Hellobee Boards

I'm worried about messing with R's sleep for the next two nights. We will probably just bug out of the festivities early tomorrow night. If she was older I'd say she could just go with the flow but I don't want to mess up her sleep now.

Count me in! I'm dreading the next two nights. We have a party tomorrow night that starts at 7 ( she usually goes to bed at 730) followed by dinner at my parents around 830. I plan to have her take a late nap around 5??!! Then Christmas night we drive and hour and half to my cousins house for late dinner and we usually drive home around 11pm, so we'll put her down, wake her up, put her in the car, wake her up again and put her to bed. Should be awesome. I'm trying to be in the moment since it's her first Christmas but I'm dreading a tired baby!!

This makes me so glad that we are just at home and don't have to mess with his schedule at all.

Good luck ladies. They may be tired, but they will survive.

@Foodnerd81: I'm sorry This was me at Thanksgiving...it sucked!!

You just made me realize a silver lining to LO's poor sleep... I don't worry about this much because there's nothing to screw up!

In seriousness, I hope you and LO get rest and your trip goes smoothly

@MamaMoose: ugh that sounds totally sh*tty (can I swear on HB??)

@Foodnerd81: If I were you.. I'd totally go home! That sounds awful.

We are the jerks who don't really mess with LO's schedule. Tonight my Mom yelled at me for not sitting down to eat dinner with everyone else at 5 when Lo normally eats his dinner at 545 and would not have hungry that early. Sorry, I'm not sorry. Friends want to see us/LO, it has to be around his nap. I will only have empathy for any future friends with kids and accommodate them once ours is older!

I am sucking it up. We had a 6 hour flight across 6 time zones. The first 5 days were all mixed up, but we're on a reasonable amount of sleep now. Luckily we aren't the only ones with kids ( makes it easier when someone else set the precedent) but I a, not looking forward to the trip back home for another 5 days of adjustments.

@scg00387: I was just about to say, am I the only jerk who makes everyone bend to our schedule??

Everyone is adapting so we aren't really messing with LO's schedule. We are incredibly lucky.

I'm so worried about the next 5 days or so. We're at my mom's tonight, DH's aunt's tomorrow night, then driving 5+ hours to my dad's until Monday. Kiddo naps well...but only in her swing right now. So I'm pretty sure naps will be hell for the next week...and bedtime, too. Yikes.

Surpringly things are going really well in the schedule department. I like being in a 2 hour earlier time zone. LO is awake for dinner time gatherings and the grandparents are up and willing to babysit when LO wakes (6am here, 4 am at home).
