We will have a christmas with his siblings tomorrow... but today was out visiting people... and then a pizza parlor for lunch.

I put her down early 9:30 in her RnP so I could have a cocktil and watch Teen Mom 2... she is just jabbering away... but baby dad is playing video games so my TV time is postponed

She will probably want to eat in an hour or so anyway.. then down for the night

1:17.  

We already did Christmas with MIL. Tomorrow will be spent and my aunt's and DH's aunt's. Then we will have something with my mom's side next weekend. 

DD took her bottle at 7 and I put her down. She didn't get up til 12:30! She took most of that bottle pretty quickly and now I'm waiting to make sure she's actually asleep before tucking myself back in. Tonight is a far cry from last night. DH had woken me up last night because DD was messing around and not eating and it sws frustrating DH. So by the time I got her settled and she was up for the next feeding, I had only slept 4ish hours. While DH got a total of around 8. And then he went to work for his 24 hour shift. Awesome. 

I'm ready for the holidays to be over... which is terrible to say. Everything's just been so busy and off schedule that it's pretty stressful, and I'm really not one to be stressed about that. It is our LO's first Christmas though, so here's hoping everyone (including myself) can enjoy themselves at least a little!

We did our Christmas today, tomorrow we are going to DHs aunts for dinner. Nice and quiet Christmas for us.

DD has been sleeping for a few hours and DH and I have been enjoying our evening and watching Pitch Perfect :smiley face:

Overall we have had a great day, hoping for a goodnight, and another great day tomorrow.

Merry Christmas!

Almost 2:30, just fed A (who slept for about 3 hours).  Our Christmas Eve was a mess, I was so disappointed bc it's my favorite part of Christmas.  All she did was fuss all night long...you could tell it was just a whiny cry - nothing was wrong.  I just wanted to go to church and hang out with my family.  Maybe next year.  Hoping tomorrow goes better.

1:30 and my little drama queen just woke up screaming like, 'mom, you should already be feeding me!' Yet she would only try latching for about a second before freaking again. After DH calmed her down she ate for about 2 minutes and then I gave her the paci and she seems content again.

It's 2:25. 10 more minutes of holding LO upright and then I can lay him down to sleep n RnP. Im too tired to try crib tonight. Hoping I get him back down in RnP and I can get 4 hours at least. We were at brother and SIL's. Fed him at 10 thinking he'd sleep in car (45 min drive) and we'd leave him in carseat to sleep his firt stretch. Of course he woke as soon as car stopped. Had to rock him back to sleep. Finally got him down around 12:50. He woke at 1:45 to eat. 

 Tonight was Christmas Eve with brother and SIL, mom and family. Tomorrow we host Christmas for Dh's entire family. My mom will join us for that too. Then on Wed we have Christmas with close family friends. On Thursday Christmas with our "Italian cousins". Then on Sunday we do Christmas with our group of friends and their kids. 

LO is spoiled already. Can imagine the stuff I'll be sorting through by the end of the week!

4:20. Wow. Worst night ever. I tried to get M to sleep through 1:30 when I finally had to ask DH to take over. I had been nursing M on and off for the past 3 hours. He would latch on and fall asleep. I'd put him in his bassinet and 5 min later he would wake up screaming to eat. I told DH just to give him formula because I was so tired.

He cried with DH until DH put him in the swing and he slept for a little over an hour. Then woke up hungry again. DH made him a bottle but M was having a hard time with it so he kept crying. I got up and took over because DH was getting frustrated.

Now he's fighting sleep still. I'm trying to rock him but it looks like I'm not sleeping tonight. We have Christmas at my grams and I almost just want to say we're not going anymore...

We will have Christmas morning just me, SO, and little man. Then we will go to my Granny's with my parents, sisters, aunt, uncle, cousin, and my niece and nephew.

The fussy middle of the night time only lasted for an hour tonight! N ate at 130 and was down by 2. It's 5 now and we are up nursing. Hopefully it's back to bed soon for us both!

Merry Christmas!!!

that stinks, hope you get some rest soon.

W has been faking me out for the last two hours. She's grunting in her sleep, I get up thinking she's awake and go in to get her and she's sawing logs. DH gave her a bottle at a little after 10 last night and put her down. It's nearly 6 am now! She's sleeping a little longer each night. I was afraid that I wasn't going to have another champion sleeper like DD is, but she may have just picked up that trait from big sis. Merry Christmas to me!

So, now I am just up and waiting for DD to come bouncing out of her bed and land in front of the tree. I am so excited to see her opening gifts this year. Then we have breakfast and pack up the girls and head to my moms for Christmas with my brothers, SILs and all the kids. Is gonna be a noisy day. Get all 11 of the kids in one room ( all between the ages of 9 and 1 month) and its gets rowdy. It's awesome!

hope you all have wonderful celebrations today! Merry Christmas!!

Sorry you're having a rough night jleigh! Hopefully we don't hear from you again because you and LO are fast asleep!

5:00 here. I'm still not feeling well so DH took Hallie downstairs around 2 so I could sleep. He's amazing...though I feel crazy guilty making him take care of her all night. Then again...I normal do the night shift...and the day shift. If he's not working for another week and a half then he can stay up with her a few nights! He just brought her up to eat. I fed her and now both are zonked back out.

Merry Christmas my bumpie friends!!!!

jleigh, hang in there! Is your LO comfort nursing? I've had a rough time with H the last two days for that reason. He finishes eating, but then screams unless my boob is in his mouth. So we are working on some strategies to stop that. I obviously don't know all the details of your situation, but sounds a little similar? GL to you and Merry Xmas to everyone!
