Hello friends! I need advice and help on sleeping troubles for toddlers. Today I'm sharing our current struggle and hoping that someone out there has experienced the same (or similar) thing and can help me think of something else to do. I feel like we've tried everything but going on 2 weeks of VERY little sleep is starting to cause me to become delirious haha!
I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

My Postpartum Recovery // Good, Bad and Emotional Events
She is so precious!!! So happy for your family! They did it to me as well because my baby was in distress as well. First they punctured the amniotic sac to speed up the delivery and then they had to put more water into me when my contractions already started. I could not tolerate this and asked for an epidural at that point
If it makes you feel better, I completely gave up with my 22 month old and we have been cosleeping since he turned 13 months old. He is still nursing at night - he wakes up, nurses for 5 min and falls asleep again without me getting up. I wanted to start weaning when he turns 2 y.o. and I am bracing myself - it's going to be crazy I am sure with lots of crying and screams. I tried to keep my sanity to be able to work in the morning and now I feel I made the situation much worse. He still wakes up sometimes at 2 am and I have to play with him for an hour and he falls back to sleep after that. By the way, you look fabulous for someone who didn't sleep since 2 am. I look horrible usually - with huge under eye bags and blue circles
You are too kind! I’ll send lots of prayers for your upcoming transition as well ❤️
Stephanie, have you thought of Childrens Zarbees Calm Gummies? It has magnesium and chamomile in it which might help him relax before bed.
No, I hadn’t heard of that before but I’m looking into it now! Thanks for the suggestion Page! Hope you’ve been doing well 😊
@@StephanieGotcher thank you, you too! i have honestly never tried them before, but i have heard of them and all good things! i wouldn't give my child melatonin at such a young age, but i would feel okay with the magnesium or chamomile. 🙂
Haha, my husband looked up if you could give them melatonin lol! I would feel better with this option too!
@@StephanieGotcher haha might knock that little boy right out! i just know i have taken melatonin on occasion and it's made me feel really weird, so i would not ever give my child that. maybe the melatonin should be for you and your hubby so that you guys can stay asleep when Matthew wakes up!! LOL!!!
LOL!! Melatonin definitely will put me to sleep really well. If anything says “may cause drowsiness” I’ll be out like a light!
Getting mine done this morning and I’m going under anesthesia!! Trying not to buy into a lot of horror stories I’m a nervous wreck!!!
Praying for you now Latesha!
Oh yea, been there too! Lol My daughter was excited the first week of switching to bed because it’s something new. But by week 2, the struggle began and she’ll make excuses and sometimes knock on our door all night crying. It took time, but stay consistent and don’t believe all their excuses 😂 My daughter sleeps well in her bed now but it took months to a year of staying consistent and keeping the same routine. You’ve got this momma! 🫶🏾
Thanks Mary! Night 2 of our new routine was last night and it was already better than the first night. Hoping it’s a trend in the right direction 🙏🏼🤞🏼
Been there twice! (I have 3 littles) The sleeping adjustment is hard, it took us a couple months, with phases of success and regression. Each kiddo is different, but consistency is key. You will get through it. God Bless, Merry Christmas 🎄
Thank you for letting me know I’m not alone 😛 Merry Christmas!
I am on my 7 day post transfer. I don’t feel anything except for bloating and thirst. I feel super bloated especially at night. Thank you for this video as I’m very anxious and a little scared to do the home pregnancy test.
Congrats of everything How’s the Pap smear test etc.. hope everything is going good 🙏🙏
Thank you so much! Everything so far has checked out fine on my paps ever since 🤞🏼🙏🏼
@ thx great news I’m glad for your news I hope works perfect for my wife to Her Pap smear is normal thx god but she is hpv positive she find out 6 months ago when she was doing ivf :(.. we waiting next month het colposcopy .. I pray to god everything works out good 🙏
I had my leep procedure done in the hospital as I demanded under anesthesia. That procedure was so painful even afterwards. There is no reason why we should be suffering through this in the doctor's office when they have the option to do it in the hospital. We are not a third world country. Tell them to have their circumcision done in the doctor's office with no anesthesia .
