It's kinda cute and I secretly love it. But it's exhausting holding her all night. She's a chubby wubby baby. And of course my son is whining that HE wants to be held just like his sister. There are a lot of times that I'm holding BOTH of them! Can you imagine? My son is 3 1/2!!! I can only do that for like 3 minutes though and then I put him down. And then of course he starts crying and complaining. Sorry...this actually happened last night so I'm venting a little. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-forward-to-your-lo-going-to-bed/page/2#post-1159127 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 13:40:59 +0000 LuLu Mom 1159127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually yes, she gets crabby when tired, so she's not fun to be around ;) I hate that it comes quickly but I don't like the alternative! ha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-forward-to-your-lo-going-to-bed/page/2#post-1159122 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 13:39:45 +0000 mrskc 1159122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: yep, exactly what happens with my LO. He will have a great day at daycare and be in a great mood for them. As soon as I get home, he clings to my leg and whines for me all evening. I can hardly even go to the bathroom! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-forward-to-your-lo-going-to-bed/page/2#post-1159001 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 13:06:29 +0000 banana 1159001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: YES! By the time I get home, my DD is super cranky and tired from being at daycare all day. So I get maybe an hour of quality time before she starts whining and crying from being tired. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-forward-to-your-lo-going-to-bed/page/2#post-1158993 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 13:04:48 +0000 mrskc 1158993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a WOHM and yes I look forward to bedtime. I feel bad saying that! I love spending time with him but he gets super cranky and whiney before bed and it drives me crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-forward-to-your-lo-going-to-bed/page/2#post-1158980 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 13:00:54 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1158980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes because dinnertime is so stressful and i'm just ready for a break after it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-forward-to-your-lo-going-to-bed/page/2#post-1158978 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 13:00:31 +0000 cascademom 1158978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I look forward to LO going to bed. Even though we see him awake for an hour or so after work, it's a very busy hour as well as worrying about what we'll eat, etc. I need a breather sometimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-forward-to-your-lo-going-to-bed/page/2#post-1158977 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 13:00:13 +0000 BoogieBea 1158977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For sure! I feel bad too. Unfortunately, after they go to bed, I'll have a good hour of cleanup time =( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-forward-to-your-lo-going-to-bed/page/2#post-1158953 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 12:52:23 +0000 banana 1158953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: So she woke up and he went to work? OMG. Even if she would've woken up on her own, I would've still blamed him for that! :) But seriously....how cute are babies when they first wake up??? :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-forward-to-your-lo-going-to-bed/page/2#post-1158945 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 12:48:39 +0000 Foodnerd81 1158945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: he didn't mean to, but when he opened the door and kissed her headshe woke up. To be fair she probably would have soon anyway, but you know every minute of sleep counts! And he couldn't even stay, he had to go to work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-forward-to-your-lo-going-to-bed/page/2#post-1158941 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 12:47:01 +0000 banana 1158941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: OMG if I actually woke her up, he'd be PISSED. haha. I always joke about it but I never actually do it. He actually woke her up? OY! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-forward-to-your-lo-going-to-bed/page/2#post-1158899 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 12:34:19 +0000 Foodnerd81 1158899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: Dh makes jokes like that and gets the death stare. He actually insisted on going into her room to kiss her goodbye one morning and it woke her up. I was so tired I just kept staring at him saying incredulously, you woke her up!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-forward-to-your-lo-going-to-bed#post-1158883 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 12:30:06 +0000 banana 1158883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: LOL! Sometimes after my daughter goes to bed, I joke with my husband that we should wake her up because I want to hold her!! He always gets annoyed when I say that. haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-forward-to-your-lo-going-to-bed#post-1158751 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 11:56:50 +0000 scotchbonnet 1158751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: same here. I would love to say I look forward to her going to sleep but it just doesn't make a difference as I know she will be waking up soon anyway. There has been a couple of nights when I have just literally stayed up in the middle of the night and waited for her to wake up as I knew it would be within an hour. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-forward-to-your-lo-going-to-bed#post-1158734 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 11:54:28 +0000 Smurfette 1158734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! But at the same time I hate it cause we get an hour together in the evenings. I want so badly to go pick her up and hold her while she sleeps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-forward-to-your-lo-going-to-bed#post-1158723 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 11:52:13 +0000 JessKas 1158723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally look forward to bedtime, but I usually pass out soon after. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-forward-to-your-lo-going-to-bed#post-1157595 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 21:33:07 +0000 fancyfunction 1157595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha yes as a SAHM sometimes by the end of the day she is just one big crank! So then I'm ready for her to go to bed - which my husband usually handles. But then I do miss her during the night and check on her a few times. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-forward-to-your-lo-going-to-bed#post-1157555 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 21:11:12 +0000 MsLipGloss 1157555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes when I am really tired, I just want to be able to sit and not have to worry about what she is about to get into . . . but I miss her at night, as corny as that sounds. My heart aches a little every time I see her on the monitor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-forward-to-your-lo-going-to-bed#post-1157534 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 21:07:05 +0000 Sammyfab 1157534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!!! I'm exhausted from a long day at work and bedtime is actually one of the sweetest times of the day for us. My LO is crazy about his routines and I love going through our bedtime rituals together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-forward-to-your-lo-going-to-bed#post-1157515 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 21:02:57 +0000 RubyCali 1157515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This thread makes me feel better... I'm not alone! Love getting her in the morning but very ready to send her off to dreamland every night :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-forward-to-your-lo-going-to-bed#post-1157502 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 21:00:04 +0000 Boheme 1157502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. It stresses me out because it starts the cycle of around 10 wake ups a night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-forward-to-your-lo-going-to-bed#post-1157500 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 20:59:54 +0000 heartonastring 1157500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, and also naps. I'm sorry if that makes me a terrible mother, but mama can only sing Wheels on the Bus a finite number of times before losing my sanity! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-forward-to-your-lo-going-to-bed#post-1157498 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 20:59:31 +0000 betsyboop 1157498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! But then when Im kissing her goodnight I get sad that I won't get to see her until the next morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-forward-to-your-lo-going-to-bed#post-1157490 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 20:58:26 +0000 Andrea 1157490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, SAHM so I get lots of time with these kiddies. Go to bed .... lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-forward-to-your-lo-going-to-bed#post-1157483 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 20:57:24 +0000 sarac 1157483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I often think that I wish she would wake up for ten minutes, snuggle, and then immediately go back to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-forward-to-your-lo-going-to-bed#post-1157249 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 20:12:15 +0000 Boogs 1157249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another SAHM here, and YES! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-forward-to-your-lo-going-to-bed#post-1157225 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 20:07:56 +0000 apis 1157225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: I completely agree. Some nights DS is having a great time playing with me, I hand him over to DW for milk and then when we put him down, he's out like trout.</p> <p>Other nights, it's like Wagner's Ring Cycle trying to get him to bed: it takes hours, there's a lot of crying, and everyone ends up tired all over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-forward-to-your-lo-going-to-bed#post-1156967 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 19:32:20 +0000 Amelieisme 1156967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally. And I'm a WOHM too :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-forward-to-your-lo-going-to-bed#post-1156959 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 19:31:07 +0000 regberadaisy 1156959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually sometimes dread bedtime because I have no idea if it's going to be an easy or hard night. Ie tonight started at 7:20 it's now 8:30 and we're still working on it. Sigh. </p> <p>But last night she wanted to sleep at 6:40 and was dead asleep in 15! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-forward-to-your-lo-going-to-bed#post-1156946 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 19:28:29 +0000 boots 1156946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, sometimes!! I always cave after 30-45 minutes and go snuggle her ;) </p>
