Do you know how great it feels to be in the 150’s again?

I am hoping the gym is open at least part of the day on Sunday because Sundays are days I usually go to the gym. Even if I have to go in the morning. Although I hate doing it in the morning. I like to go about my day eat as I should and finish my day with a good sweat lol. I don’t know, it works better for me working out at night.

Anyways.

I had to take Noah to the doctors on Sunday morning. He was running a fever for a couple of days and by Saturday night it was up to 103 and same on Sunday morning. I knew he was teething and that his top two teeth are just about to make their appearance. I also knew that the last time his teeth were starting to come he had ear infection. Thankfully his doctors office is open for sick visits only on the weekend and I didn’t have to go sit in urgent care for hours. The verdict…double ear infection again!! Damn it. Luckily this is only the second time hes been sick (besides a cold) and its only come when his teeth are getting ready to push through. But it makes for a very fussy baby in the middle of the night.

Noah’s new baby sitter has been absolutely wonderful. She is great. He has other kids to play with, he goes outside to play (WHICH HE LOOOOOOOVES), he does crafts just like the big kids and has made me an Easter decoration, hes painted a bird feeder and painted me a picture. He no longer eats baby food and has very little bottles of formula during the day. Usually at nap times and at bed time. He’d rather eat like a big boy. Breakfast is a challenge for me. I tried waffles but he just picks them a part. I bought flavored ones so I don’t know if I need to buy plain ones. He likes dry fruit loops lol. But he cant just eat dry cereal can he? I’m doing to try pancakes. Maybe some french toast sticks (the plain ones). Hes not to crazy about eggs. He loves fruit. I have to share mine with him. I cut a plum in quarters and peal it for him and he sucks/chews away at it. Not to crazy about bananas though. LOVES strawberries.

Since being at the new baby sitters almost three weeks now Noah has become more vocal. She even mentioned it. He is more vocal than the almost 2 year old she watches, Nolan.

All in all hes doing great.

Night time is still an issue with me. I dont know if hes having separation anxiety in the middle of the night but like clock work he gets up at 12/1230 crying. He wont go back to sleep if I give him a bottle in his crib. But if I snuggle with him in bed he falls right back to sleep. Then he wines a few hours later ever hour or so until its time to get up. I know a lot of it has to do with those two teeth almost making their way here. I can see the gums starting to open. He has no problem falling asleep by himself. I don’t know. I always said I would never co-sleep. But here I am doing it in the middle of the night. I just cant wait for the day for Noah to sleep all night long. I’m exhausted.

I have to push my self to the gym at night to keep my sanity. To keep me going. To do something for me and only me for just an hour a few times a week.

I love my little boy to pieces but man I wish he would sleep all night.

Ok, I should get some work done.
