I only have two days of work this week. DS is still going to daycare on Wednesday so DD and I are having a girls day. DS seems to have caught some daycare cooties already. He's got a slight cough and some congestion. dd1 brought home daycare germs to the whole family including dd2. It's so sad to see our little ones sick, especially since there's not much we can do π

Dd2 slept sooooo much better last night, but my throat was so sore I barely got any sleep. I'm hoping it's not strep throat. If it's not feeling a lot better tomorrow I will probably go get checked out.

ftwr a girl's day sounds fun! I bet your DD will love the special one-on-one time! brenna so glad you had a better night. How many bad nights did you have? Cause I feel like ours started a day or two after that first night that you spent two hours trying to get your DD down - hopefully that means a better night is coming for me too! Lol

We switched Ps formula to the gentle kind. Sheβs like a different baby. We used to call her Grump P because she was always so grunty and grumpy. She slept for 4 hours and went right back down with some rocking at 1. I hope this is the change that we need.

We've also had 2 horrible nights and then last night she was hard to get down but she did eventually sleep for a little over 3 hours. According to WW the really awful nights would have started smack dab in the middle of leap 2. She's been a little more pleasant again during the day, so hopefully the nights will follow. I don't really remember having such strong "reactions" from DS for any leaps.

uh oh, another bad night? Yeah π After two hours of trying to get her to sleep and her crying every time we laid her down, I gave up and co-slept again. She passed out right away and slept fine for a few hours. I however slept very lightly and not particularly comfortably.

tbirdlove sorry you had another hard night. Hopefully this phase passes soon. I M I would pick her up today from school after lunch so just a few hours to breathe today. But my H is coming home early so I can go to the dentist. Last week they told me one of my molars is starting to crack, so today we are prepping for a crown. After that I plan on meeting my bff for a much needed pedicure.

It can be nerve-wracking to start but can be really helpful for getting even a few hours at a time. Hope things get better soon.

tbirdlove, sorry for the rough nights. Bed-sharing is the only way I got any sleep with DS1. With DS2 he starts off in his bassinet and then I bring him into bed. After doing it a few times it can become more comfortable. Do whatever gets you the most sleep for now, you can always change it later.