Congrats on your baby stephanie❤ My miracle IVF daughter is 4 months old❤
Congrats Sabrina! That’s so exciting ❤️
Omg congratulations I cannot explain how happy I am, after watching your leep experience, congratulations congratulations congratulations 🎉 there’s so many women out there has so many questions and fear about not having a baby or whatnot, seen this kinda amazing videos gives hope ❤ wishing you LONG and HEALTHY LIFE with your beautiful family 😘❤️
Thank you so much for those kind words! 🥰
But u had symptoms,why do u claim u had no pregnancy symptoms
I had my surgery 1 month ago. I’m still recovering from it. Is very common for women. Talk to you doctor young lady
Thank you for sharing. God is not a punishing God. Amen!
Do you mind if i ask how much pain you had and for how many days? I mean, after it was done. Thanks
I am having my second baby in February ❤ thank you for your advice. Could you please provide links to the products mentioned 🙏🏻❤️
I needed this video so much. Thank you for your honesty and sharing your faith and struggles. I'm 8dp 6 dt... I still have 4 days until my beta. I don't want to do an at home test.
Adding you to my prayers and praying you get positive news very soon! ❤️🙏🏼
Thank you for sharing your experience. On August 14th of this year I had my annual Pap smear done and it also came back abnormal. September 9th I had an appointment with an OBGYN and they did the same procedure as you had done and they used vinegar to determine whether they needed to biopsy anything from my cervix. They indeed needed to biopsy a place on my cervix. It came back as severe dysphasia and they have me set up with having a LEEP done on November 1st. Watching your video made me feel better and I appreciate you being brave enough to share your experience. I also am going to share my experience soon, because they really don’t tell you much about HPV. Thank you!!
Sending you lots of prayers and love! I hope your procedure is successful 🙏🏼
How did your procedure go?
Have your Pap smears been normal ever since your leap? And also what about your HPV test? Have they been negative
I haven’t had any other irregular paps since this experience
Awww congratulations 🎊 😊
Thank you ☺️
You are welcome 😊
Congratulations!! Blessings to you and baby
Thank you ☺️
Congratulations 🎉God bless you and your family
Thank you so much Agnes! ❤️
Thank you for sharing ! I just found out today I’m going to have to have it done , and have been freaking out .
I’m going to have a d & c procedure because I may have fibroids and such causes my abnormal bleeding for past two to three months 😢😢 and now they recently found out I have HPV and need also LEEP procedure 😢😢😢😢 I’m so scared !!! And wanted one more child 😢😢😢 I’m have in a week from now 😮😢
That’s funny .. I stopped telling people what was happening now that I’m about to have my transfer soon. I told my mom I wanted it to be a surprise so she stopped asking about it. My sister ..she asks me every so often. I think I have to tell her I’m still taking my meds when I’m not. And omg your dad is adorable. 🥰
Haha, it definitely added a level of difficulty to try and surprise them ☺️ praying for your upcoming transfer and positive results ❤️
Thank you for sharing your story. I had my leep done 2 weeks ago. I’ve had a light bleeding at the beginning, just like a dark discharge and now I think I’m having my period, it’s been bleeding for 7 days (light bleeding though) and mild cramping. In a couple days I’m seeing my doctor for a follow up and talk about the leep results. I was terrified on the surgery day but everything went well (had general anesthesia) and I’m so glad I did cause I would be terrified with local. I was planning on having kids now but the surgery kinda ruined for now, we’ll have to wait a little for cervix to heal.
I’m glad to hear everything went well on surgery day! I hope you get good news on your results this week. I’m sorry about the ruined plans for having babies right now. That was the worst kick in the stomach for me too. Praying for healing and a healthy baby for you next year ☺️
Today is my 7th day of embryo transfer i have a bit of back pain and headache
Hi Staphanie just when for my 3rd embryo transfer
Hoping for good results for you ❤️
Can you please share what were the grades of your embryos?
