I may need to write down sleep times because I’m always confused in the morning. I “think” she slept around 9-1:30 but maybe she went to bed later. After that she was up at 4:30 and 7 so not bad.

and dragonflyinn I have an app called BabyConnect where I track everything. I love it. I used it for my boys too so I can lol back and compare. It’s very helpful as a reminder of when they are, pooped slept etc. they have this chart that’s hard to explain but gives you a user friendly glance comparing your baby’s days of eating, sleeping, and diapering etc.

+1. I use an app called Baby Tracker. I looove the charts.

Another baby tracker user. Not because I’m stressed about it, but I just can’t remember.

I have an app called Baby Nursing that does the same thing! I only track the nursing and his weight/height measurements but it can do all of that stuff too. It’s so nice!

[rebeccabunch]

I enjoy the tracking, the stats, patterns. I get so into it and it keeps me occupied MOTN.

[pippiann]

I was so good with tracking M but with L for some reason I can’t keep up.

[sweetsurprise]

+1 for tracking everything on an app. I use my BFing app to track it. I stopped logging diapers tho. Pretty much 1,000 dirty diapers a day is a good summary.

This is why I love my Fitbit haha in the morning I can see exactly when we were awake!

This is exactly why i got rid of the fitbit with DD. One morning i looked at how much sleep we had(n't) gotten and cried.

Same. I specifically got a Fitbit once DS2 was about a year and his sleep peaked at sucking just to track my sleep. It was so depressing and caused me anxiety that I gave it away.

[teraiin]

I always do fine tracking at first. But just like with DS1, now that why’ve been home about a month I cannot keep my eyes open when they wake up. Feeding them is so hard because I literally don’t feel like I can stay awake and I’m so groggy and disoriented. Fx the doc gives me permission to let them sleep st their four month.

[helloerrbody]

I was a diligent tracker with DS1 and this time I haven’t tracked anything since day 3.

[pippiann]

H is very impatient with feeding L which is annoying but I need to hold my tongue bc I don’t want to burn that bridge. Now I have to bring all my baggage upstairs for the night and pump. FX for a good night. 🌙

I’m up and headed to the hospital because my water broke.

+1. I had to use some creative thinking at the dr so as to not lie:

MD: how many poopy diapers per day?

B&J: prrtty much all of them.

Eek kbw! Good luck!!

[dragonflyinn]

Yaaay kbw!!!

[dragonflyinn]

I’m up. I cleaned out my diffuser yesterday when I realized I could use it as a tiny humidifier next to DS at night & I swear it has helped so much. I’m just running it with water & it’s acting similar to a cool mist humidifier so I think his congestion has been a lot better tonight! Unfortunately DD has been up a bunch from whatever things were “scary” in her room soooo not the best night of sleep for any of us except DS lol.

[ajetter]

We’re up. Baby did sleep much during the evening so I was hoping for a long stretch. She made it just shy of four hours. Not bad but could have been better.

Why am I looking at Old Navy online? Girl number four needs zero clothing but the little bubble rompers are so dang cute. I’m not sure I can resist. And all the small shops I follow are having their spring drops lately. My MOTN shopping habit is... out of control. 😬

[ajetter]

Good luck kbw!!!

[sarahh]

Good luck kbw!

[helloerrbody]

Eek yay kbw!!!

[ajetter]

sarahh I’m an enabler. It’s what I do. Lol. I’m justifying purchasing a couple with the thinking that with DD1 I didn’t have a lot of one piece outfits. Experienced mom is all psh no way am I dealing with shorts and a top or a dress and bloomers. Give me easy! Haha.

Also I need outfits to match the bows that I also didn’t need...

[Deleted]

I’m 6 cm dilated, have just a small bag of water left and his head is off to the side a little so once that slides in to place with contractions they think he’ll be here super quick.

[rebeccabunch]

Good luck kbw! Keep us posted!

[mrsp84]

Good luck, kbw!

I’m up because I just moved from the bed to the couch. My hips cannot handle being laid on anymore. The second I laid back in the recliner, DD got up to see if I was ok. ❤️ So now she’s sleeping on the couch next to me. I’m just enjoying these last snuggles before we head to the hospital later today.

On another note, I was an emotional wreck last night putting DD to bed for the last time as an only child. I’m excited (obviously) for another baby, but scared out of my mind for this new dynamic in our house and how everyone is going to adjust to change. It won’t be 3 of us anymore. And that made me a little sad. Pregnant and crazy here.

[cake]

Good luck kbw!

I use baby tracker as well. Mostly because me husband asks how much he ate at the last feeding all the time and this is the only way I can remember lol.

[marygracerich]

Good luck kbw!
mrsp84 I understand your feelings. I sobbed pretty hard the night before my c section because G wasn’t going to be an only child anymore. She has adjusted. It was rough for awhile but now she loves having a little brother.

[sarahh]

mrsp84 what marygracerich said. It’s different at first but will get better.

I’m still up from the 3:30 feeding. Not because baby is up - well she got up again at 5:30 and just went back down - but because of my insomnia. And my alarm is about to go off so we can finish packing up the car and get on the road. I am making us leave earlier so we can make a detour to a Hanna Anderson outlet. Since we obviously need more clothes in my house.

[marygracerich]

I just finished little mans second wake up. He is now working on poop so I am keeping him up a bit. I’m hoping to get a little more sleep but it’s doubtful.
