Pretty hard day

December 19th, 2011 at 04:32 am

It took us 3 hours to put baby down for his 2 naps, (and they lasted 50 minutes each). These are routine naps that he has every day, but it was so hard today. After an hour and a half of trying everything under the sun -- holding him, rocking him, stroking his back, his hair, I wanted to jump out of the window.

He came so close to falling asleep 3 times, but than at the last second he'd wake up, start crying, and stand up in the crib. Tired, stumbling, he'd still try to stand up...

So whole day was kind of broken up and tough. We didn't have a chance to eat breakfast until 1 p.m. and were even snapping at each other. (can't snap at baby, so it is directed to the next available person). But we got through it.

Started cooking supper at 9:30, after baby went to sleep. I made Ma Po tofu (tofu and ground beef sir-fried in spicy ma po cause over rice. DH also added some more Sichuanese peppercorns.

Just finished washing up the bottles. It is 11:30. Now I can relax a little, but 7 am have to be up. A lot to do at work tomorrow.

    I'm sorry to hear that. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day. My mom used to tell the story about how I would drink cold coffee from living room coffee cups. (it was a different time. Smile ) ... and I used to be hard to put down then too.

    Oh, I'm sorry you had such a rough day! Sometimes they're just fussy and not much seems to help. It's hard to deal with but it sounds as though you handled it pretty well. Smile
    Baselle, I drank cold coffee from living room cups, too. Wink

    My first thought, too, was teething. Or possibly coming down with something. I know a lot of babies don't like to lay down when their ears are starting to hurt or are congested as it makes things worse. Hope whatever it is passes soon.
