Kara I feel that way too. I get frustrated too but more during the day bc she changes her nap times daily and gets overtired easily which leads to fussiness which in turn gets me frustrated. If you were to quit bf you would still have to get up to give a bottle. I supplement Ellie with formula bc I just don't make enough milk. Especially now that she's eating 5-6 oz when she gets a bottle. We will usually top her off with a formula bottle or give an entire formula bottle before bed so DH can feed her if he's been at work all day. She will sleep about 5 hours (last night 6.5 hours) straight, then I bf her and it's enough bc I make more at night and I pump right before I go to bed so my boobs know to refill. Then she usually sleeps till 5 or 6, bf again and sleeps till 8 or 9. Who knows how it will be when I go back to work...

Hopefully it's not ppd. It's very easy to get frustrated, IMO. Especially when you are home alllllll day by yourself. DH works 12 hour shifts and while I absolutely love giving my undivided attention to my baby, I would love it if she slept on a schedule during the day so I can get more done and be able to plan around her
 
Sorry you are all having a tough time. I am definitely nervous.

Ashlee, I am SO sorry you are miserable. Ugh!

Bb, yay for MS. Lol. Funny what we are thankful for..

I'm still so burnt and so sore. Even with cooling aloe gel. Ugh! Go. Away! Lol
 
Cute Rachel! I like the second one.
Afm I got some sun today, why do I have to be so pale. I start femara tomorrow.
 
Love the gifts!

Katrina- yay for the new cycle!

Kara- i still feel that way and he is my second! I just keep7reminding myself that i am his world and he just wants me to hold him. I did clean out the fridge plus empty and reload the dishwasher tonight. All while he slept in my Moby. I am so accomplished!
 
I'm in no way saying alia's schedule is perfect, but by 3.5-4months her naps became more predictable.

3am up for feeding
6am up for the day/milk/cereal
715am nap 1
1030am up milk and veggie (1oz)
1215 pm nap 2
215pm up milk
430pm nap 3
515pm up veggie (1oz) and milk and bath
630 bed time

now that I say that shes been super sleepy today, so hoping she feels ok and will sleep well tonight.
 
Kara- Alia was like that until 3.5 months...then that went to hell for a month...now shes back to a good span again.
 
Katrina, fx! Cycle 3 was lucky for me. Hope it is for you too!!

Do you guys set schedules or baby sets them?
 
Thanks Sandy! I think the end of af is worse then the beginning that's when I start doubting it and when people tick me off.
 
I've let Ellie set her schedule and I just pay attention so I can help her to sleep when it's about time for her naps. She does a mid morning nap, after 12p (long nap) and another around 4ish. It's not clockwork though. Hopefully soon...
I'm hoping that soon I can move her into her room at night. I guess once she consistently sleeps the majority of the night, then I will. It helps me function to keep her nearby.
 
Bb- good luck.

Katrina - still praying for your turn!

sandy- for the most part, Alia made her schedule....at this point I know it so well that I just prepare for everything... So she doesn't cry/scream for what she needs.
 
I do kind of a combo. Mostly parent led (babywise) but if she's hungry then I don't just ignore it and wait, Ill feed her. She's always been pretty good at eating every 3 hours on the dot, rarely less then 3 hours between feeds.

Bb- everything will be just fine! I can't wait to see!! :)
 
Girls who have had 2 or more babies, did you find the pregnancy more painful than your first? I spoke to my friend today and she said her 2nd pregnancy was more painful. I ask because I keep having quite intense lower abdominal pains. It only lasts a few minutes then goes. I've spoke to early pregnancy unit because I was scared but they reassured me that it's normal. I honestly don't remember the cramps being like this with Tristan. The only way to explain it is like needing to go to the toilet?
