MOTN Check-In

amom2four · October 2014

I was forced to get up because someone wanted his butt changed and out of his bed. Not because he wanted to eat. Wtf, kid? He was screaming as I was trying to get him latched but that was not what he wanted.

Meanwhile, dh brought home a cold and now I have it. I'm so pissed off that this is the 2nd time this week he has been sick and has spent a week on the damn couch where I get both kids in the bed. And during the day, he's worthless also. I don't get much done because someone has to sit and bf the baby all day but what's your excuse jackass? A cold? Quit crying and help out. I am losing my damn mind and ready to kick dh because he's not the only one who feels like shit! Ugh. Sorry. End rant.

Wide awake at 4:30... Seriously?

ashaw512 · October 2014

I just want sleep

pshaortao · October 2014

A quarter past 2am and LO has only slept a half hour top. I'm fearing that her 6wks growth spurt never started and is starting late. On the bright side, DH and I finally DTD and it wasn't as bad as I anticipated it would be!

jht14 · October 2014

DH is mad because his alarms woke up DD again and I got snapped at him. Are four alarms really necessary? And if they are can you please just put the phone next to your head so that you can turn it off quicker?

peanutbuttervibes · October 2014

I just want to sleep in my own bed.

brittneyandadam · October 2014

I am so sick of this. Ive been trying to get her to sleep for 2 fucking hours. I just want to scream at her, throw her in the damn crib, shut thr nursery door, and let her cry. It's not fucking fair that DH gets to sleep while I'm stuck dealing with this crap.

Sometimes you have to just put her down and walk away for a bit. Go get a drink and come back. Sometimes they just need to "reset" a bit. Hang in there.

It's two hours later but I hope she has settled down. Have you discussed with DH about redistributing duties? Especially since you are back at work?

Ahlome08 · October 2014

@brittneyandadam‌ *hugs* sorry you are having a hard time.

On another note: I may have found my substitute, premade lactation cookies

they don't have flax seed or brewers yeast in them that I know of, but the iced oatmeal cookies they have at the dollar tree are only $1 and after 3 cookies before bed, I woke up engorged. These may not help someone too much who is struggling with supply, but, if you just want something that can slightly up your supply, these are probably for you. Also, I these don't have that oatmeal texture (which I hate), so they're perfect if you have a texture problem with some foods.

JustCricket · October 2014

so im lazy... and for night feeds if I need to change her I just put her on the bed and change there... well she decide to pee mid change again (so not only a boy problem to have pee go everywhere once the cold air hits) thankfully I caught most of it wit the diaper.... and i had to contemplate if it was enough that escaped to our sheets to change. Glad it was small enough b/c I didn't want to change the sheets.

JustCricket · October 2014

also I'm sorry to all dealing with babies that won't sleep and/or frustrating husbands

Bella2425 · October 2014

I knew the 5 hr stretch last night was a fluke. Back to eating every 3 including an hour to fall asleep.

And the night sweats.... Lord!!!!

jht14 · October 2014

LO has been asleep since 10:30. DH turned off my alarm to so I would get her a bottle around 1am. I feel so bad because she's never gone that long between bottles. But it was great actually sleeping.

@brittneyandadam‌ my LO has been doing the exact same thing. I have put her in her crib and walked away for a few minutes and it made her happy. It's like she was tired of being held. The first time I did it she just wanted to lay and look around. She also ended up falling asleep.

mana8503 · October 2014

I finally got lo asleep, I get into bed and H wants ME to set my alarm for HIM to get up in 30 mins. Then snaps at me when I ask him to not make me push the snooze 20 times. I wanna sleep! He took 2 naps today, and slept 10 hours last night. He only got up with E when she woke up at 7am. But I'm suppose to worship the ground he walks on because he let me sleep an extra 2 hours this morning (one with him after he got E back asleep).

