A few firsts today! I tried wearing K again today and success! She fell asleep in it! I tried before but she was too small and I didn't tigten the straps enough. But the I woke her up when I took her out haha.
Second thing is she took a paci for like 5 min today. She was fussing mid nap and I saw her sucking on nothing (she was going for her hand) so I stuck a soothie in and after a few tries she took it! But then she fully woke up hungry and wanted the boob.

@snowjewelz: she is just so cute! Micah took a paci one night but hasn't been interested in it since then.
I've just been living in yoga pants and tshirts. Going to have to buy some new black pants when I go back to work though.
I haven't left the house other than doctors appointments and I'm getting tired of being cooped up in the house but don't want to get Micah out and risk him getting sick!

@whenoceansrise: same here! DH is preaching on Sunday and I wanted to bring her out but dr said it's better to wait till 2 months. And my mom doesn't want her going anywhere either.
Have you had a chance to go out by yourself at least?

@snowjewelz: @FaithFertility: I haven't gotten out by myself either. I have been meaning to but haven't felt like getting dressed or putting on makeup. I need to invest in some good concealer with these bags under my eyes!

@whenoceansrise: Garnier BB Cream is my new best friend!!!!!!!!

@whenoceansrise: don't worry about that! I've done a few quick target runs. I need to going again soon to return some stuff!

@FaithFertility: at least you have good weather! I might have DH bring us to my SIL. Kara's cousin is only 2 weeks older so at least we can hang out and she already has all the baby stuff should I need anything!

@whenoceansrise: you should see how I look when I drop my son at preschool. Getting out the door by 845.... I'm a hot mess!

Ryan has been up 4 hours. 4. Been trying to get him to nap and feed my toddle and get toddler in bed without husband. Shit show. I would say this means a good stretch tonight but I know better.

@snowjewelz: I'm sorry, I forget it's freezing in so many places!

@winniebee: ugh - DH is traveling (I could NOT be more jealous that he has a guaranteed 3 nights of uninterrupted sleep) and I'm with you on the overtired baby and crazy toddler front. Hang in there mama! I really hope you get some sleep!
hostess / wonderful grape / 20803 posts
@MrsF: Bahahhaha cute! I can't wait for some smiles! I want to check myself into a hotel for 3 nights to sleep too.
Of course he conks out with dad right at the 4 hr mark at 830. Assuming he will be up to eat before 10 but I really want to jump to bed anyhow! (It's 9!)
My husband is encouraging me to hire a night nanny for a night or two a week. It would be so $$$$ though and I'm not sure I could relax enough to do it. Plus hopefully sleep will be better soon??

@MrsF: look at that cutie!! Love the smiles
@winniebee: That'd be great if you could get some help! I hope R gives you longer stretches tonight....

@whenoceansrise: oh girl,, I've looked like a hot mess every time I've left the house. Haven't worn makeup in who knows how long. Ha.

Ugh, Logan has been fussy for the past 1.5 hours. I just asked Hubs to take over and he said "Just rake two minutes and put him to sleep." Like I haven't been trying the past hour to get him to sleep. And like it EVER only takes two minutes!

@winniebee: my good friend got a night nanny when she had twins and said it was amazing. She still nursed but the nanny would bring the babies to her in bed and take them immediately after to do diaper change, get them back to sleep, etc. Might be just what you need?
DH left today for a weeklong work trip. If the 4-bedtime portion of everyday is like today was, I may not survive!! Times like this I really wish we lived closer to family.
To end on a happy note, E slept in her crib last night and did 6-3-3. Fingers crossed for similar tonight!

@KayKay: Haha, he tried for twenty minutes and then quit! I just tried nursing again and this time it worked!

Emily cluster fed for the last 4 hours....my body needs a break!! I am thankful she finally fell asleep!!
wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts
@MrsF: sooo cute and glad you caught it!
Omg K has been freaking out the last 2 feedings screaming her head off. I'm gonna give her s bottle.
Annnd our Heat is off for for some reason.. Really hope DH can fix it
It's gonna be a lonnng night

We survived! DH picked up the girls tonight and he had a rough time of it because I hadn't appropriately adjusted the straps on the infant seat in his car and C wanted Subway for dinner. But they made it home (all upset!). K got her bottle as quickly as I could get it warm. C ate dinner and played. Now C is asleep for the night and K has been snoozing since she got her bottle (3 hours ago). I'm a little afraid to see what K's sleep will be like tonight.
But tomorrow will be a new day, and we will manage it. Afterall, we survived day 1. C & K's bags have both been prepped for tomorrow and shortly I will get all of my things together.

@snowjewelz: Ethan has been doing that a lot lately in the evenings. I've gone between gripe water, burping, and just going straight to a nap assuming he's overtired.
Hope your heat gets fixed quickly! We had ours quit on a super cold night when E was a few weeks old and had to wait till morning to fix it. I think it got down to the high 50's inside.
@MamaG: glad you made it through! I start back with a half day Thursday, I think I'm more worried about being an emotional mess!

What's with so many LOs not sleeping tonight? I feel like my arms about to fall off. I have her 2.5 oz and she still wouldn't sleep!
wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts
@josina: ugh what is going with them?! I've rocked her for 2 hours to no avail. I wonder if this is her 6 wk growth spurt
wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts
@MamaG: all that matters is you survived and tomorrow is a new day!
wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts
@MamaG: Yay for surviving day 1! Hopefully each day gets easier and easier.
@cheert16: Hopefully after all the cluster feeding, you are getting a good long stretch of sleep.
@snowjewelz: Definitely could be a growth spurt! I think we had ours already, but there were a couple days that Logan was extra fussy in the evening and would nurse for hours! My nipples were so sore! But I think we're past it! The last two days he hasn't nursed nearly as much and doesn't stay awake as long in the evening.
wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts
@Adira: I sure hope it is growth spurt and won't last too long... It was brutal!
And we fixed the heater thankfully!
nectarine / 2631 posts
@MamaG: good job making it through day 1!!
@Adira: she was up every 3 hours- not terrible! Of course as soon as she fell asleep I was wide awake!! (Maybe I should stop playing in my phone in bed!)
