Starting a new thread for this week!
DD went almost 7 hours last night between feeds. I suck at sleeping though and didn't get a ton of sleep still š
Also, I think DD is starting to smile on purpose and I love it! It's so nice to get a response instead of just a blank stare all the time š¤

Iām exhausted. P was up and squirming for hours last night. It takes her like 30 mins to poop. So many times we think sheās done then as soon as you Change her she goes again.
It resulted in tears from me at 6 am because I am so tired. The H was just trying to help but when he canāt feed her itās hard.

I always say this but I literally have to remind myself daily that this isn't forever and it gets better. |

I also remember crying many times because I was just so tired with DS. I feel like I've been handling the sleep deprivation a bit better overall so far this time, but right around the two week point I felt like it started catching up to me more. DD is not horrible at night thus far, but I always stay up too late and then the broken sleep I do get is just not good enough!

DD is starting to be awake more. She wants to snack like every hour or less today when she's awake! She is finishing up a good nap right now, which awesomely lined up with DS's nap. It's warmed up and the sun is actually shining here this afternoon, so I'm hoping to get outside a little bit when everyone gets up!

So much sleep deprivation crying. I also am terrible when the baby is doing long sleep stretches at being able to calm down, relax and sleep. I canāt just shut down. H on the other hand is snoring within minutes.

Tomorrow is another day to try for the elusive Double Nap š I am literally going to cry when dd1 stops napping. She's been taking her diaper and clothes off lately during naps and bedtime (we've since been duck tapping her diaper on š) so then she's freezing and her naps have been too short! |

Hopefully the undressing herself thing is just a phase. I believe my sister also had to duct tape diapers on one of her kids! š |

I've always suffered from insomnia, but it's getting pretty bad right now. The past week or so I've been awake at least three hours or more when DD is sleeping. Last night I was awake from 11-5 and DD was sleeping great. I'm so exhausted and hate that I can't sleep. Thankfully I have my 6 week pp appointment tomorrow so hopefully my ob will have some ideas as to what I can do to get some sleep.

brenna hope your OB has some ideas for you. Sleep is important! It's so frustrating laying awake at night when you're exhausted and know it's unlikely you'll have time to rest the next day ā¹ļø

Enjoying a double nap! Itās been an hour so far, Iāve been able to tidy the house, do some work for my business, and lay on the couch eating pizza bagel bites. Winning!

I'm 1/4 on my tries today to get DD to nap in her bassinet. So much for getting anything done on the day dd1 is at daycare... I've been holding DD pretty much all day.

Thanks ladies for thinking of me today. All went well this morning and DD2 is healthy and Iām doing well so far. My ob did a few things differently this time in hopes of avoiding my previous complications and so far so good. Will post a birth story possibly tomorrow. Right now trying to get some rest.

My doula is going to be going out of town tomorrow through Monday. Makes me nervous but she has a backup for me. So baby needs to come today or after Monday. Lol! Part of me wants him to come beginning of next week too because the kid's dad will be like 4 hours away for a few days and then I won't have to stress about him and can be back at my own home!
We also had 4 births at the birth center on Monday (first day of real rain in a bit) and they only have 3 rooms. Makes me a little nervous with this hurricane coming. Hoping we all don't go into labor at the same time.
I have all my stuff at my moms house in preparation to bring baby back there which will most likely happen. I've been so uncomfortable sleeping here but I really don't want to be around an unpredictable alcoholic. Can the baby just stay in my womb forever, please?!
