Thankfully, he made it until 2 (still not enough, though, because he woke up screaming). Still, at least we should be able to put him to bed at 7, a slightly more normal time.</p> <p>Hopefully this is the last day of this ... He's not eating well, either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-frustrating#post-571242 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 16:18:01 +0000 mrbee 571242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Yoyo: hope naps are going ok!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-frustrating#post-570741 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 06:54:07 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 570741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh. Up at 530 this morning despite a restless night. Tried to coax an extra hour out of him, but no dice. Now the problem becomes naps. If I wait until his normal naptime he'll prob be OT. If I give him an earlier nap, he'll prob wake up too soon and be OT by bedtime.</p> <p>Ughhhh. At least I finished my latest freelance project before this hit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-frustrating#post-570578 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 22:09:02 +0000 apis 570578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs-yoyo: that's what we always manage to do with phrases like:</p> <p> "I think he's asleep now."<br /> "He should definitely be out by now."</p> <p>and the perennial jinx:</p> <p> "Well, he didn't nap, so..." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-frustrating#post-570541 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 21:14:28 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 570541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>GAH I just jinxed myself by posting. He's crying again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-frustrating#post-570537 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 21:13:56 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 570537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: Yeah ... I think he'll really have to get worked up for me to go back in ... it's not worth it! Gone are the days when I could just nurse him back to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-frustrating#post-570517 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 21:01:22 +0000 Rubies 570517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has been the same way (she's 18.5 months - almost the same age as your LO)...She has crying fits at night when she's sick. Her crying is hard but not 5-alarm and I rest assured because I literally time her crying and 3-4 minutes FEELS like a life time but she ultimately cries herself back to sleep. I know that if I go in, it'll make it worse. Unless it's a tragic 5-alarm cry, I won't even consider going inside. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-frustrating#post-570479 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 20:26:04 +0000 autumnlove 570479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry. My LO also sleeps poorly when she is sick. :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-frustrating#post-570478 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 20:25:18 +0000 matador84 570478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsyoyo and isn't it so weird, fever? DS was fine and then daycare called thurs and he spiked a random 103<br /> Fever. It's hovered around 101 since then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-frustrating#post-570475 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 20:24:01 +0000 matador84 570475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsyoyo same, we paid a 45$ co pay! However they prescribed us something called cardec which will help with congestion and bring down fever. </p> <p>DS hates meds too. I've found just putting the syringe at the back of his throat and holding his head straight really quick gets it over with fast! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-frustrating#post-570467 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 20:15:21 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 570467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I should also say this is the first night I haven't given him meds, but he felt fine before bed. Hesitant to do it now because he REALLY hates taking them and we have to physically hold him down. He still manages to spit out at least half of it. Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-frustrating#post-570461 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 20:13:51 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 570461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: Not a cold ... just some random virus. Fever but nothing else. I took him to the doc just in case to rule out anything else since the fever was really sudden and high. Nope, just a virus, which I had to pay a $25 copay to hear. Gah. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-frustrating#post-570457 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 20:11:59 +0000 matador84 570457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I understand! DS has a terrible cold and was up every hour last night! Ahhhh!!!! Praying tonight is better! Can you prop up your LO? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-frustrating#post-570456 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 20:11:45 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 570456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: It varies. More than the normal whining but not quite five-alarm pissed-off. Just CLEARLY overtired. He may have cried himself back to sleep this time. *Knock on wood*</p> <p>I can't wedge my arm very far through his crib slats -- they're kind of thick! Even so, it's just that we never have to do this, so if I'm in his room, that means UP, not sleep. So I'm better off only going in as a last resort! I would send in DH, but LO has wanted next to nothing to do with him while he's been sick, which has sucked for everyone (DH feels bad, I feel bad for him, and of course I can't catch a break). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-frustrating#post-570446 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 20:07:23 +0000 mrbee 570446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How frantic is his crying?</p> <p>Yesterday Olive was crying (not that hard tho) and so Bee went in there, but it made it worse! Bee ended up laying down next to Olive's crib and putting her hand on Olive's back... that helped! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-frustrating#post-570437 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 20:03:22 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 570437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is sick, and consequently has been sleeping poorly. Today he seemed to be just about over his fever, but his nap was still really crappy. We put him to bed super early to compensate, as we have the past few nights. It's only been 90 mins and he's already been up crying his head off twice. I went in once, shhhhed him, he screamed after I left, and then passed out. Thought we were in the clear. Nope, he's up again.</p> <p>It's been so long since he's given us trouble that I have no flippin' clue how to get him to sleep when he's like this! </p>
