Owen seems to be having gas issues, poor little man is in obvious pain. I can hear the bubbles in his tummy. I went out and bought Colic Calm gripe water after reading and reading and reading tons of stuff online. I gave him a dose yesterday around 3...and he slept until 6:30! Holy jackpot! He was finally able to relax, rest, and umm...toot. I hadn't seen him sleep so deeply in days. Sadly, though I didn't get to take advantage of his long nap and take my own nap because we had guests over to watch football. (Obviously not my shindig) As much as I was dreading having a house full of people, it was nice to have a few hours of normalcy while Owen slept in his Granna's arms for his entire nap. I was only slightly jealous. (lie) I've never wanted to sleep so badly in my life. It's not that we don't get any sleep at all. We just only get 2-3 hours at a time. You know the feeling when you wake up and it feels like only milliseconds have passed...it's like that. So the sleep we are getting isn't restful.
I know, I know...everyone tells us, "it gets better". I know it will eventually. I don't know any kids or adults who wake up crying because they have gas. But, we're living it now! And right now, it kinda sucks. Owen is still a little miracle, and we still love him. We just don't like being awake at 12, 3, 4:30, 6...you get the idea.
Classroom check up: haven't talked to anyone at work yet, and I'm not even worried about it. I still don't want to go back. Not at all.
