Mommy is my SuperHero!!!
Well as you can tell by the title tonight, Ayden has been – well the polite word is restless… and we’ll leave it at that. We started feeding him at 6pm and off and on between burps and hiccups he drank.. and then he spaced out and we thought oooo he’s gonna sleep but then he’d flinch and wake up… so we started over, more food and burping… we passed off between each other so that not one of us had to take the whole brunt of his fury. However I will heartily admit that Lindsay really took most of the brunt of that… And to top it off she’s sick, on antibiotics with a nasal spray.
Well she managed to get Ayden rocked to sleep finally at 9pm. His room was dark and we both crept out – a sense of victory within us… we ly down in bed and watched the monitor – there he was sleeping peacefully. Ahhhh did the bed ever feel good… the cool Egyptian cotton 50 thread count sheets under a cozy duvet certainly was the perfect reward to a long day. But then… 11 minutes later.. his soother popped out.. and was shortly followed by the tidal crys of a restless little boy.
So it’s now 9:45pm – Ayden is eating “again” another 70mils – mom and I are dead tired… her throat is killing her and the little guy shows no sign of remorse… not sure what time I will end up getting to sleep tonight but I can say Mom is doing an awesome job of feeding him.
FYI – I washed all the bottles, and cleaned the kitchen, helped change him and spent time feeding him… so please don’t think I’m letting mom do it all. But she’s still my Hero!
