Terrible…

Yesterday was that is.  Derek has been sleeping through the night, usually from about 9 or 10 to about 6 in the morning.  No waking up unless he has gone to bed early.  Night before last he was up every two hours.  Basically no sleep for me.  Then yesterday he screamed/cried/whined all day.  No naps, didn’t want to eat, he would fall asleep nursing, I would take him up to his crib and he would still be asleep then as soon as I would lay him down he would be screaming.  He ended up going to bed at 8 pm and getting up at 4 this morning.  Still 8 hours but I couldn’t get to sleep till midnight so that wasn’t very good.

This morning has been more of the same.  Crying/screaming/whining all morning, is exhausted (rubbing his eyes, yawning, laying his head down wherever he is) but as soon as I put him in his crib he is screaming.  Like he is doing now.  I hate hearing him do it but since there is a chance that he will fall asleep in his crib, he won’t when he is down stairs, I think I’m going to leave him in his crib for a little while longer.  Maybe the tylenol I gave him 30 minutes ago will kick in and whatever is bothering him will go away.

It’s going to be another long day.

In other news the 4th should be good.  Bishop gets the day off and we are going to BBQ at a friend’s house and maybe go see the town’s firework display.  That one is a we’ll see situation, it depends on how Derek is feeling/acting.  We may end up coming home right after eating.

I really need to do some stuff around here, like clean up the kitchen and my desk.  They both have gotten out of hand but I just don’t have the energy to do it.  At least I put the first load of dishes in the dishwasher, that’s something, right?  I think I’ll try and work on the desk now.
