So I’m sure you’ve noticed there have been no posts the last few days… Sorry about that! Truth is, the Bug was teething and it was a seriously rough week! He got the first tooth with a little discomfort and fussiness, but the second is where it got crazy. That stubborn little tooth caused crankiness (which my little Bug rarely has), clear snotty mucous (I know that’s TMI but it had to be said), and sleepless nights (he’s slept 8-9 hours straight since he was 2 months old so this is not fun).
Anyway, the second tooth caused a slight infection in his nose so my husband and I took him to the Doctor. We love our doctor, he’s amazing, makes you feel like a person with real legit concerns not just another parent they want to roll their eyes at (like our last). I must have called 25 times that week and talked to the receptionist/nurse. Poor thing I think I was totally bugging her, best part? She would never say that, she’s the sweetest ever!
All this to say– The Bug is all better! Praise God! Well, kinda, he’s got a baby bloody nose today, it’s from all the clear-turned-green-for-two-days-snot and me doing saline drops and the nose sucker (he hates that, poor baby).
So, today is nothing short of a Monotonous Monday, back to normalcy! The Bug was up once last night but nothing terrible, nothing Earth shattering. I can handle him waking up once as long as he goes back to sleep quickly. It was the waking up every hour screaming bloody murder that pulled me out of the deepest just-got-back-to-sleep-ness that really got my heart pumping… I felt like I was experiencing what firemen go through. They get woken up by lights, alarms, and have to quickly respond… I had to do the same.
I had my bachelorette party at a firehouse before I got married! The firemen of that firehouse are wonderful, manly-yet-super-sweet guys that made us dinner and dessert of my choice and gave us a tour of their firehouse. We had tournout races (racing to put on their gear, I won over my sister!). They showed us their sleeping quarters and how they are awakened when I call comes in, thankfully none happened while we were there!
But I digress! Monotonous Monday is my new Monday posting! Today is monotonous in a good way, we’re getting back to a normal routine, a calm baby, a happy silly Bug!
Bisoux
