Exhausting. So I'm currently lying in bed with him next to me. I have to pee SOO bad but I can't move! He can crawl so I can't chance him waking up! Ahhh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-things-we-do-for-sleep#post-1795528 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 17:09:25 +0000 lil owl 1795528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lauraeva: DS is the same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-things-we-do-for-sleep#post-1795460 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 15:00:40 +0000 gilmoregirl 1795460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: boob napping right now too. I have to pee so bad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-things-we-do-for-sleep#post-1795455 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 14:38:34 +0000 Foodnerd81 1795455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now we are at dh's grandmothers house, and c Judy could not fall aeep in her pnp. Dh tried settling he, no good. So now she is taking a boob nap but I'm in an armchair w no ottoman or pillow, while Dh is spread out on the couch sleeping. How is this fair?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-things-we-do-for-sleep#post-1795419 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 13:34:17 +0000 illumina 1795419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The number of times I have kept driving even though I am busting for a pee...I have lost count ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-things-we-do-for-sleep#post-1795389 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 12:59:18 +0000 lauraeva 1795389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD will go to sleep in the stroller, so I walk her twice a day for naps, and at bed time. Once she's out I can move her to the bed and nurse her laying down to resettle her. I often log 5+km a day! I long for the days when I wont have to leave the house to get her down! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-things-we-do-for-sleep#post-1795287 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 10:20:19 +0000 Orchid 1795287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: I hate to take comfort in your woes, but it really helps to know you're not alone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-things-we-do-for-sleep#post-1795285 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 10:17:32 +0000 Orchid 1795285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twoofeverything: Lol! I feel the same way! I always hope and expect that the next purchase will solve my sleep issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-things-we-do-for-sleep#post-1795162 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 08:11:08 +0000 catomd00 1795162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Champagne: haha I used to leave the blow dryer on all the time until I discovered a blow dryer iphone app!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-things-we-do-for-sleep#post-1795157 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 08:07:31 +0000 catomd00 1795157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have pretty much almost wet my pants and lost an arm to lack of circulation for sleep lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-things-we-do-for-sleep#post-1794454 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 13:41:11 +0000 LovelyPlum 1794454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: gah! I would have died- or peed while holding her ;) And thanks- we are 3 doses in and already seeing a difference! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-things-we-do-for-sleep#post-1794199 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 12:00:31 +0000 spaniellove 1794199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: I think there was a day recently when I held him for 6 hours straight. My bladder about died! One of the golden rules - never pick up the baby without going to the bathroom first because you don't know when you'll have the chance again! Keeping my fingers crossed that the Zantac kicks in soon and little miss (and mama!) gets some relief. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-things-we-do-for-sleep#post-1794190 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 11:54:15 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1794190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One time my half hour napper was napping longer than half hour after I got out of the shower. I didn't want to ruin it. So I left the shower on. Then I blow dried my hair and he was still sleeping. I didn't want to ruin it. Left the blow dryer on. Lol! He had white noise on too. It was loud! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-things-we-do-for-sleep#post-1794184 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 11:51:57 +0000 Zbug 1794184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: I'm next to my LO as she naps right now! I'm actually thinking abt taking a nap myself. Last night was a bit rough. It's worth it for her to get a good nap in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-things-we-do-for-sleep#post-1794179 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 11:50:34 +0000 regberadaisy 1794179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man, we have literally not moved a muscle until she woke up. She did not do well with transfers and knew the INSTANT she wasn't in your arms. That's why I never go put her down for a nap without a bottle of water and my phone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-things-we-do-for-sleep#post-1794172 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 11:45:58 +0000 Greentea 1794172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: me too! For the first year she would only sleep on me- so being next to her feels like progress (?) