This baby never stops moving. It’s so hard to get him to nap because he’s always kicking his legs or flailing his arms around. This is my child. He loves to wiggle and move. Sometimes holding him is a chore now. Also, hope you aren’t too sore!!

So I spent a few lovely hours at urgent care this evening (surrounded by who knows how many people with the flu) and sure enough it’s shingles. Ugh. What a cluster! I have antiviral meds and can take ibuprofen for pain. Since the rash is contagious I can’t nurse on one side until it clears up. The dr said it’s going to get worse before it gets better. Please cross all of your limbs that DD doesn’t end up with chicken pox from this. DS had the vaccine so I think he’ll be ok (and he hasn’t been near the rash). And because why not, DH is going out of town for a week on Sunday. 😭😭😭 Oh no! I hope the baby doesn't get it and that you feel ok

On Sunday, I slipped in the tub as I was stepping into it and ate shit. I have the biggest bruise on my shin, just below my knee and it’s killing me. I’m just so glad I caught myself before I really went down, I was envisioning myself knocked out naked in the shower while the baby just watches from the RnP. I told MH that maybe I need one of those life alert buttons. 😝 Oh man I'm sorry..hope it doesn't hurt too mucb

So, R finally has rolled onto her belly to nap. This is almost a 2.5 hour nap. Not sure when I should wake her.

We flew to Florida today. He’s barely napped at all today. Like he went four hours between naps and the first one was 30min and th second was an hour. I’m so worried for tonight. Ugh. Florida is warm and humid. I’m so excited to be out of the snow and winter of Chicago. @easilyunamused omg I’m sorry you hurt yourself but your life Larry comment made me lol. bsouls N napped once on his belly and it was a glorious 2.5hr nap also. Hope you enjoyed it and she repeats!!

Do your babies sleep with a lovey? If so, what is it? I feel like J might do better with one but I don't know what to use

He's been doing so well. Hi twin except M woke up like 20 mins after falling asleep screaming like crazy. She did soothe herself back down but I’m also wondering if we are in for a rough night too. Blah I hope J sleeps for you.

I’m trying to switch it to something else because it’s like a bunny head with ears that crinkle with the small soft blanket attached but it worries me because she seriously likes to fall asleep with it over her face or near it and I have to go in and move it. Of course she loves it and wants nothing else lol. I would say just go for a small soft stuffed animal with ears like a bunny or elephant or something.

It’s actually a spare I bought, because T loved hers so much and I was worried that I might not find it if hers broke. R seems to like it a lot -as much as T. Last night she was fussing, I was ignoring her - but H turned it on and she stopped fussing immediately. At first, I wasn’t comfortable with it for T and would go in and move it. But, it’s pretty hard and I figured it probably was fairly safe. T will still go through long periods of times with it in her bed, but she always preferred hard things. www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-Ocean-Wonders-Soothe-Seahorse/dp/B000W3XEQM

A already is awake after sleeping for an hour. And will not go back down in his bassinet. I’m so over being a human pacifier for this kid! I even left my room to see if he’d soothe himself back to sleep, but he just wailed for 10 mins straight and got himself all sideways in this tiny space. 😡
I’m not gonna lie, these sleep issues really make me hate being a parent.

jt2378, my MIL lives down here during the winter so we came to visit her and sFIL. also her parents - Ns great grandparents fly down on Saturday so we get to see them again too, which will be very nice. I'm so excited to be away from work but I'm so worried the new sleeping space and traveling today will mean sucky sleep. we will see. definitely will post pool pics!! I'm so excited to get him in the water 😊 yellowcat, im im so sorry about the flu with everyone. I'm glad you guys are on the mend bsouls, I love that little seahorse. sometimes some of the babies at work have them if they're there a long time and they love it. king26, sorry for the already rough night. FX it gets better. We haven't used a lovey yet but we have two-three to choose from. ours are like little heads of animals with a tiny blanket instead of a body. Like this :

Omg is it a full moon? M is having a horrible sleep night too @easilyunamused. She woke up screaming so I ended up feeding her and put her back down and she still screamed another 10 mins. I foresee a long night and of course I feel like I’m getting sick ugh. She is still restless in there now again! addymac, that is similar to the lovey we had so maybe those little blankets aren’t as bad as I thought lol.

Baby h slept like crap too! I think I got up 4 or 5 times. And for some reason, dh slept in the nursery even though i think it wakes the baby up. I had finally fallen asleep and then I thought I heard the baby over the monitor, so I got up and it was just dh snoring loudly in the nursery 😑

thinkchocolate05 I'm sorry you guys had a rough night sleep too. J ended up waking up for the day at 6 after a crappy night. I think he woke up 5 times. 3 times I soothed him back and twice I fed him. I'm beat. It's 740 and he's in his first nap already because he is cranky . My guess is he is going to have a lot of short naps today. It's an ice storm out there so no school todat. It's our 5th snow day and last one we don't have to make up which sucks because thete is so much winter left.

I posted new questions in the private board but this time they are for us! Sometimes I get everyone all jumbled so I thought a question thread about us would be nice.

R cried out at 3am. She needed her paci and seahorse turned on after rolling onto her belly. She woke up at 6 and I gave her the paci at 6:20am and she slept until 7:40am.
R is consistently down to three naps a day. She’ll just go to bed earlier, if all her naps are short.

Sorry for the sleep troubles! What’s up with most of these sleepless A17 babies?
Last night was just awful. Waking up screaming every hour or so and taking an hour + to get back to sleep every time. I’m so exhausted. And he’s been up for the day since 6:30am.

Wtf! Add me to the crazy night too. Right after I posted she woke screaming and wouldn’t go to sleep. I ended up giving Tylenol at 12:00 because I didn’t know if it was teeth or what. She was coughing too. She finally went back down but was up a couple times again. LT for commiseration ladies. Of course I feel like a man cold coming on and just wanted to get a good night sleep, lol to me.

In what may be a miracle- both of my kids slept most of the night! I was up with them each one time.
Omg though, the shingles rash and pain is on my one boob and pumping it is so so awful. 😭
