Very bad week
  • Amgr1992
    This has been a horrible week. I've not slept in 4 days. Threw off the girls schedual trying to get in bed before 3am so that I could get some sleep. Guess what didnt happen? I have to stay awake to get hubby up for work because for the past couple of weeks he hasnt been able to get himself up and stay awake long enough to feed the girls and get ready for work and out the door in a timely manner. I asked to lay down for an hour-an hour and a half and 30 mins in I'm woken up to screaming babies and the rescue I have that turns into a little psycho when locked in a room locked in the bedroom with me. Now? The girls have nicely decided they dont want to be on mommy's schedule anymore so any time I would have to sleep is now gone. And hubby booked it out the door 15 mins early so he didnt have to deal with it. We may have no phone because we needed to decide that diapers and food was more important and who knows when that will go off or come back on. I'm seriously close to my breaking point. I have graves disease. It's a thyroid condition, and as such I get the rapid weight loss and severe mood swings when my levels are off and I haven't been able to make any appointments for me because I cant afford an uber. I really dont know how much longer I can take this.

    Lots of prayers. My niece has been going through the same kind of sleep issues with her newborn and her two year old. The newborn is waking the two year old at all hours and then usually the older boy won't go back to sleep, so between the two of them my niece doesn't sleep much either. It will pass eventually! My niece was the same way as a baby, made me crazy, but she did finally grow out of it. One thing that might help is keeping them awake during the evening so that when you want to put them to bed, they'll be tired. That's what my niece's pediatrician just told her to do. Good luck!

    Hugs hun.

    I have no useful ideas, but I do know that in a relatively short time they will get through this stage too. Good luck with getting enough sleep to stay sane till they get there.

    Thank you guys :x sitting here I'm extremely lightheaded (symptom of my thyroid condition) the girls are crying because they are overtired, and it hurts to put my arm down because I have a psoriasis sore in my armpit. I just cant win. I dont know what I can do to help them :(
  • Amgr1992
    also I'm not sure if this is allowed but it's totally legal here, my friends mom makes cbd gummies and she gave me a trial batch to see if it helps my mood swings. I cant handle the random bouts of rage anymore and it makes me uncomfortable to be around the babies when I get like that because I'm scared something will happen :-((
  • SeaswellSeaswell
    I know this sounds hokey, but try putting the girls in the same crib so they can touch each other, take a gummy, and pull a chair in their room. Singing badly is very comforting to kids that age, and can get you out of having to hold them while they calm overtired minds to go to sleep. And it's something you can do in low light. If you pick something repetitive and simple like you are my Sunshine or the ants go marching, you can use it regularly to get ahead of that overtired state where they can't sleep.

    Thank you seaswell! Unfortunately no cribs yet but I can everything else :) maybe if I touch them just so they feel some connection! Daddy is gonna try to see if he can settle them while I chill with my kitten (shes 7 but I've had her from 2 weeks old) he thankfully doesnt work tomorrow so here's to hoping!
  • SeaswellSeaswell
    Touch is very important, it's why I suggested putting them together. Enjoy your kitten time while Dad has daughter time. I have been a nanny for 30 years now... Man I feel old... And have 2 grown boys. I hate hearing when you are struggling cause I want to help. If you ever need to talk I'm an inbox away.

    Thank you Seaswell! Hazel's second tooth broke through sometime between last night and this morning, I think that was the big part of the complete meltdown before bedtime! Sophia is still waiting for hers, but she is swelling a little bit. I feel so bad because Sophia cant have anything with lidocaine because shes on a beta blocker to reduce the size of her strawberry (hemangioma) birthmark. It had ulcerated and then recently WIC split the bottom open by forcing her foot and toe flat and it got infected. I have no clue what I'm doing, it's just so much going on for these poor girls

    I highly suggest letting the girls snuggle with a shirt either you or dad has worn (or blanket you guys use often) while trying to calm them if you aren’t holding them. Sometimes just the scent will help soothe them when they can’t feel your breathing or heartbeat. When my youngest was about 6 months old he went through a phase where sleep was overrated and he wanted nothing to do with it, and it was a miserable month. When I got to the point I couldn’t hold him because my older son needed me, I put him in his swing with a shirt of mine and his paci and sang, and it would soothe him to sleep. Do you have any family close by, or close friends that you trust, to help with the girls even for an hour? Never underestimate the power of having just an hour to yourself, it will work a miracle in your mood and overall outlook. There were some days I didn’t know what a brush was it got so crazy, and eating? Forget it. For teething anything cold, frozen wash clothes, teethers, everything! Can they have Tylenol? Because I would definitely offer some of that before bed to help with some of the discomfort.

    One thing to remember momma, is kids are resilient. As long as they have you and what they need, they will be just fine. You are doing awesome

    Just an FYI, no mom ever has known what they are doing, cause every single child is different.

    I make ice cube ghosts for teethers in the summer time. Take a damp wash cloth, put an ice cube in the middle and tie it in with a rubber band. Easy to hold, and pieces of popcicle work really well too if they need flavor. (Frozen breast milk is the best)

    I hope Sophie's foot gets better soon.

    Thanks FallenShadows! They have frozen teethers that Hazel prefers warm :-)) thank you Seaswell! We are gonna freeze some grape pedialyte, since I can no longer breastfeed unfortunately. And her foot will eventually heal, it's just gonna take awhile
