It's only been 6 days since DD2 has been born so not yet, but there will come a time I know!
-
More nights than not, lol.
-
No, DH was pretty good and let me sleep a lot the first month!
-
yes... especially once I weaned and I was still the one getting up in the middle of the night. I made him get up last night, and he keeps telling me how tired he is. Um... don't want to hear it unless you've been doing that EVERY night for a year, buddy! LOL
-
DS is a year old and sometimes I still do!
DH can sleep anywhere, so he'll go to bed and instantly fall asleep. I wake at every little peep in our house, every little noise DS makes I'm up.
-
Yes. I want him to sleep as much as possible, because he really has been a rock for me during these past 16 weeks. But sometimes I envy his ability to nap on the weekends (I can't nap if I know LO is awake and being watched by DH or my MIL), and the fact that while his sleep is certainly disrupted, he doesn't have to *do* anything in the middle of the night.
-
Sometimes, I guess it is inevitable! Like when he insists she sleep in her bassinet and she keeps ME awake while he sleeps soundly.
-
oh yes, all the time. I've always had a hard time sleeping and I'm so jealous that DH is sound asleep literally seconds after putting his head on the pillow.
-
Alllllll the time. Even though I know there is nothing he can do since I have the boobs
-
Oh yes, it started in the hospital. When he snores I feel like he's rubbing it in.
-
Yep, feel the same way as @boiledpnut.
-
Yes! My husband has major sleep problems and is totally useless if he doesn't sleep well, so he has been sleeping in the basement so the baby doesn't disturb him. He was doing this even though he had a month off of work on paternity leave. I was for the arrangement, because I didn't want a cranky husband, but I wanted to kill him when he would complain about being tired or ask me to do more around the house! It's not as bad now since he has to go to work, but sometimes the nights are lonely!!!
-
When she was a newborn? YES.
Now? He's pretty good about going to get her for me when I'm too tired to get up and get her. He just brings her into the bedroom and I feed her in bed. -
DH is great at getting up with DS. DH is an extremely light sleeper, I am not. We do both end up a little sleep deprived though. It would be nice for one of us to get sleep though. It is getting better though.
-
Lol. I distinctly remember when DD was 5 weeks old my husband wanted to go up bed early (I had been the one getting up every night). I was so mad by the time I got to bed (3 hours after he did) that I just glared and him, while he was peacefully snoring!
-
Yes always
-
Yes...at the beginning he was the one getting up at nite because i had a c-section. But now that I've become SAHM he rarely gets up. Sometimes while I'm breastfeeding in the middle of the nite, I talk to him about random subjects. He hates my random conversations but it reminds him what's it like to have to be awake at crazy hours of the nite.
-
Oh yeah. DH gets up very early for work and I did all the night feedings. He thought that he was allowed to sleep in every weekend. I about punched him in the face every night for months. lol. I was definitely thinking murderous thoughts.
-
Only when he snores. And I'm really just resentful of his ability to fall asleep so easily. As soon as the baby goes down he passes out... It takes me at least 30 minutes to get back to sleep. He really does help as much as he's able to though so I can't give him a hard time.
-
@zippylef: Same. I'm going to lay the smack down this weekend though
-
LO never woke up that many times, so it wasn't a huge deal he wasn't awake. Plus DH is impatient, it was much easier dealing with LO by myself.
-
Yes. Last week I punched him in his sleep
DH has never gotten up since I ebf and we co-sleep. However DS is teething so a few nights recently he has woken up just screaming and doesn't want to nurse. I had the flu and couldn't believe that DH still wasn't getting up to help me. He got up after I gave him a wallop.
-
@travelingbrit: I finally did when she was 7 months old. Our marriage dramatically improved. lol
-
Haha. No. I like when DH gets good rest because I need him to be well rested during the day (when he's home) so he can play with DD.
-
its probably the other way around! haha i'm a heavy sleeper so hear DS cries usually when he's already up. but he's also being a great hubby with the night wakings since i'm preggers and need to rest up for baby #2
-
@sarbear: Whoa, you're pregnant again?! Congrats, girl! When did that happen?
-
Sometimes, but he's gotten pretty good at waking up just as quick as I do when LO cries or whines. This morning around 3am, he got up with her even though he had to go to work. Made me very proud!
-
@boiledpnut: @purrpletulips: @HLK208: @MamaMoose: DH snores as well. Snoring makes me think murderous thoughts sometimes -with or without a baby.
@zippylef: LOL to almost punching him in the face!
@junebugmama: huge LOL to an actual punch!
Haha, glad I started this thread. Soooo funny!
-
@zippylef: yuppers! and thanks. i'm 8 weeks, due in August. i feel like i just did this! haha oh wait, i did!! i think i'm the first of the 'spring mamas 2012' from WB to be preggers already! craziness!!!
-
@sarbear: There are 4 women in my due date club (we were all due in March) who are all pregnant again, so you're in good company. lol
-
@sarbear: I didn't know either, congrats!!!
-
@Andrea: thank you
@zippylef: haha good to know
-
Yes! I secretly thought he was such a jerk for not waking up when she cried. Here's something interesting, though. We night weaned at 13 months, and then night time became my husband's job. Now I often find that I don't wake up when she cries. It REALLY is true that you don't hear it as much when it isn't your job!
