One down.....

11 to go!! Can you believe it? I've made it an entire month of blogging every day! Wowzers. Not only am I shocked that I've done it, I'm shocked that you guys want to come on here and read about me and Eddie every day. Thanks for the support :)


In other news, Eddie is feeling rather bum-ish lately. He has somewhere in the range of 6 teeth trying to come thru at once (including 2 bottom molars) and they're really starting to make our lives difficult around here. Last night he woke up after an hour of sleep and was obviously in pain. Once I picked him up, he wouldn't let me put him down. He was hysterical in my arms, but calmed once I started rocking him in the glider. He finally fell back asleep, but as I went to put him in his crib, he clung on to me death-grip style and started to cry again.

ooookaaaayyy.

Back into the glider we went. But let me tell you...my glider is comfy. Having a totally relaxed baby sleeping on you makes you want to sleep. Afraid I was going to drop him if we slept in the glider (hellooooo flash back to new mom fears!) I took him into bed with me.
Now, incase there are any new readers out there - we were a co-sleeping bed-sharing cuddle loving family. I miss sleeping with my boy. I miss the cuddles and being able to watch him breathe in the night. I miss everything about it.

Well...I should make that past tense. I missED everything about it. Because, did you know?

A SLEEPING TODDLER IS COMPRABLE TO A FLOPPY, FLOPPY FISH. A floppy fish that likes to kick. And sleep on his tummy. No, his side! No, his back! No...on top of mommy! (Not going to lie, that one was pretty cute) He also went from my pillow to daddy's pillow to his own pillow to no pillow. This resulted in very little sleep for me. Mainly because I was worried that he wasn't actually sleeping, but I am pretty sure he was. Then when he was finally still, I obsessed with watching him breathe. (Again....hello to that new mom feeling!!)

Meanwhile Hubby slept on the couch. When I told him that I was bringing Eddie into bed with me, he freaked. He was all "He can't sleep in bed with us!!" to which I rolled my eyes. Hello! He slept with us for 7 months, everyday! Every nap! He can sleep with mommy for a night. Not that we even made it the whole night. By 1 or 2 am...really, I can't even remember....I put Eddie back in his crib, got Hubby from the couch and went back into bed thankful that I didn't have a floppy fish rolling around anymore. Instead, I had a snoring bear :)

Come to think of it....I should have just let Hubs be and enjoy a bed to myself!

Eddie woke up today in a off mood...not really into eating a lot, not really into playing and mostly in love with snuggling. We went to Nanna and Granpa's house and then to the Curious George Live show (cute! I'll post pictures later) and that seemed to cheer him up a bit. Some tylenol when we got home seemed to help, too. I am really, really hoping not to repeat last night. I already plan on skipping swimming lessons tomorrow unless Eddie wakes up a new baby, but I don't really expect it. All I can hope for now is a peaceful nights sleep, but I don't really expect that either. I would really, really like to be wrong in both of these instances.
