I am up to my ears in screaming baby. He won't sleep in his crib past 2 am and I can't go to bed until about 11:30 pm. So that equals about 2 hours of uninterrupted sleep. Then we bed-share. So K gets space priority, then R takes up the rest of the space. Usually I end up with my head about halfway down the bed. Not comfortable. So at 2am, K sucks down about 5 oz. He wakes up every hour between 2-5 or 6 just to fuss. He starts fussing, I groan, get up, and start walking to the living room to finish out my night on the couch. Half-way to the couch? He falls back to sleep. I make my way back to bed. He starts fussing, rolls onto his belly, and takes up even more space. I hate sleeping because I am not getting actual rest. I miss dreaming, feeling renewed, and actually not falling asleep while playing with K. Most of all? I miss my bed.
You may ask why it seems like R doesn't help. Well R works at least 12 hours a day on his feet. That is completely exhausting, I used to do it. So I do all night wakings unless K wakes before R goes to bed. My reasoning behind this is I can nap through-out the day if I need it. On R's days off, he sleeps in, but then he lets me nap. Its been working for us and that's all that matters. The past couple of days have been hard though!
Yesterday was K's 4-month well baby check-up. He is 13 lb 15.28 oz. So safe to say, 14 lbs! Yay! He is 25 in long. He got shots and has been a screaming mess since the shots.
We also have to go to the pediatric dermatologist. K has really bad eczema and has a wart on his arm. Its incredibly unusual for a baby this young. They think its Molluscum. I'll keep everyone updated!
