When baby ain't happy, ain't nobody happy

For the past 2 weeks, Alex has had diarrhea. It started 2 Fridays ago. I called the dr. office and they said to have him come in on Monday for stool cultures. This morning he had a regular bm. So I guess I'll wait and see on Monday if diarrhea starts and then I'll call back.

Last night Alex woke up very often. Patrick took care of a few wake ups before 11pm. At 11pm I got up and Alex was burning up. I took his temperature and he had a 101.4 fever, which the dr. says is an uncomfortable fever but not one to worry about. So I gave him Tylenol and he was up a few more times in the night with gas and such. At 530am, bright and early, he was up. He still had a fever of 101.4 so I gave him more Tylenol. I'm so tired...I just want to sleep in.

Patrick was up with him yesterday from 4am until 530am when he had to wake me. We had to tag-team on a diarrhea diaper....this involved the shower head and a bath, oh, and a stripping of his bed. Since Patrick did yesterday I have today :( How much are live-in nannies? j/k

I love the time I can spend holding him since I am back at work. When Alex gets home from daycare he has about 2-3 hours and then he's asleep. So I love the weekends even though I can't sleep in.
