Friday's here!

[jessijean]

At least I think it's Friday....?

Hope everyone got more sleep than we did.

[sarahh]

Baby is waking up earlier and earlier this week. This morning it was 5:45. I don't know what her deal is. I'm kind of wondering if I need to up her formula oz. She is taking five 6 oz bottles each day and is 7.5 months. marygracerich how much are you guys doing now?

We leave for our trip tomorrow morning and my to do list keeps getting longer and longer. Hopefully I will be able to sleep tonight and not be up packing. And Fx my kids cooperate on the plane and hopefully take a nap.

He is taking 3 6oz bottles and 2 5oz bottles. He is taking slightly more solids though. He will eat a full gerber second foods container at dinner and lunch. I also add in some BLW stuff but I don’t know how much of that he is actually taking in. It’s probably not much.

I am no help because he wakes up sometime between 5:45 and 6:30. Usually it’s around 6:15. He usually doesn’t take a bottle until at least 6:30 so I am not going to increase how much he takes yet.
I’m sorry I can’t be more help.

marygracerich, it sounds like both of our babies have about the same schedule and are taking in about the same amount of food so that makes me feel better.

DD1 didn't like any food at this age so I feel like she was taking bigger bottles than DD2 is. But DD2 is eating more actual food so I guess that's why. She used to sleep until almost 7 and each day this week has been a little earlier. Maybe she's preparing herself for a 2 hour time change tomorrow? Haha

Just went to check in for our flight and our original flight I guess was cancelled so instead of leaving at 10:15 with a 1.5 hour layover we are leaving at 7:45 with a 4 hour layover. Ugh. Calling now to hopefully get a earlier flight out of our connection city. Do not want to be in an airport that long with kids.

I'm so glad it's Friday. DD was up at 2:15 to throw me a birthday party. It's such a good thing she's so damn cute.

No!!! That would not be fun with the kiddos.

Add us to the crap sleep club. I think V's second tooth is popping through. We had a shitty night and then the toddler woke up at 6 but luckily he fell back asleep in bed with me until about 8. So I think we'll all be OK! 
But the past couple of weeks have been pretty crappy too, not just last night. I want my baby back that doesn't wake until 4am or 6am!

So they changed our 2nd flight so we are back to a 1.5 hour layover.  7:45am flight is going to suck though.  That means I have to wake the 3 year old and she will be awful.  I guess I'll have to bribe her with a donut or something in the airport.  At least we know baby will be up based on her wake times this week!

We had slightly better sleep last night but not much. The inlaws are in town so I didn't want her to keep them up all night too (guest room is right across the hall from the nursery) so at 3:30 I gave up and brought her to bed with us. We sleep better but not great after that.

On one hand I love my MIL but but on the other hand I often want to kill her.

In today's saga... They got into town last night to spend some time with us and Faith and they said that they would watch her while I worked so we could keep her out of daycare. They both love her to pieces, but FIL is a little clueless and needs a lot of direction (which means I'm distracted from work) and so far MIL has slept until 10:00, awake for about 2.5 hours then took a nap and is still asleep almost 3 hours later. Why bother coming to our house if the only thing you are going to do is sleep?!?

She has said before that "Your house is just too comfortable, it makes me want to sleep!" I try to take that as a compliment, because I love a good nap as much as anyone (and just woke up from one myself) but OMG you wanted to watch Faith and spend time with her so freakin' stay awake!

Oh no!! Hope they work something better out for y’all!

I'm at an 8 right now with her.  Trying to calm down and get over it because I'm not going to change it.

I've mentioned before that she has some serious self esteem issues and is emotionally needy (constantly asking for approval and "permission").  I also suspect some depression following her bout with breast cancer, possibly some general anxiety (she is scared of everything and worried about everything).  So it is a perfect storm of issues that she refuses to deal with.  And that makes me as angry as her coming to our house and sleeping all day.

Climbed into bed at 9:55. By 10:25 DD3 and 4 we’re both awake and crying. What the hell children?!?!

Hugs, Fx that’s your only wake up this evening!

[jessijean]

After a shitty night last night the boys napped for over 3 hours. DS2 napped 3.5 all by myself. I'm a bit jealous because I was hoping for a cuddle nap.

I think I have my classes ready to go for next week. Hopefully...

Nooooo! I’m sorry. Hope the rest of the night got better.

DD3 went back to sleep rather easily. I think she had a dream and then she just needed to pee. DD4 kept seeming like she fell asleep and then she would start crying again. Gave her more Tylenol since her bottom gums are looking swollen, fed her, and she was out by about midnight. But is up again at 4:30. 😔

We are going through ibuprofen over here like crazy. I feel bad giving it so much but 20-30 min after a dose, she is good to go so I feel like it is warranted.

Yeah I remember DD3 being like clock work while she was teething. About 20 min before she’d be ready for another dose she’d turn into a bear, and then 20 min after that she was fine. We got to where we were alternating Tylenol and ibuprofen so we didn’t have to listen to her scream.

My H tells me I over use Tylenol but 🤷‍♀️

[ajetter]

sunfrogger as long as you’re not using more than directed I say Tylenol away and keep everyone happy.
