Ah it was terrible. Cried for over two hours before we called it quits. I know you’re not supposed to quit but I think Ben couldn’t handle my sobbing on the couch. I couldn’t handle it. 👎🏼 |

Omg I'm going to have to do something.j is now waking 3 times a night. It's 1045 and he's up already. He woke up again at 145 and I let him fuss. He didn't cry but he fussed for like 30 minutes then fell asleep. He's up again at 330. DH is sound asleep and snoring which is waking both me and j up.

Hugs addymac. I hope you guys find a solution that works for you. Sleep issues similar to N's are why we started DS1 cosleeping around 1 year old (once he was big enough that I wasn't worried about suffocation) which is something I always said I wouldn't do. It sounds like you guys are working really well as a team on this. You will come up with something!! |

I won worst mom of the year award last night and it was only Jan 1st. I still can't believe I did this bc I'm so careful about things like this, but I mixed my pinkeye eyedrops with baby h's and gave him the wrong one. I didn't realize till an hour later when he was already in bed and I saw the bottle I had picked up from the nursery was wrong. I flipped out.
Dh was very dismissive about it, but I was worried the steroid in mine would hurt him. The pharmacist I called didn't know, so I tried poison control and she said it wasn't a problem. Huge relief, and I was impressed with how knowledgeable poison control seemed. I'm still annoyed with myself though, but I put huge labels on the bottles so it can't happen again.

I’m feeling random and chatty. all our sleep training progress is being completely jacked up by this terrible cold DD has. Second day in a row I’m just in the rocking chair with a sleeping but still total crab ass baby playing on my phone. I decided a new resolution is to stop googling baby stuff it’s not helpful it’s just stressing me out. This is a great resolution, I do the same shit and it’s way more stressful than helpful gggrr |

thinkchocolate05 oh I’m sorry. I’m so glad that it was a non harmful mistake to make! Thank goodness for poison control knowledge!! You’re not the worst mom, I promise. DH is back to feeling super shitty so N and I camped out in his room again last night. Sleep did not go well but I never once picked him up and laid him on my chest to sleep, only snuggled next to me, so I guess that’s good? Working on him laying flat... but he kept waking up to eat. I kept trying to push him to at least 3 hours but failed. Sigh. I’m so, so worried about tonight. DH is still sick and so tired and it’s my first night back at work. My MIL is coming in for a week so I asked DH if she’d help him MOTN since he’s so sick and he was like “probably not”..... uhm, what? I don’t want to have her have to help but I figured if DH is so sick and sleepy maybe she’s help a little?? Idk. I’m so worried. Like if DH wasn’t sick I wouldn’t worry but he is so out of it- in 11 years I’ve never seen him look / be this sick. Ugh.

Luckily tonight and tomorrow are at 11pm and then it’s 12hours all weekend. So hopefully it won’t be awful for DH and he only has to wake up 2x maybe 3. 😕 and maybe he’ll feel better by the weekend. |

addymac If it gives you any hope, my first, who is my really crappy sleeper, would usually sleep slightly better if I wasn't in the house. He would then go back to crappy sleep as soon as I returned. They definitely know when Mama's in the house. I hope it goes well. That's weird about your mil not helping motn. Hopefully she will step up if needed.

J woke up 4 times last night and I felt awful because I didn't hear him the last time since I was up most of the noght. DH who usually doesn't hear him had him snuggling In bed when I rolled over. So all this to say, I'm sure your h will do ok with it when he has to as my husband did since I was out of it. |

I don't know what to do. I'm ready to cry. I've been up from 1230 until now, 4 with j. Everytime I get him to sleep and in the pnp he wakes up in 20 minutes . I've had less than 2 hours of sleep and I get up for work by 630. I need him to sleep. This regression is killing me. Tomorrow I either need to put him in his own room or try the Merlin suit or something. I can't keep doing this and it's just getting worse every nigjt

First night back at work. Around 12:40 DH texted me that N slept from 7ish til 12, but he had been screaming nonstop for the last 40 minutes. It makes me so sad to hear that 😔 DH said he has just handed him off to his mom to see if she could calm him and he was going to get a little bit of sleep. He said he’d text me at the next wake up. I haven’t from him yet but that may not mean much if my MIL is the one with N. I’m trying hard not to think about it but when I do it makes me so sad. And I pumped and didn’t get much so I’m worried pumping at work is going to go poorly.
And today my last day w N was a disaster. Ugh. THis last week was just so sucky with DH having the flu and me being solo parenting for so long and then the CIO fiasco. I got to nap for an hour today before coming into work 😒 just a cruddy cruddy day.

addymac It can take awhile to get into a pumping routine at work. When I first started back, I noticed id get less if I was upset or hurried, so that may be what happened to you. It also helped pumping production to look at pictures of the baby.

Ugh. DH texted me at 5- N was up from 12-2:30 screaming and then woke up again at 4 and had been screaming for the last hour. It was MILs turn so DH could get some sleep before work at 7. I’m so sad, thinking of my baby so upset. Ugh thinkchocolate05 I had heard the looking at pics thing, so I made myself go through all his pics and some videos of him. 😔 |

So I said we had a horrible night, I'm exhausted, thankfully I had a delay this morning....and j rolled over for the first time this morning and I saw it!!!!! Had I not had a delay I would have missed it. Kind of made the crappy night worth while.
