Rough Week

This week has put me through the wringer. It has been difficult to say the least. On top of my lingering cold, Eli has issues himself. He currently is having bouts of constipation, a little cold, he had a fever for 24hrs, and he's teething. Poor little guy, no one deserves to go through all this in one week.

We have been stuck inside for the most part, not being able to see my friends and spend time with other adults is getting to me. We haven't been to our playgroup for over three weeks! I just hope that Eli is well enough so he has a good time at Sesame Street Live tomorrow. And that he gets well so we can make it to some play dates this week.

On top of not feeling well, Eli went from sleeping straight through the night for TWO WEEKS IN A ROW! To waking up every couple of hours! Last night was awful, come to think of it so was the night before. Every night this week actually! Last night he was up for over three hours. I try and try to get him to fall asleep. I offer him a drink, a snack, he ate a whole yogurt. We go from location to location, the couch, the rocking chair, the floor, my bed, the couch, the floor. The problem is when he has trouble sleeping, he tosses and turns and it's hard for him to struggle in my arms. That's why the floor normally works the best. I think he finally fell asleep at 3:00am and I had passed out too. When I woke up, I put him back in bed and looked at the clock, 4:30am! I hadn't even been to bed yet. Sighhhhhhhhhhhh
