Poor, Little Baby!

Oh my goodness, just wanted to get a quick post in to say that I can't believe how quickly time is passing between my posts.  Things here are going well, just very, very busy!  I'm struggling to get the hang of the whole full-time working mom thing.  In the evenings after N goes to bed, I just want to relax and watch a little TV before collapsing into bed and doing it all over again the next day.  I'd really like to find more balance, but for now it's just not happening. 

This past weekend N seemed to be under the weather :(  On Friday evening he took a short nap and when he woke up it was clear he didn't feel well.  He was really congested and fussy.  It also seemed like his stomach was hurting him, which is the worst, because there's really nothing you can do about that.  It went on all evening and it was really difficult to get him to sleep.  We ended up just having him sleep in our bed all night because every time we tried to move him to put him in his crib he woke up and started crying.  The next morning he was better for an hour or two and then it got bad again.  My parents were visiting us this weekend, so at least I wasn't alone in the house with all the crying, since that's the worst feeling.  Saturday afternoon he had a pretty bad diaper and seemed to instantly feel better.  Poor little guy, it's just the worst feeling when you know they don't feel well and there's really nothing you can do about it.

Thankfully he's been back to his happy, little self ever since then!

  1. It is awful seeing your little one upset and uncomfortable, especially when you don't know how to help them. I'm glad he's bounced back to his happy self though! And don't worry about the balance thing, it definitely takes time and I don't know if working parents every find the real balance they are looking for. It will just get to a place where it's tolerable I think.

  2. Oh gosh, with C's bout of reflux issues I understand too well about seeing your little one hurting. It is the worst! I'm glad N is feeling better!! :)

    And I can't wait to read one day that you've found balance and then you can tell me how to as well! Maybe when they're in college ;)
