Spoke Too Soon

Darn it, I should have known better. We're back at ground zero. While they are eating better, sleep is now practically non-exisitent- for both them and us. Last night I was awake around 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and up at 6:30 am for good. I miss my babies who at least took 30-45 minute naps and my great night sleeper Anna who STTN at around 6 weeks old.

You can do it...hang in there...it is hard...and scary...and frustrating...BUT...

You and your babies will find your way out of all of this...in the meantime...crying does make you feel better (I've done plenty of that for sure!)

Any element of late PPD popping up? Though given what you're going through, it's most likely situational.
Sorry to hear you had an awful night.

Oh Katie, I'm so sorry. I was hoping you had figured out the solution on your own since your pedi hasn't been much help. I'm sorry to hear that their sleep has gotten so much worse. It's hard to cope with anything when you're terribly sleep deprived- I'm sure that's what brought on the panic attack.

I know it's so hard to see now, but you WILL get through this. You will. You're a fantastic mom and you're doing the best you can. Try to take it day to day (or hour to hour or minute to minute) right now or you'll freak yourself out (at least, that's how I would be in your shoes). Any chance you can have your mom or Jake's mom come stay for a while again? Or another family member or friend? Sounds like you need some back-up right now. Hang in there.

Oh no, are they both hitting their 3 month growth spurt at the same time? I'm so sorry Katie. I know it feels like it will never end, but Kerri's right... you will get through this.

Hang in there!! I know, easier said than done. You will be in my thoughts!!

Holy cow girl, you seriously need some live in help right now!

I'm so sorry Katie!! Lexi has been night waking recently too. Just since I stopped giving her the prevacid before bed. Now she wakes up whimpering and crying. I wonder if they still need that late dosage? It's all about trial and error. This is getting ridiculous though! I hope you get some sleep soon!
