Sleep, How I Miss You

Well I think I have officially given up on every sleeping again. Last night was another long ans sleepless night with teething Dylan. Here is an account of last night’s teething troubles:

  • 8:00 p.m.-Bath-time for Dylan, and he didn’t take his little 15 minute nap afterward
  • 8:30 p.m.-Bath-time for Thade
  • 9:00 p.m.-Bed-time for Thade, but Dylan is screaming his little head off. This turns in to DVD time for Thade, and Mommy and Dylan make a trip downstairs for Rice Cereal and Baby Tylenol
  • 9:30 p.m.-Bed-time for Thade, and Mommy is getting pretty tired too
  • 9:30 p.m.-11:00 p.m.-Dylan is still up, and wow Mommy is getting so tired from the endless pacing, and walking around a very fussy baby
  • 11:00 p.m.-Dylan is up so maybe nursing him will help him to sleep
  • 11:30 p.m.-Dylan is still up, so we are off to the bathroom for some Baby Ora-jel and I hope that this will calm him down a bit
  • 12:00 a.m.-Finally Dylan is asleep, and I am too
  • 1:30 a.m.- Dylan is up and screaming at the top of his lungs, I try nursing him (not working), so it is another dose of Baby Tylenol, and he is back to sleep
  • 3:00 a.m.-Dylan is wide awake again, so again it is time to feed him
  • 5:30 a.m.-Dylan is wide awake and screaming, and Mommy is starting to lose her patience, he is acting hungry so one more time to nurse
  • 7:00 a.m.-Dylan is up, needs changed, is starving, and I’ve officially given up on ever sleeping again. I change the little guy, and we head downstairs for Rice Cereal and Coffee for me

James didn’t get much sleep either due to the grumpy little guy, so we are both wiped out today. Thade is still snoozing at the moment, lucky Thade 😉 I hope to find something that works for the teething woes, as Baby Tylenol, Baby Ibuprofen, and even Baby Ora-jel aren’t doing the job. I hope that he feels better soon, I know everybody in the house could use a long night’s rest.

  1. Bless your heart! Wish we lived closer, we’d leave the kiddos with their Daddy’s and go for a cup of java!

    You’re not alone. The boys are both still teething and now with viral infections. I have scented candles lit (and safely placed) all over the house. The runny diapers are so bad!!!! Hang in there I’ll be praying for you! And Dylan!

  2. Thanks Marva, I’ll have to take you up on that cup of coffee sometime 😉 I’m so sorry that both of your boys are feeling so sick. I know all about those runny diapers, Dylan was on his third change of clothes by 10:00 a.m. this morning, yuck 😉 I hope that your boys are feeling better soon, and big hugs too 🙂