I literally just got the results from the PANORAMA results and I'm high risk for trisomy 13, trisomy 18 or triploidy and I'm almost 14 weeks and I'm literally so devastated
@chelsearose6476 I’m so very sorry to hear that. I’m praying for you and your sweet baby that the results are clean, healthy baby. I know that deep, devastating feeling and my heart hurts for you Momma! The main thing that helped me was leaning into God (praying, reading my Bible, and journaling). I’m praying for your heart and that God will give you peace and hope in this season 🙏🏼❤️
Congratulations!!! I got my POSITIVE 5dpt, I knew i was on day 3, my boobs were so very sore, the cramping was very particular too, tired and noticed I was feeling hot, like a furnace lol, so I decided to test and there it was 👶🙌💜🌌💯 Good luck to all off you on your journey to motherhood 🙏💜🙏💜🙏💜🙏💜🙏🙏💯
I got Gardisil and still got HPV. The V is worthless.
My symptoms went away after 7dp5dt… I had all of it, cramping, food aversions, nausea, constipation, and now I do not feel anything. Im still holding on on day 9 because my clinic gave me the Beta test on day 14. So Im a wreck already. 😢
I’m praying over you and your precious embryo right now! I know how awful the waiting is 😞 Symptoms can come and go so don’t give up hope Momma 🥰🙏🏼 Sending you lots of love and hugs!
Thank you! We have a beautiful and healthy babygirl in the “oven”. 😊 just thinking about how much I stressed… and now we are in 16 weeks. 🎉😊
Aww, that’s amazing news!! So happy to hear everything is going well ☺️ Thank you so much for letting me know! 🥰
Thank you, But it is not like a pap smear. When I was about 20 years old, which I now realized was inappropriate for me to have one, as well as within the last couple days, that s*** is not like a pap smear that s*** hurts. I've been in pain for the last few days. Don't mind me, I'm just sort of talking s*** as I'm listening. Thank you for talking about this though and opening a discussion for it. Don't mind me, it's not directed at you personally, I'm just in a weird place in general. I'm glad i continued to listen. Thank you for your honesty.
How are you ? Hope you update on baby number 2 ❤ .
I’m in the process of editing our birth story video now 😉
@@StephanieGotcher okay I'm excited to watch it 😊🤗
❤❤❤Happy for you
Thank you
Thank you for this video
That makes me feel better! I’m on my 2nd day after FET. I only feel mild cramping and that’s it. I just hope by day 7 my HCG level is high 🙏🏼
Sending lots of good vibes and praying for you! ❤️
I'm on 7th day and I only have cramping. How did you go with the treatment any good news if you don't mind me asking
Hope you recover soon!❤
I missed my MIL a lot and was doing it all myself
Im worried my blood came out with some disorders
HIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Natalie! ❤️
'Every good and perfect thing comes from the Lord.'
I’m gaining so much weight because this procedure, I don’t know what to do, I don’t change my lifestyle at all💔
I’m so sorry to hear that! Have you mentioned that to your doctor yet?
@@StephanieGotcher yess. He said is bot relation between weight and this. But is the only thing I change, I sure about it, I take care a lot a lot of my weight 💔
Wholehearted congratulations! I'm currently 6dp5dt and I really see what you were describing about the two week wait. Thank you for your optimism!! ❤
from which fertility clinic ??
DFW Fertility Associates
Thank you for sharing! I'm 3 days past transfer and have been so down. I really needed to hear your journey! Ty! ❤
I’m so happy my journey helped in some way. Those days past transfer are long and lonely b/c most people don’t know the anxiousness that comes with IVF. I’m praying for you and a positive outcome on your beta day!! 💖💙
Hey, watching my hives inflammation fade day after day until they completely vanished was such a relief, I went with what I pointed out and within the first 10 days or so the urticaria/angioedema was barely visible! I just go'ogled the latest by Shane Zormander and after 20 days my skin has never been healthier!
Stephanie, do you have any embryos left after baby girl? Sooo happy for you and cannot wait to see your birth vlog!
We do! We have one boy embryo left 💙 Hope you’re doing well Page!!
