Oh my. I can’t imagine a life with no naps 😭 His pediatrician is referring us to a sleep specialist. I’m so glad but also sad bc I know it will take time to fix so it’s going to be weeks of more shit sleep. I’m debating canceling my trip to Florida to just stay home and chill. - Ben and Noah are going to my MILs on a Wednesday - Wednesday. I booked a flight to join them for a long weekend since I work part of it. I looked at flights to cut it shorter to give myself more me time but the cost is outrageous so I’m debating just canceling and not going at all. But I know I’m going to miss them. And I still have a couple nights to myself so I’m also like it’s fine. Idk we will see haha Take the me time! J is starting to give up naps which is fine since he big sister has too. I wish it meant earlier bedtime but no...

We have all been sick for like, 2 weeks. Probably not helped by all the stress of this past month. I just need the kids to get over it so we can all sleep better. We’re also dealing with a sleep regression for sure- it takes SO LONG to get L down, and then she’s up early. She’s sleeping like 9p-5:30a. I’ve been tricking her into napping by going for a drive, otherwise she just will not take a nap for me. I wish I could get her to nap in her bed!

J is also sick. He has a runny nose and has thrown up. I feel so bad for him.
Also, my teaching partner just found out shes in rejection from her lung transplant and her life expectancy is 2 years. I just feel sick.

I'm sorry for all this, crappy sleep sucks but especially when you are sick on top of it! Hope you all feel better soon. Also thank you for not making me feel like my kid is completely off the rails with these reduced hours of sleep. I'm over here wondering how the hell she goes to bed and gets up so early but i see I am not alone here.

N's back to his wake ups but the MOTN screaming marathon has calmed down a bit- like he will start it but we've been able to calm him down pretty quickly. Thank GOD. realistically I just go to bed quickly after him so I can maximize my sleep, and DH is busy doing work, so whatever, but yeah man. The Dr. and H talked in person today and she found a specialist for us, so we are going to get referred. Not sure what the plan is right now, but we have a plan.
Tomorrow is my ME day! I'm going to get a haircut and colored, and a massage and i'm hoping a mani/pedi if I can squeeze in the time. And lunch by myself. I'm so dang excited.
I'm so tired right now man. I've been napping every day since Wednesday since I stayed home sick from work Th/F so today is my first day back at work for 12 hours and I am STRUGGLING. My voice is shot, too, so all my coworkers are like OMG you sound AWFUL- I'm like thanks guys I had no idea....

So J has been a snotty, coughing mess. Monday night he couldnt sleep and looked terrible. Hes so hoarse he can barely tall or cry. Its so sad. I hels him sitting upright fir 2 hours so he could breathe then he slept with us for 3 hours which he never does. It was a bad night. Tuesday he was hacking again so dh took him to the doctors. He has his first ear infection plus an upper respiratory infection and had a 100.5 fever . He had a tough start to the night last night. From 8 until 1230 he was up crying 6 or 7 times. It was awful but then he slept from 1230 to 7 and so did we. I did not go to work today so i cpuld hang with him. Around 10 he started feeling better and he ate lunch which was his first meal in 48 hours. Howver he is coughing, his chest is congested, and he is still hoarse

Hope he feels better soon. Did they give him antibiotics for the ear infection?

Similar to how N was a week and a half ago. It’s just awful. I’m glad you were able to stay home with him and he started to eat.

Yes he got an antibiotic which i think has helped as he is less stuffy and seems to feel better overall and no fever though the cough and throat are still bad.

I am over this week. J is still a mess. He slept horribly monday, tuesday, wednesday nights. Last night he sttn but is a mess today. He is still hoarse and can barely make noise, still coughing, and still stuffy. It sucks!
Plus my coteacher found she has not 1 but 2 forms of lung rejection, one really aggressive so shes in the hospital getting blood dialysos and is on leave indefinitely...at 31 years old. The kids mqde her a sign, we took a picture, and my mom is taking it to the hospital tomorrow since shes in pittsburgh where she is hospitalized. What a week.

My gosh king26, I’m truly so sorry, that is so heartbreaking about your coworker/friend. Poor J, I hope he starts to improve soon. We are back to shit sleep here too and shenanigans but it is not coinciding with sickness. I hope y’all can get better rest soon.

The kids mqde her a sign, we took a picture, and my mom is taking it to the hospital tomorrow since shes in pittsburgh where she is hospitalized. What a week. Oh king26 I’m so sorry about your co-teacher. It’s devastating. My BFF passed away this summer at 32yo from cancer and it’s just heart breaking to see people so young get so sick. I am glad J started sleeping well again. jt2378 sorry M is being a bad sleeper too. N screamed his head off last night MOTN but luckily it was a fairly quick calm down session and I was able to convince him to sleep in our bed because st this point we just need sleep. His latest thing to add to the list is waking up so fucking early. If he sleeps past 6:30 it’s a goddamn miracle. On the plus side— our pediatrician freaked out at the January 15 sleep specialist appt so she called and worked some magic and got us an appointment for Oct 30!!! I started a sleep log to try and get ahead since I figure they’ll ask for that. But man oh Pete it’s hard to remember each night. They all start to blend together when you try to think back. I need to fill it out ever morning.

Y’all know what’s hilarious. I’m like 95% certain I am one and done. If it were solely up to me I wouldn’t have another kid. But Ben is still on the one more kid train. Last night at midnight when I woke up and snuck out of Ns room and I woke DH up off the couch and then we just fell into our bed, I ask “even with all this sleep shit you still want another kid?” And he goes “yep!” And then passes out.
And I’m like WUUUUUT. I also realize it’s because he’s not the default or primary parent. But I’m working 12hr shifts back to back this weekend and N has been up since 5:55 this morning so maybe he’ll change his mind soon. Plus he will go with him alone on vacation to his moms, so maybe all this, then I say, imagine ALL OF THIS with one more kid!! I just can’t imagine throwing another kid into this sleep deprivation mix lol.
He’s nuts. Good thing I have my IUD 🙅🏻♀️🙅🏻♀️🙅🏻♀️

Also everyone is suggesting skipping naps so nighttime sleep might be better and again, I’m like wut? The thought of that is realllyy unappealing lol. Sorry J is still not sleeping well either king26

We had such a nightmare season here last year that I’m right there with you 😫 Everyone raves about elderberry, I might just add it to our regimen and hope it helps. Have you tried it? Nope but I have heard the same. Actually I did buy the zarbee elderberry immune gummies for D1 last year but didn’t keep up with it consistently. Maybe I’ll try it again this year.
