Dad to the Rescue

Luke has been going in and out of a good sleep pattern for a few weeks.  One night he'll sleep from 7:30 pm until 5:00 am.  The next night, he'll wake up 2 or 3 times.  Sometimes we can get him back down with a paci and a pat to his bottom.  Other times he needs a bottle - but only drinks about 2 oz before he's completely out again.

Last night, he woke at 11:45 pm and had about 3 oz before going back to bed.  He woke up again at 3:15 am so I brought him into bed.  He was so fitful - tried nursing but didn't really want it.  Tried the paci but he didn't want that either.  His head was sweaty and clammy; he kept kicking and moving his arms all over the place.  We finally got up at 5:15.

He seemed happy for a bit but by 6:45 he was CRANKY.  Seemed hungry but kept putting his fingers in his mouth at the same time as the bottle.  Didn't work so well.  I took his temp but it was normal.  Daddy decided to take a 1/2 day to stay home with him.  It just didn't seem right to take him to the nanny when he obviously wasn't himself.

At 8:15 I got this picture:

This is Bubba after he pooped through his onesie.  This is the THIRD time this weekend that Dad has had clean him up after a major blowout.

Luckily, Dad said he seemed much happier so hopefully he just had a belly-ache and he'll be back to normal soon.

Thank goodness for Dad...Luke's a lucky little man.

Love
Mama
