  Hugs to you. I pray lo sleeps soon so you can nap or enjoy the quiet. Still try to get your dad's wife to follow through with watching baby. Even a couple hours away can be sooooooo therapeutic. These leaps can be very frustrating and challenging no matter what. The 4th has been thee worst for us. ::::more hugs for you::::

  Thank you! It all really piles up quickly. I haven't had a haircut since early August & Im just feeling frumpy, down, & stretched too thin. I'm sure it will get better. Sometimes you just have to flail in the mudd when you're already in it. Lol!

  This is me right now. I haven't cried yet but I'm on thin ice. Hubby gets so angry because I have to walk away or I basically beg LO to stop. He doesn't want to be anywhere except my arms lately and I'm exhausted

  I felt like this a few days ago. Baby wouldn't sleep at night and would just scream if I wasn't holding him. Happened for a solid week. Last night was rough again. He ended up sleeping from 6am-Noon?! I feel like a zombie and have a very sore throat! I was looking up vasectomy doctor reviews on the Internet!!!! Not joking. I told my DH one is perfect. If I had help or slept at night, it would be so much more bearable. Air hugs to you. Use that coupon, too. LOL

  Cash in that certificate!! Even if it is tough for her - it is just for a few hours. You deserve a break!! I've found that I feel soooooo much better and am way more on my "mom" game after even just a few hours off.

  Luckily hubs took her on 2 long stroller rides. I knew that's what she needed but Ive been in so much pain the last few days with this weather changing where I live. She's asleep now.. so hopefully just another feeding & diaper change & she'll be ready for bed. She's got to be exhausted.

  Sleep deprivation is not fun at all! It is hard and it will get so much better!

  You sound so much like me, its crazy. It gets better. 4th leap is haard and that first 2 weeks of it is a nightmare but I'm almost at the end and it's already gotten better. Plus LO seems to have even more of a personality now so there is a light at the end of the tunnel! My wedding anniversary is the 9th. (Happy anniversary to us both!) My family is the same way. Chin up, momma bear. Sometimes you just have to keep telling yourself this time is temporary along with all the not so fun parts.

  Mama you are not alone I posted something similar the other day , I was really questioning how people can have more than one baby.
  
  Get a break a proper one of someone has offered take it, anyone that offers even 30 minutes I now take it because you need any sanity check that you can get.
  
  When LO is grizzly pass them to SO for half an hour and take a shower wash your hair and use a scrub, it's amazing how good a shower can make you feel when your held is melting. You are not alone and this time will pass hang in there xx

  Put the baby down and walk away close the door and take a few minutes. Do what ever you want. Cry, have a drink, call a friend that understands (hell, call me I can give you my number in PM) The baby is going to be fine.
  It's hard and your an awesome mom!
  About that one free pass - what the F! One?! Just one?!! She gave you one "free" pass so that you would stress out about when to use it? She can shove it where the sun don't shine.

  Love this response!! The past few days I've been strapping baby in her stroller & taking very vigorous walks & that has helped tremendously! I plug in my ear buds & turn up the jams & just zone out for an hour. She enjoys the wind through her hairs too. When she starts getting fussy away we go. It makes us both happy!

  Oh, how I miss our daily walks! They're not happening again for quite some time here in frigid Minnesota At least the winter has been mild so far in comparison to other years!

  Are you in to podcasts? They are always fun to listen to on walks.
  I take walks everyday because we have a dog and Lo always takes a long nap. We come home and she is still sleeping for a few minutes or an hour.

  I agree. Sometimes the best thing to do is put baby in crib turn on the mobile and walk away to calm yourself down. I've definitely had those moments when LO is literally screaming nonstop and I can't do anything to console him.
