Well, the time has come for restless nights and cranky days!!
Alex started budding a tooth on Sunday and we were so excited to see it pop up. At this point it is nothing but a little white dot, but we know what it is!!
Surprisingly he is taking it well. Or at least better than what I though. Although we had a rough night last night. It's time to start going to bed when he goes to bed because I am one tired Mama today!
Alex's restless night started at around 11:30 PM. He started stirring and moving trying to find his pacifier in his crib. He babbled for a few seconds, and then got frustrated and started his screaming. Now at this point I had only been asleep maybe 45 minutes.
I got up, helped him find his pacifier, and then went back to sleep. From that point on he was up pretty much every hour. Some times he found his pacifier, other times he needed assistance. I could see him through the baby monitor pulling at his diaper so we did a 12:33 AM diaper change. He thought it was so nice to be held during the night! He was so happy, grabbing my face, and squealing with delight. He went to bed on his own until we hit the 2 o'clock hour.
At some point, I'm in a sleep daze and Alex ends up in my bed. I wake up probably no more than 45 minutes later and put him back into his crib!! He is once again asleep in his own crib when he starts babbling and screaming for his pacifier. I had already placed a few pacifiers in his crib hoping that he would find one and put it in his mouth by himself. No, Alex decides to get frustrated and throws them all out the crib!!
By 4:30 AM he is back into my bed, where he stayed until he woke up.
Throughout all of this, not once did I think about getting some baby orajel or baby tylenol to help soothe him... It wasn't until I spoke with some other moms today that I realized there is some relief!! I can tell you this... If we have a repeat of last night, we will be using some type of medication to help soothe both of us!!!
(Love my Baby Alex)
