So Mikey's been really fussy lately--which means I've been real irritable. (Logically, Fussy baby + No sleep = Irritable mommy...check the math texts, it's in there.)
This past week, I think I got one good night's sleep. All the other night's I've gotten about 5-6 hours and then dealt with a really fussy Mikey. I tried changing him, feeding him, singing to him, rubbing his back...nothing! One night he actually screamed his head off from 3 AM until around 5 AM. (Not sure when exactly, because my wonderful mother stepped in and took him downstairs with her.)
This morning, again at 3 AM. I got him to sleep around 4:15, not too much noise, but moving around a lot...think of me as a bed he's tossing and turning on--for a visual. It was not much fun, but I was so relieved when he went back to sleep.
Then I heard a noise, looked at my phone (for the time) and it was only 5 AM!!! Why even bother going to sleep then?! I brought him into bed with me, and after much squirming, got him asleep again. Then again he awoke at 6...this time very stinky. (Not fun trying to change a messy diaper with a very irritable, very squirmy baby.)
My mom took him while I cleaned up and when I sat next to her I caught a glimpse of his gums. He has a tooth breaking through!!! It was a relief to know that there wasn't something wrong with him and it was just teething (like the angst of teething can be downgraded), but still left an irritable mommy.
Elijah is very excited about turning 4--I don't know if I posted that yet. He keeps asking me--every day--is it my birthday yet??? It's so cute to see his expectation and excitement, but it's getting a little redundant to mommy. His birthday is on the 26th. :) He even whispered to me one morning, 'It's almost my birthday, Mom.' in "contained gitty-ness". So I told him this morning that once he turns four he gets a job--help mama with the dishes. He thought that was so cool! He said, '...now??' LOL Oh how I wish we had time. I would have said, 'Yes, let's get to it!' but we had school/work to get off to. He's growing up so fast and I don't like it.
At school they have a wipe-off board outside the door telling what the class did that day. The other day it said 'Practice writing in our journals.' It makes me proud that he's learning so much, but at the same time it makes me sad...he's not my little baby anymore. :( *sniff* *sniff*
Okay, enough sentimentality. :P
Sidenote....................
Sharon left yesterday for Ohio; Kentucky on Sunday. In an attempt to not incriminate myself, I will leave it at that. :)
*SMILE*
