Hellobee Boards

@Adira: DH and I had that conversation last week! I basically cried like a maniac and told him that I couldn't do everything myself anymore!!! He was pretty responsive and totally got SO MUCH done this weekend while I was away on a business trip! Maybe sit down after Z goes to bed (maybe with a warm hot chocolate or cup of tea) and have a conversation about it!

@Adira: fingers crossed you guys get on the same page!! If not- you can just bitch to me about him!! @QueensBee: YESSSSS!!!

Well last night she woke up once for my sister and then once when we got home. So two times by 930, totally not normal. DH and I have her motrin and then she slept all night. I am getting ready to leave for work and she is still asleep. Glad she is getting some rest!

@Smurfette: Glad she got some better sleep after the motrin. Did you have a good date night?

@Adira: That is not fun that he keeps waking up earlier.

We had an ok night. He woke up twice. The second time I didn't think he'd go back to sleep (4am) but I took him to the spare room and we laid down together and he woke up around 6am. That was nice.

@Adira: Glad you were able to get ready for work without him screaming.

@ALV91711: As much as I hate it when LO wakes up so early, I do love those morning snuggles if they actually fall asleep! Hope you are enjoying your day at home with him.

@Smurfette: It would feel wild to be out on a Tuesday night date! Happy R got some sleep! Is DH home for this whole week?

Last night was better for us, He cried a bit before falling asleep and woke up at 5:15am. Then he cuddled in bed for about 45 more minutes. I can't complain.

So- I totally forgot my wedding Anniversary is tomorrow!! I haven't even bought a card yet! Silly me.

@cheert16: Happy anniversary!

@Smurfette: Sounds like a lovely weekend ahead for you.

@QueensBee: Hope this night was as good as last night!

Our's was craptastic again. He started crying a little before 11pm so we just got ready for bed and took him with us and he just could not fall asleep so it was 12:30am until he finally settled down and slept. I don't even remember the last night he slept through the night in his own bed. I want our bed back!

@Adira: I had a nightmare about bradley 2 nights ago- it was terrible and I was up for the rest of the night! They are the worst

Yeah last DH was helping R brush her teeth and I was going to take her to go read stories, full on crying, and she pushed me away when I tried to take her from his arms. She went to bed no issues for him. Then her 2nd wake up of the night, he was holding her and I gave her Motrin (she pointed to her mouth when he asked her if something hurt). Then I took her to rock her. Crying with tears saying Dada, so after 5 mins DH comes back. She snuggles to him, and is silent and asleep within 5 mins.

She doesn't like me

@Smurfette: She loves you! B does this all the time too. But on days when he's more with dad and I come home late he gets all excited seeing me and pretty much doesn't leave my side. It's still hard being pushed away though Hugs

@Adira: Hope he keeps up the good sleep. We had a good sleep last night. He did not make a peep all night which was surprising with everything that is going on in his little body. We were still up early but that was ok. I'm not going to hold my breath on two great nights though.

@Smurfette: Pete acted like this with his Aunt (my sister-in-law), who was staying with us all weekend. I know in my heart he loves me too, but it can be hard to watch a strong preference for someone else!

I hope you enjoyed your girls weekend!

@Adira: Happy for you but also green with envy! Sleep has been terrible! Pete was up at 11:30pm and 2:30am, in bed with us by 4am, and awake for the day at 6:00am. I feel like we have created a sleep monster!

On the talking front, Pete is officially a parrot. He copies everything we say. "Geez, kid." "Oh my gosh!" and "One, two, THREE!" are just a few of the gems he picked up this weekend. We have to really watch what we say now (no more cursing!), because he will repeat it over and over.

He also chose to spend the day shirtless, but wearing mittens. He looked pretty ridiculous tromping around the house with his big belly hanging out and mittens on his hands... Toddlers!

@Smurfette: Glad you had a fun weekend but that sucks that you are still sick. Poor R, glad she is sleeping better though.

@QueensBee: I hope he goes back to sleeping better soon. So cute that he was wearing mittens. I tried to put mittens on Isaac today so we could go for a walk and he had a little melt down.

@Smurfette: I can't believe it happened again! Do they have idea why her eardrum bursts? She's such a good sport about it!

Hope you are feeling better today!

@Adira: Sorry to hear it!

Pete slept until 4:50am today, which is actually pretty good for us. I was determined to keep him in his crib, so I gave him a pacifier, laid him down, and rubbed his back. He seemed to fall asleep. As soon as I left the room, he leapt up and started to scream again. This cycle repeated itself 2 more times. Finally, I brought in a pillow and a blanket so I could lay on the floor beside him. He fell asleep for another 15 minutes or so with this set up but it didn't last long. At this point, it was 5:45am anyway so we just started our day. Fail. I need a new strategy for tonight!

@QueensBee: it bursts when an infection doesn't heal.

@Adira: I was so happy for a 5:30 wake up today!

@QueensBee: That is a rough start to the morning. I hope tomorrow is better.

We had a crappy sleep last night after a few decent nights. But I think it is because he had a terrible short nap yesterday. He always naps great at daycare, so hopefully that means a better night tonight.

And hopefully this regression ends for everyone soon.

@Adira: I'm so dreading the time change. 5:30 is normal for us and I'm ok with that since we have to be out the door by 6:30. But I'm not ok with 4:30 being wake up time and that is what a lot of days have been lately.
