I'm going to just start a thread that is baby related...
He's tried:
- oatmeal
- broccoli
Currently obsessed with his feet and yelling little roars!
And we think he said Dada this morning while baking in his crib!
#FTM #FirstTimeMom #Motherhood #BoyMom #SAHM
Yeah I rocked mine for an hour straight once, for his little eyes to pop back open as soon as his head hit the mattress...
That sounds rough!
At least if mine resists, there is only one...
Mama Authors!
How old are your little one(s)? And what do you write?
Any tips?

One AM wake up...
Pretty sure it's baby trying to digest foods, since we're staying solid! But man, there is a reason mom brain is a thing...
No other time have i survived off so little sleep!
(Gonna try solids earlier in the day)

Night Feed!
We haven't had these in awhile and now 2 in the last week. Not sure what's going on...
But we did move him into his big boy crib last night?
#FTM #FirstTimeMom #Motherhood #BoyMom
I got to sleep at a decent time last night! Only to have baby:
- wake/self settle at 2 am
- wake/need settled at 4 am
- wake/self settle at 6 am
- wake for a bottle at 7 am
My little guy has slept pretty much 9 30 pm to 7 am since 3 months. So that was hard...
#FTM #FirstTimeMom #Motherhood
New tasks:
- wash sheets
- break down bedside bassinet
- break down big boxes
- take to recycling & hope they fit
- decorate corner above crib
- get string lights
- find polaroids with family
- find tiny clothes pins
- ect
And each of those will spawn a new list...
2/2
I swear you do one thing on this never ending to do list & it spawns six or more new tasks...
Crib built & set up in bedroom! Have to wait 48 hrs to use the mattress...

I'm so bad at sleeping! Every night I tell myself I'm going to go to sleep early. So when this early morning feed comes, I'm not so tired...
... and every night without fail I'm up to one cause I want me time!
#FTM #FirstTimeMom #Motherhood #BoyMom #MomSky #MomCommunity
I'm so bad at this! Because I know her, she ain't gonna do nothing if I miss this deadline...
Spending part of my morning in bed with my little guy and my husband! Before starting some errands and all the chores...
This is what Saturdays were made for!

The path to success is a squiggle, not a straight line. 🥰

...currently I read in the dark next to my little one with no place to set a drink.
So no liquid while reading for now!
It might be the whole 4 month regression? I think we're on the tail end of it...
Mine is now self settling, not every time but some of the time. And he's lengthening his wake windows but not his naps. Still rock him, but it's getting less and less.
Oh I tried!
Because when he wakes at 5 am, he can settle back to sleep but not that first one.
I've been using it as an excuse to read for an hour next to him in bed. This week he didn't wake up every night. So I think he's working on it...
The lack of conservative sleep is a killer!
And yeah, since the regression hit I've been putting him down at night but staying in bed next to him reading. Within 45 to 60 mins he typically wakes up and needs a snuggle, then back to bed until morning.
That started with the regression...
We've started making sure he got a full bottle of 6 oz right before bed, and that helped so much with him sleeping through the night...
It is midnight...
Baby has been asleep for 2 hours...
The cat woke him up getting into the window...
Cause another cat is outside...
Kinda mad at everything right now!
#FTM #FirstTimeMom #Motherhood #PNW
I also give my void punitive cuddles...he is both big mad and loving every minute
I mean he can...
Just run for office.
Moms that also write books...how are you doing it??
My brain feels like jelly and my *me time* comes in 30 mins chunks where I have to choose to eat, to pee, to rest OR to get something done...
#FTM #FirstTimeMom #Motherhood #MomWriter #MomAuthor #AuthorLife
Mine was slowly going to sleep at 9 instead of 10 (we're a second shift household) and when he did he woke earlier each time.
He's kind of consistent now with 9/10 to 7/8? It's weird right now with the regression and all...
He's 4.5 months! Be 20 weeks on Saturday!
He use to wake at 3/5. Went to waking only at 7. And it's back to a 5 am wake up. But he self settles at that wake up now instead of needing a bottle.
I just remember at 2 months I was doing night time feed thoughts. And now he doesn't need those feeds...
Night feeds have turned into early morning feeds...
... and it still feels like I'm getting no sleep!