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-things-we-do-for-sleep#post-1793468 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 06:06:29 +0000 LovelyPlum 1793468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So after she fell into a deep sleep, I put her down...and she spit herself awake. Finally conked around 11, up at 4, back down at 5, and still asleep. These kids keep us on our toes :)</p> <p>I decided the craziest thing I've ever done happened about 2 months ago. I am a student , and I was trying to get to the library. She was not having it, though. So I sat in the parking lot in the passenger seat, hung the sleep sheep on the steering wheel, and made a nest of blankets on the drivers seat. We got about 2 hours of sleep and work done! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-things-we-do-for-sleep#post-1793366 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 23:27:44 +0000 twoofeverything 1793366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It makes me sick to think how much money I've spent on sleep shit...ahem...accoutrements. Let's see...<br /> - Sleep sacks in every size, both in fleece and cotton...plus the swaddle kind<br /> - Rock 'n Plays, the swing, bouncer, etc.<br /> - Crib wedges<br /> - White noise machine (and a replacement after the first burned out<br /> - 3 Magic Merlin sleep suits at $35 a pop<br /> - Blackout curtains<br /> - A crib mattress topper for my finicky toddler<br /> - Video monitors and cameras<br /> - A portable A/C unit so their room would be tolerable in the summer<br /> - ...oh and the portable space heater for the winter</p> <p>Gulp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-things-we-do-for-sleep#post-1793357 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 23:07:47 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 1793357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just paced back and forth in her small room, holding DD vertically because she refused to let me sit in the glider or hold her laying down. For 25 min. Put her down and started crying again. Pick up and repeat. Took an hour and 45 min to get her back to sleep. Is there a 6 month sleep regression!? Cause her sleep has been CRAP lately. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-things-we-do-for-sleep#post-1793300 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 22:05:19 +0000 Kemma 1793300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: :heart: love me a sleeping baby snuggle </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-things-we-do-for-sleep#post-1793297 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 22:02:03 +0000 fussygal 1793297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: I do the same! I lay down and nurse her for 80% of her naps and stay laying with her since she's on the bed and still not rolling super great. It's a nice excuse for relaxing :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-things-we-do-for-sleep#post-1793284 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 21:49:55 +0000 dolphin 1793284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: haha I was just there too. It took an hour and I put her down and she started crying. HATE when that happens!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-things-we-do-for-sleep#post-1793283 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 21:49:52 +0000 travelgirl1 1793283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lie down with her every nap time so she will go to sleep and stay that way until she wakes up. My sisters think I'm crazy, I don't care. I may be crazy but she sleeps :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-things-we-do-for-sleep#post-1793271 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 21:40:35 +0000 Greentea 1793271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH slept on the couch last night so we could all get some sleep! (He started snoring so loudly it wakes DD and I!) :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-things-we-do-for-sleep#post-1793268 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 21:38:22 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1793268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: I've stayed in the same spot on the couch for HOURS while she napped (when she was really little). I've slept sitting up in bed, I've sat in the car for an hour, I've sat in the garage when she fell asleep in the stroller.<br /> In the name of sleep...nothing's crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-things-we-do-for-sleep#post-1793261 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 21:34:01 +0000 Foodnerd81 1793261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it bad that none if these things seem that crazy? I have almost peed my pants waiting for her to wake up while I was holding her or had her outside in the stroller, or in the car... In her bad bad napping days, I'd literally rather pee my pants than wake her. (Never did, thank god). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-things-we-do-for-sleep#post-1793257 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 21:30:57 +0000 Mae 1793257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As a result of no-eating thursday it was also no-napping thursday so when fia fell asleep on the way home from the doc appt in the car, i drove up and down and up and down the main road near our home so that she would stay asleep...... lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-things-we-do-for-sleep#post-1793207 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 21:03:41 +0000 LovelyPlum 1793207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaChin: smart idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-things-we-do-for-sleep#post-1793206 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 21:03:18 +0000 LovelyPlum 1793206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: thanks! Generally, I am not like this, but after an hour of screaming, I'm not taking any chances! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-things-we-do-for-sleep#post-1793204 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 21:01:51 +0000 MamaChin 1793204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am currently curled up next to her waiting until she's deeply asleep to move her. I now nurse her lying down on a blanket on my bed, once she's out I move her WITH the blanket underneath to the crib. </p>
