Now that he is working from home instead of driving 2+ hours to work, I feel less bad ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nightshift-bees-or-bees-just-still-awake-whats-up#post-624309 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 13:03:37 +0000 walnutems 624309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aprk: I feel your pain! I have a snoring husband and often have to take shifts on the couch. I always feel so guilty making him sleep on the couch but dangit he's one that's so loud! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nightshift-bees-or-bees-just-still-awake-whats-up#post-624227 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 10:22:11 +0000 anonysquire 624227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: ya opposite schedules will be nice for the no daycare part!</p> <p>@Mrs Hedgehog: Ya I'm stressing a bit too. I'm not sure yet if I'll work like the weekends when DH has them off, or just get my work over with during the week and enjoy the weekends together. My schedule is very flexible and can change from week to week so I'm lucky. I think we will end up taking it week by week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nightshift-bees-or-bees-just-still-awake-whats-up#post-623806 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 06:30:32 +0000 hellobeeboston 623806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sera_87: ooh I'm sorry for the rough night - hopefully the day will be better... Can DH help? Maybe do something fun? Mall and buy something if LO sleeps in his stroller/carseat? Last day before weekend!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nightshift-bees-or-bees-just-still-awake-whats-up#post-623795 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 06:19:03 +0000 illumina 623795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm catching up on last nights threads. It's 11.30am here in England. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nightshift-bees-or-bees-just-still-awake-whats-up#post-623788 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 06:06:49 +0000 singingbee 623788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm here. Fur baby decided it was time to play! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nightshift-bees-or-bees-just-still-awake-whats-up#post-623778 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 05:56:57 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 623778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm up nursing... he wakes up like clockwork every 2-3 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nightshift-bees-or-bees-just-still-awake-whats-up#post-623777 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 05:56:22 +0000 loveisstrange 623777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm here too, but it's 11 am here in England. Im cleaning my house and about to put C down for a nap. Then its to the grocery store and cooking because we're having people over tonight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nightshift-bees-or-bees-just-still-awake-whats-up#post-623767 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 05:50:36 +0000 cascademom 623767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm here. We had our 1.5 hour wake up time. He was so drowsy, but refused to sleep. I woke up earlier than his wakeup expecting to be woken up. I haven't fallen back asleep since. You know how runners get great ideas/revelations when they run. It seems I get my good ideas while on the night shift with baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nightshift-bees-or-bees-just-still-awake-whats-up#post-623748 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 05:42:11 +0000 sera_87 623748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm here. LO was up no less than 6 times last night and finally woke up "for good" at 4:30am. So I took him for a drive to get coffee and he's now passed out in his carseat and I'm stuck in my car for the time being. I'm just at my limit. Right now I'm thinking to the day ahead and having to deal with him and I feel like ugly crying. </p> <p>About to ask DH to skip work, but he'll probably say no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nightshift-bees-or-bees-just-still-awake-whats-up#post-623745 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 05:37:53 +0000 SweetMamaM 623745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm here... It's 11:36 in NZ and this is the first chance I've had to sit down all day! DHs having his 30th birthday tomorrow so I have been decorating the house </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nightshift-bees-or-bees-just-still-awake-whats-up#post-623717 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 03:39:53 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 623717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: I am actually super worried about that! I hardly see Mr. Hedgie the nights I work and since I work 12's I go home, pass out, wake up long enough to eat, shower and go back to work. How am I supposed to have a baby on a normal schedule much less be able to see them during my work week? The flipside is I have a short workweek because I work longer hours so I get more time with them on my long "weekends".</p> <p>How do you plan on managing this because I am seriously stressing the F out on the subject? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nightshift-bees-or-bees-just-still-awake-whats-up#post-623713 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 03:28:02 +0000 Honeybee 623713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: No kidding. That That's got to be hard. Not paying for full-time childcare would be nice, though! When I go back to work next year, DH and I hope to stagger our schedules so we won't need childcare besides part-time preschool. It really seems like the best situation! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nightshift-bees-or-bees-just-still-awake-whats-up#post-623708 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 03:20:11 +0000 anonysquire 623708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: since I work graveyards Im pretty much up late anyways. So it will be crazy trying to find a good schedule and balance! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nightshift-bees-or-bees-just-still-awake-whats-up#post-623705 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 03:16:50 +0000 Honeybee 623705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: If you have to be up at 1 am, this is the way to do it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nightshift-bees-or-bees-just-still-awake-whats-up#post-623703 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 03:14:59 +0000 anonysquire 623703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: hopefully!

It seems whenever I get on in the evenings it's pretty quiet because of the time difference. </p>
