I did not have a great night. I didn’t sleep much and I was Already exhausted from being alone with the two kids by myself all day. So now I’m just extra tired.

Yay sweetsurprise!!! Doesn’t it feel fantastic? I also really appreciate tha the night just goes by faster. We weren’t unicorn status by any means, but I finally got her settled for real at like 1:45, and then we had two three hour chunks of sleep. And since DH didn’t have to work today I got to enjoy them both. |

I'm just trying to keep her hydrated and comfortable. If Monday comes and she still has a fever it'll be day 3 so we'll go to the ped. |

It’s SO SO bad this year. At least down here. |

Should I still treat as usual though and call the ped Monday if she's still feverish or take her to the children's urgent care tomorrow? We've had the fever since noon on Friday. |

I personally would do urgent care as soon as possible so there’s a chance for Tamiflu to work if she does have the flu. |

I 2nd this... with how bad the flu is this year and how rampant it is, I’d get her in pronto... this is coming from someone who NEVER goes to the ped or dr for myself unless we are all dying |

I’m feeding little man. I really, really, really hope he goes to sleep after this. I’m soooo tired. I have had about 4 hours of broken sleep since yesterday morning.

Afm I'm just heading to bed. Hopefully dd1 sleeps well. I just knocked out most of the rest of next week's homework before coming to bed. I need to stop rushing through the quizzes though. And my teacher hasn't graded anything yet! So weird.

I’m watching the clock in frustration as J drinks his bottle at a snails pace. Im on such a strict feeding schedule that the longer he takes to drink the bottle the less time I gave to attempt sleep in between feedings 😭

And the answer is...of course he isn’t sleeping. He is swaddled, fed and has a clean diaper. He falls asleep in my arms but wakes up and starts to cry if I put him in the bassinet.
I may cry too. I just want to sleep. If he doesn’t fall asleep soon, I might as well stay awake until he is hungry again. 😞

marygracerich can you put him somewhere where he’ll chill so you sleep until he’s hungry again? Swing or whatever, you can put him in bassinet after the next fed.

I hope you get a couple good stretches of sleep tonight. |

I’m so sorry marygracerich, I hope you’re able to get some sleep tonight! I’m experiencing the first cluster feeding. Little guy has been going at it since 10:30. My husband is snoring away beside me. |

I got about an hour and a half of sleep. I will take it. I am up feeding him. Hopefully he knocks back out afterwards.

I’m sorry you’re so exhausted marygracerich. Do you have a white noise machine? We had the cloud b sleep sheep and that was a life saver for us. In fact he still uses it 5 years later and turns it in in the middle of the night when he can’t sleep. |

I know I'm not up with NB yet but can I still play?
DD1 slept far better tonight. She woke up around 345 for Gatorade and wanted me to check her temperature. I took it - almost 8 hours past Motrin and we're only at 101. I'll take it, it's the lowest it's been on its own. She didn't want any more Motrin either (it was time for a redose) and shortly fell back asleep. MH says she's been up every hour or so just uncomfortable. She's in bed with us to try to make her to most comfortable we can.
I'm feeling encouraged it's not flu. I'm terrified however that I'm going to get sick next bc my immune system has been in the crapper this pregnancy... Dnw to be crazy sick at 35.5w.

I found a pumping tracker and I'm so excited to chart my output and freezer stash. I'm a nerd like that.

I haven’t charted mine, but I sure do like seeing the freezer fill up. 😁 also now that the boys are home I see everyday that I can continue to freeze some and not have to dip into my stash as a victory haha |

My alarm to wake DS didn’t go off so my boobs woke me after 5 hours 😳😳 im not complaining about the sleep but i practically Ran into my moms room where S is sleeping between feedings right now. Our plan had been for me to set an alarm & she would bring him to me if he woke before the alarm. Whoops!!
