I only want SUPPORTIVE giffers on this thread. You may only comment if:
1. Your baby is waking up all the damn time. 
2. You're so tired you might never sleep again. 
3. You remember the great fisting thread of 2015. 
4. You love gifs. 
5. You want to post gifs that sum up your life. 
6. Or if you are @BostonBaby1

    I can never gif on the app, but I want to appreciate the fisting thread.  I wasn't super active at that time,  but DH and I would read that thread and just die laughing.

    SAHM who has been exclusively pumping for the last 2 months.  My life is a constant cycle of feed, burp, pump, wash pump parts and bottles, do it all over again. DH has slept through the night since day 1 back from the hospital so I'm on my own.

    I was feeling pretty superior about my baby's sleeping habits for the last couple months and laughed in the face of the four month regression. Karma is such a bitch. 

    Also I don't know how to gif and I'm too tired to be clever sooooo...

    I'm pretty sure I belong here. I am in the 4 month sleep regression hell with the added benefit of having my migraines return from their pregnancy retreat. Having to nurse and bounce and rock a baby for hours just to get a couple hours of sleep while feeling like your head is being smashed with hammers and feeling like you'll puke must be a new form of hell.

    on the plus side she's starting to give me 3 1/2 hour stretch instead of every 1-2 hours and I can't believe I see that as an improvement, but here I am. 



    I very much feel you on the migraine front. Also a chronic sufferer who enjoyed a reprieve during the 2nd and 3rd trimesters. But my trigger is stress, and apparently nothing stresses your body quite like lack of sleep. If it weren't for missing sleep, I might get pregnant again just to have another break from the pain...

    After he woke me up every 45 minutes to eat, then acted bright eyed and bushy tailed after my 4 am work alarm.

    If there's melatonin in breastmilk then why won't this kid sleep?  He eats. All. The. Time.

    Migrelief has been a godsend for me. I went from almost daily migraines to maybe 2-3 a year.

    Interesting, I've never heard of that before but I'll have to check it out. I usually take imitrex when I get my migraines but I can't while BFing, so I'm taking Advil that might as well be gummy bears for as good as it works.

    @breezypip It was recommended to me by a neurologist after prescriptions didn't work. I had to take it for a while before noticing a difference and he'd said I could take it three times a day instead of two starting out. I took it the first few months and thought it was a bust so I stopped and found out pretty quickly that was wrong.

    Gelstat migraine is great for getting rid of a migraine.

    I read this this morning (after only 3 wake ups last night....which was glorious compared the 8 wake ups we were getting!) while my students were taking their EOY tests.  That was a mistake.  I couldn't hold in my laughter, and they kept looking over at me all hurt and confused!