Also, H and lo gave me their cold. My throat is killing me.

kateronium · October 2014

2 am is not play time. Go to sleep

kateronium · October 2014

Two words ladies: yoga ball.. Not just good for pregnancy

stephanie123456 · October 2014

DH takes LO every night from 9/10-12:30 so I can nap and not be exhausted for the night shift. Well LO has been extra colicky today and when I woke up tonight from my nap, I heard DH calling for me. Apparently LO had been crying for the past 45 minutes and DH seemed like he was about to have a breakdown. He started ranting about sleep training and crap but I tried telling him that it's a little early but he wouldn't listen. Ummm he's a baby, he cries. I go through it all the time.

brittneyandadam · October 2014

Thanks ladies...I was up for another hour and at one point I thought she was asleep and just brought her into bed with me snd DH. She just cried and actually woke up DH who muttered something about sleeping on the couch. I went back into the nursery and shut the door--DH came in and took her from me. He went downstairs and walked her around the kitchen...she fell fast asleep.

I did put her in the crib at one point but she just cried even harder.

peanutbuttervibes · October 2014

Glad you made it through the night @brittneyandadam‌!

pshaortao · October 2014

Two nights in a row LO decided not to go to sleep until 230am. This better not happen again. We did get a visitor right outside of our front door of our second floor apartment. How bizarre!

ewwwwwwwwwww! that thing is nasty! I hope it stayed away and was a short visit

redtoes13 · October 2014

She's got a cold and a growth spurt. Here. We. Go.

JustCricket · October 2014

@tigger99 fuck neighbors. especially oneslike that

Ahlome08 · October 2014

So, new development here: LO will not take a paci to be soothed anymore, he will only take One when hungry. Wtf? I only figured this out after he used me for a paci twice today and it took me 20 mins to realize that's what he was doing.

kateronium · October 2014

Rrrrr you already did your freak out for the night.. why are we having a repeat... Go to sleep I'm tired

mana8503 · October 2014

Damn you thunderstorms that are so loud the house shakes and wakes up the baby.

And damn you cold!

Murphyer · October 2014

How can someone so cute be so cruel?

Daisy1232 · October 2014

LO slept from 9-2! He had only been sleeping 2 hour stretches at night! Hooray!

Bella2425 · October 2014

Five hours of sleep!!!!! I feel like I could go run a marathon right now! Of course he's wide awake now but I can't even be mad.

It's natures first line of defense so we don't kill em..

jht14 · October 2014

LO either needs to take a binky or get over it. I'm so fuckin tired of holding it in her mouth then her having a meltdown when she loses it while falling asleep.

sapphires-and-diamonds · October 2014

Side lying to nurse has changed my motn life. How did I not start doing this sooner?

Texasgurly0313 · October 2014

T had his two month appointment and shots today, and after sleeping for pretty much the whole day afterward, he didn't get to sleep till almost midnight tonight. If it was any other night, I would be pissed, but I know today wasn't pleasant and it totally messed up his sleeping schedule. Poor thing.

I go back to work for a full shift tomorrow night, so hopefully he is feeling better by then, so DH doesn't lose his mind. I might get a break somewhere in there to come home, but this will be DH's first full night by himself if not.

MrsLaLaBug · October 2014

I swear to Gawd if DH keeps me up with his snoring tonight I'm gonna need to lawyer up by tomorrow morning...

Agreed. Elbows to the ribs always end the snoring at my house. I used to feel bad but misery loves company. If I have to wake up several times throughout the night for our daughter, he can wake up to stop the damn snoring and/or get his ass on his side of the bed.

mana8503 · October 2014

Hour 3 of trying to keep lo asleep. She passes out, but wakes up 10-15 mins later. I've swaddled, white noise, paci, changed diapers, rocked for 30 mins to make sure she's asleep, gave her the boobie... Make it stop!

This... This isme..

lbonga1 · October 2014

I'm trying to figure out why my LO has gas at night, but not during the day. She takes longer naps than stretches of sleep at night because of it, and it's driving me crazy!

ETA Also I couldn't eat dinner until 10:30 because DD2 wouldn't go to sleep, DD1 got her leg caught in the crib bars and woke up screaming, and it is now 10:53 and DD2 woke up again. Aaaahhhh!!!

ashaw512 · October 2014

I'm so excited DD went and got in her bed by herself and went to sleep for the first time! She's been sleeping with me in the guest bed for the past week! Before I would have to sit on the side of her bed and wait for her to fall asleep. Both of my babies are asleep it 1 in the morning, wtf am I not asleep?!?! Well at least I can watch American horror story, it doesn't help that I'm terrified of clowns. That clown is scary!
