Tired Little Eyes

He doesn’t want to sleep. His poor little eyes, are very tired. They have little black bags around them. Why won’t he sleep? I rub my finger down his nose, he closes his eyes for a couple of seconds and then opens them back up and his arms wave about in the air. He needs sleep. I think, he thinks that he is missing out on the world. His tired little eyes looking back up to me.

He is not hungry. I tried to nurse him through his screaming, but he’d refuse. At one point it had been five hours since his last good nurse and I know he must be hungry, I tried to express milk into his mouth to see if he would drink it, but no he justs spits it out. He did have a short 30-minute nap which only happened once my mother took him. Nanny has the magic touch, apparently. Still not Hungry I ended up handing him over to Matt. He got him to sleep. Magic touch again? I just hope that he has a resting sleep. I don’t like the bags under his eye’s.

When he crys he has tears now. It makes me feel upset. My little boy crys tears. His cheeks are stained with tears. I wish I could read his mind, and know what makes him cry so much. I wish he could tell me what was worring him. He likes to be close. When I cuddle him, he snuggles over to my heart. To hear it beating. To hear everything that he knows and likes. Maybe he feels cheated by coming so early into this world. He must miss the warmth that my body gave him. My little man. Asleep on my shoulder. I don’t want to move him. I don’t want to wake him.

Awwww … you are such a wonderful Mom. 🙂

🙂

You are an amazing Mama. He is quite lucky.

*hugs*

Those cries are heart wrenching aren’t they? Baby Sarrah has had two nights of crying fits this week. I think both times it was because she was over stimulated and missed her naps. The second night of crying I was at my wits end. I ended up crawling into the bath tub with her. It worked like magic. (For a short time, after all, you can only stay in the bath for so long.) Just an idea.

You sound like a wonderful mommy. Congratulations on your joy, he’s beautiful. 🙂 *hugs*

Tristan wouldn’t ever calm down for me for the longest time, then it would be only me who was able to calm him down. It seems to go in spurts! You’ll feel awesome when Matt can’t do much but he stops instantly when you hold him:) I always do:)
