So What Wednesday

 


So what if it my son has been a giant crap head this week. 

Seriously.

This kid has been possessed.  He has been whiny and clingy and inconsolable.  He has fought bed time every single night for the past three nights and has been waking 2-3 times each night and refuses to go back to sleep easily.

He seems to want me to hold him at all times but even that doesn't seem to calm him at all.  He just whines and cries most of the time.

He does have a cold that has left him with a terrible, rattling cough, but he's had it before and he was not nearly as miserable.  He also has had a low grade fever (99.1 at last temp check) which hardly even qualifies as a fever.  I've been pumping him full of Tylenol which seems to help a little bit but not much.

I can deal with the whining and complaining and even the clinginess.  But the not sleeping through the night?  I can't deal with that shit.  Last night the only way he would sleep was on me.  I'm not big on co-sleeping so it's been hard for me to let him in the bed but it's about the only way he will sleep right now.

I'm really hoping that it's from the cold and that it passes quickly because Momma's about to lose her shit.  I don't know how you moms with clinger babies do it but I want my independent, happy little man back.

    We just had an AWFUL two weeks of this. Emily was teething SO bad and woke up every 2-3 hours at night. She went from being a great sleeper to being up from 10pm to 2am 4 nights in a row!!!! Awake and just crying. I took her to the doctor because surely something had to be wrong. Nope. As soon as her teeth came in the long wake times stopped. The crying stopped. However now that she's gotten used to waking up every few hours at night she is still doing it!!! I need sleep. I need a LOT of sleep! I hope she returns to normal soon. I hope your son does too!!!

    This sounds like Dylan on Memorial day weekend! He kind of had a cold and he was teething so I thought the possession was fueled by the combo but now looking back I think the cold was just part of the teething. Really, NOTHING helped. Everything pisses them off, hold them don’t hold them, feed them don’t feed them, so needy and so crazy. I hope it passes soon because it’s hard on everyone. When baby suffers, everyone suffers! They make sure of that. lol Dylan is back to normal (actually he’s even better) so there’s hope!! I miss you and get so happy when you post. <3

Blog Commenting Challenge!

Linking up with Jenna's Journey  for the 3rd Annual Blog Commenting Challenge! Hi! I'm Vanessa! I live with my husband Bryan and my amazing 6 month old Ashlyn in Pennsylvania. I was born and raised here and love it very much! We have 2 pugs, Katie and Utley, one black lab, Camo and one cat, Joey. Our second cat, Kitty, is sadly recently deceased (on Father's Day). I work full time as a Marketing Analyst for a supply chain consulting firm. I don't even know what that means really! I have been here for 3 years and am thinking about a career change. SAHM is looking better and better. My husband owns his own landscaping business which has been both wonderful and horrible at the same time! My husband and I know each other for about 17 years now and we have been together for 12. We got married in September of 2010, just 2 weeks shy of our 10th anniversary! We got pregnant after only 2 months of trying and last December we were greeted by Ashlyn Marie Miller,

I'm Not Gonna Lie

Anyone who knows me know that I LOVE Christmas.  I love the decorations.  I love to decorate my own house and see all of the other cool decorations other people have.  There is a house down the street from us that always has more lights and decorations than I have ever seen in one yard.  It's a bit much but it's an attention grabber. I love the Christmas tree.  I love to get the tree out each year (yes we have a fake because I can't stand the needles) and I love to decorate it.  Growing up, our family would decorate the tree together with all kinds of ornaments that we had collected over the years.  I like to do themes for my trees.  Last year I did pink and silver in honor of the newest member of our family.  I'm really hoping to instill the tradition of decorating the tree with my kids. I love finding the perfect gifts for people and I love to watch their reactions when they open those gifts.  I generally wait until I have purchased ALL of my gifts, I sort them

Big News!

We have been trying very hard to keep this to ourselves for just a little while longer but I can't wait anymore!    Baby Miller #2...due 09/01/13!!!!!!!!! I am 8 weeks and 1 day I have known since Christmas Eve I am much more tired and much more nauseous this time around I haven't gained a single pound yet, unlike last time I am not so secretly hoping it's another girl If this one is anything like Baby Girl, he or she will be born mid-August I've been leaving hints all over the place but no one noticed! I am so excited!   I've already had one doctor's appointment but I was only 7 weeks so there wasn't much to do.  We couldn't hear the heartbeat or anything so the next appointment will be much more exciting!  My next appointment isn't until February 11th so that's when I'll get to hear and possibly see my next little monster!  So exciting!   PS:  Notice the blog title?!
