last Friday (to Saturday).
Rough night.

She woke up screaming three times, big tears, etc. Nightmare? Gas? Teething?

Finally, sleeeeeeep!

She woke at 4:15am, hungry! What happened to 6:30am?

Had leaked through diaper - mama didn't put it on properly, oops. Daddy had to change the sheets and everything while mama fed baby.

Baby ate, baby was half-asleep. Mama burped baby, baby burped... and vomited up at least six ounces, all over Mama, chair, floor, Boppy pillow.

Baby is hungry again, but won't eat. Can't sleep, too much went on. Mama is dead exhausted.

Daddy is sleeping.


.....

Even with the occasional rough nights, I still love being a Mommy. Best thing, ever!

That is a rough night...How is she feeling now? I hope all is going well. Being a Mommy is wonderful though isn't it...even despite all the fun! I love you, goodluck!

Oh, things are great. She just had a huge pocket of air in her tummy, apparently... right underneath a whole lot of milk! So when she burped, it all came up! She's done it before (and almost always at her first early morning feeding).

I think she was crying because she was so tired, and kept waking up at the end of her sleep cycles. Poor baby! Normally she sleeps from 7:30pm until at least 5am, so waking up during the night must've really confused her. And it was a cranky, almost panicked cry, and she's a lot like Nevaeh in that she rarely, if ever, cries. So of course that makes ME panic!

I hope your family is doing well! I'm praying that Braden will get a fantastic job that pays oodles of money so you don't have to work, and can just be a stay at home mommy! Even though we can't really afford it, since Felicity still isn't on solid foods (and hates bottles), there's no way I could even consider working unless it's nights... Which wouldn't work because I'd still have to take care of her during the day, so I wouldn't be able to sleep!

Oh awesome, I deleted my response! Here's take two!

I have had several nights like that one!

A tip on the bottles, Kiersten wouldn't take anything either till we tried MAM bottles (babies r us or online elsewhere) that are pre-squished as a baby would do when breastfeeding. (Then once she tried these she'd no longer breastfeed, but at this point i'm quite happy with that!)

not a great picture of the nipples, but a picture at least.

Sorry for the late response!

That's really interesting, because the only pacifiers she'll take are the MAM ones in the same shape!

She used to like Avent bottles, but when we stopped using them for a few months she just wouldn't take them anymore. She'd just not eat for seven hours - without crying or whining, she'd just be really hungry when I got home...

I think we'll try those! Thanks for the tip!

By the way, all of your videos of Kiersten walking are adorable. Felicity's isn't anywhere near that stage yet, but she's finally scooting... backwards, of course. =) Eric was walking at 9 months, but it took me until 14 months, so I'm guessing Felicity will be somewhere in between.
