It Figures

I should have known that things would change as soon as I mentioned how well John was sleeping.  Wednesday night he didn't fuss much, but he did wake up every 2-2.5 hours compared to every 4 hours of the previous days.  And during the day, he wanted to be fed every 1.5-2 hours.  He also wanted to be held or wanted me within sight the remainder of the time.  It just made for a long day since I couldn't get much done.  

I eagerly awaited Matt getting home... but unfortunately, he wasn't able to help.  Matt had spent the morning working with a coworker.  The same coworker was diagnosed with whooping cough at her MD appointment that afternoon.  YAY (oozing sarcasm)!  Our pediatrician recommended contacting our PCP for a prophylactic dose of antibiotics and no contact with John until 12 hours after starting the ABX (There appears to be a small whooping cough outbreak in NTX).  Needless to say, everyone in the office with young children at home was concerned.

But then last night, John surprised me.  I had to look at the clock twice to realize that he has slept 5 hours!!!  Yes, we had 5 glorious hours of sleep.  He was in a much better mood today.  His reflux also appears a little better.  Other than a big scary episode in the middle of the night, he has only had a few "regular" issues.

We spent most of the day playing and entertaining ourselves.  John is getting so strong.  And he is pretty stubborn.  He refuses to let me hold his head while I burp him.  He insists on looking around, moving his head whichever way he pleases.
