About last night

Last Night…

4 am his lights are on and standing in the crib. A quick diaper change, a reminder that its still night time, a couple rocks in the chair and he is back in the crib.

***I lay back down around 4:15 and can’t seem to shut my mind off. Should I get up? No! Maybe?***

4:40 am his lights are on again. This time he is crying. Another quick diaper change, (only because he had a very dirty one), yet another reminder that its still dark and dark means sleep! I rock him and lay him down.

***4:50 am! I guess I should get up, I could go work out but what if he gets up again? It’s not fair to Todd. So I lie back down and shut my eyes. I think I drift off, I’m not really sure.***

5:10 am there are tears and cries for mommy! I go in and don’t get him out of the crib. I tell him to lie back down and go night night.

***5:15 am I have NO IDEA at this point if I went back to sleep.***

5:40 am his lights are on again and he is crying. Once again I go in and tell him to lie down, he wants me to rock him but I said, “we’ve already done that. It’s night time.”

*** 5:50 am I lay down and notice that McKinley is now starting to stir around! CRAP! I watched Wyatt on the monitor and he cried for a minute but then laid down and was quiet. I think I did go back to sleep.***

6:20 am he is up and crying. No lights are on because I turned them on low! I ignored him and Todd got up with him. (Sorry honey, I was just worn out!) Wyatt came to our bed and watched Princess and the Frog. I shut my eyes until…

6:30 I’m UP! Got dressed, ready for the day and then at 6:45 McKinley woke to eat! Needless to say, I’m very tired today!

All night long

As I sit here pumping in bed at 3:30 in the morning, I wonder how I got my little one to sleep all night long in his crib! I'm watching wiggle and move on the baby monitor and thank God that he can now sleep all night with no help! Me on the other hand, well I'm trying to keep that milk supply up and create a supply for when we go out of town. When will my days of All Night Long come? - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

We all need friends

I remember almost a year ago when a good friend of mine invited me to a lunch group, Friday's at noon. At that time in my life I needed it! I needed to get out and meet new friends, other ladies with children about the same age, going through the same thing. This was a life saver for me. I am not a very outgoing person and it's hard to make friends when you don't have a full time job. Long story made short.... I made some GREAT friends in that group. As all good things to do though, things changed, people moved on and life became a little crazy for all of us. So the lunch group is starting up again and even though some people have left, we have some new faces to get to know! Wednesday a couple of us went out for a ladies night out and it was great! Two new people for me to get to know and I feel like I have made two new life long friends. It's so refreshing to just have a night out with the ladies and yes, we may spend the whole night talking about our babies and what t

First trip to the ER

Image
Yesterday was a day of firsts! First time to try to potty training and first trip to the ER. Here is how we ended up there..... He woke up feeling good and we had a nice start to potty training! He didn't eat a lot of breakfast but some days he does and others he doesn't so I didn't think much about it. When lunch time rolled around he still didn't eat. He then became very cranky and uninterested in the potty thing so I let my dad take him up for his nap. He normally goes down pretty easy but today he didn't. He said that his tummy hurt and couldn't get comfortable. He finally fell asleep but didn't stay asleep long. He moved all around and cried out a couple times then finally woke up. He was NOT himself. He cried and wanted to be held. Then all of a sudden he would be fine. Then minutes later he would say his tummy hurt, then drop to his knees and cry and move around trying to get comfortable. It was so sad. My parents wanted him to spend the night si
