Four hours

038

043

I hoped to post tonight but it's just not happening. I have spent the past four hours trying to type while one of my children decided they would rather not sleep but nurse for hours on end (non-stop mind you). That rather puts a damper on a train of thought, know what I mean? I hope I don't come across as being bitter - I'm not. It's really not such a big deal but I need just a few minutes to myself to wind down each night and to catch up on things or else I lose my patience (and fall miserably behind), but that just isn't in the cards for me this evening (now almost morning). Off to go cuddle with my poor little one, how could I resist? Hoping you are all having a more restful night than I am.

Oooh. I hope Mr. Teething (or whatever his issue is) sorts himself out. Your poor nipples!

It's hard when you don't get a little 'you' time to unravel yourself. We were in a similar boat last week while my bub cut her top two front teeth. Hope your little one feels better soon.

I feel you! My husband has been working unusually long hours this week, and time for myself has been short. My patience was gone this morning when my son woke me and baby up early when he heard daddy getting ready for work. Oh well, at least the week is almost over! good luck finding some down time.

Not getting rest and down time stinks. I know :) But remember you don't owe us anything. Post when you're ready and able. Have a sweet weekend!

Alas, my night resembled your four hours. Except that I was trying go sleep, not post. And my little one was likely attached for 75% of the night. Ugh. No wonder my back is killing me (I'm a tummy sleeper, if given the choice - which active nursing does not). Here's hoping today works out better for you! *virtual hugs*

Oh, poor thing! Same here the past few nights...Nomi (Dominic) has been nursing and nursing and nursing...it's made me so crabby! I swear it must be hormones because I love the cuddle time and I'm grateful to be able to still be nursing him etc. but jeez it makes me want to run and hide--just for a few minutes of alone! These pictures are so happy, I hope you got some sleep after all of that! I always have to remind myself to drink extra water after these marathon feedings. xoxo

Is it sad that I miss those sleepless times, my son tuned 5 this week, and my daughter is 6 and I'd love to go back to that. Mind you just for a little while.

I know the frustration well. It's challenging. I am also learning I NEED that time alone each evening. Hope you have your time back soon.

Oh mama, I hear you! My little Hart is just a couple weeks younger than L and has also become a sleepless wonder lately. I keep reminding myself of all the big changes babies of this age go through, but it sure is tough on the mamas! Hope we both get more rest soon!

We had a crazy night ourselves last night. Our 2 year old woke and was restless and nursed some, continued to be restless until I realized he was hungry, like hungry for a midnight snack. Once he got a full belly he went right back to slumber. It was wild.

Hope you got some rest last night and that you can find some mama time just for you this weekend! :)

Hugs to you, Mama. Spent my first 18 months with the boy like that...it can make a Mama mad. So glad that this is a temporary phase, eh? xoxo

Ah! It must be the night for it :)
Master 3 fell asleep early and has woken before midnight deciding he is hungry (usually he just sleeps until breakfast, with the 'climb in for a cuddle of course' in the middle). I am trying to finish my assignment due Mon and he is in chatterbox mode. So cute, so lovely. Normally I would just go to bed with him but I need to get some more done on this! Anyhoo... sleep happy all, hope you get some zeds

I know how the non-stop nursing goes sometimes. :)

Hi again Nicole!
Thanks for your comment and for appreciating our buttons! :) We love making them. And yes, we live in Oregon too. We are near the coast, about an hour outside of Eugene. It is nice to meet Oregonian neighbors!

Have a great night,

Love, Taryn
