mama got too used to more sleep already. Oh and DH was still up at 4am. I'm currently plotting on whether to make this night rougher on him because really?
I'm pretty sure my boobs are going to fall off but it's so with the extra sleep. She's been asleep since 11:30. It's now 4:30 and she's just now waking up. I woke up before her and spent the last several minutes debating about my pump..
Trying to transition LO to her crib from the swing. This is the 2nd night. She did so well yesterday just fussed for a few minutes. Hoping tonight stays as easy as last night. I just hate to hear her fuss even if its for just a few minutes.
Not MOTN. but, I should be sleeping right now... LO has been passed out in a milk coma for about an hour and a half, she pounded for the first time ever 4 ounces of milk. I'm curious if she's even going to be hungry come her next feed time. But I can't sleep.. i'm wired... no clue why. I'm just not ready to sleep.. meanwhile, hubby is next to me snoring away
So, normally I don't mind if DH watches TWD, but tonight just pissed me off. The tv was lipid as hell and not only did that prevent me from going to sleep, but it also prevented LO from going into a deep sleep, and he ended up waking up as soon as it was over. Fml. Now hubby is fricking snoring away and I just want to kick him.

Same boat here. Gave DS a bath since he was wide awake from before 5 when I got home from work til 730, he pounded a 5 oz bottle after at 815 and is out cold snoring and dreaming away. DH is snoring away next to me. Slept maybe four hours last night, worked an 8 hour shift at work (Second day back) which was a horrible day ... Very emotional from events at work. And here I am wide awake on my phone with Friends DVD on the tv in the bedroom.
We have had a terrible fussy day and the baby will not let me put him down. DH leaves for two weeks in the morning and refuses to help me tonight because "he needs his rest" I could literally kill him right now.
LO has been fussy and restless all evening. She hasn't slept much and when she did it wasn't a deep sleep. Hopefully she goes down soon and sleeps a few hours. Momma's gotta sleep. My 6 week check up is tomorrow and we are attempting our first solo grocery shopping trip.
I have been sitting here for the last hour crying because i took stupid migraine meds so i can't nurse and LO will not let me put her down. And the worst part is my headache has not been touched. Would be worth the pump and dump if my head felt better. Hubs is bitching he needs to sleep for work so wont come rock her so i can sleep. She is hitting and clawing at me because she wants to nurse. Fuck my life right now. Oh and she doesn't want to be swaddled tonight so keeps startling herself
I'm sorry momma you aren't feeling well. Don't beat yourself up about the meds and not being able to feed. Can you contact your doc in the morning to see if there's something different you can try if your headache isn't gone or for the future? Remember a healthy baby starts with a healthy momma so make sure to get yourself better too. Are you supplementing along with BFing? Or do you have a fridge or freezer stash? I'm trying to think of how you can fake LO into thinking you are nursing when you aren't ... Is that even possible?
Hopefully you can get this migraine to go away. And hopefully DH will see how upset you and baby are and come to the rescue. Nights are so hard.
A little jealous H doesn't hear lo and therefore not helping me tonight. I know if I say anything he'll ask "want me to get her" then I'll have to punch him in the face. So I'm avoiding all that.
Little does he known he's taking her in the morning so I can sleep more.

@tigger99 sorry you're not feeling well and having such a rough night:( I hope your migraine goes away soon and LO sleeps for you.
Today is my first motn feed in about 4 days. He did have a nice 5 hour stretch so I'm not complaining. He woke with this weird startled cry like he was scared and I couldn't rock him back to sleep. Poor guy. So he's eating now. I only slept maybe 2 hours because we were binge watching Scandal on Netflix. Damn you, Olivia Pope.
Re: MOTN Check-In
Same here, but now I'm kind of wondering who the crazy creep is here.
It'll either happen on here or FB!!

Also, on bath nights we're getting a 5-6 hour stretches! Bath night every night!
