Worst Week Ever

D. — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 16:35:34 +0000

This has not been my daughter's week. This has quite possibly been her worst week ever. She was teething for several days. This left her irritable, unwilling to go a minute without being held, unwilling to eat any food, up at all hours crying and crying. Then, she caught a cold. Now, her nose is stuffed. There's mucus everywhere. She threw up this morning, because of the mucus (not that she cared). She can't sleep, because she's having trouble breathing easily through her clogged nostrils. Then, yesterday, while walking, almost running across the floor, she slammed face first into our dining room hutch. She cut her cheek, and now she has a big band-aid on her face.

I hope this is just a precursor to what should be the best week ever, next week, when she has Christmas. I'm crossing my fingers anyway. What more can go wrong, right?

Runny Nose, Teething, Face Wound...WORST WEEK EVER!!!

My Tired Brain Feels Like Mush

Oh the joys of teething. How I have missed thee.

Baby J. started teething again yesterday. She didn't want to be put down. She took forever to take a nap. Then, that night, she woke up every few minutes, bawling. I held her for a long time, hoping that would put her into a deep sleep. It didn't. She tossed and turned in my arms, slammed me in the face with her head, flopped around like a harpooned whale.

But this morning, it isn't all three of us that are tired. No, only Mommy and Daddy are tired. Baby J. looks completely rested. She won't stop running around the house. This isn't fair. I only got 1 hr of sleep last night. My head feels like it's going to cave in. I'm pretty sure my eyeballs turned to jelly around 4am. My face feels numb from being slammed by my baby's bowling ball for a head 200 times. Aching. Tired. Yawning. Am I coming down with somethiong? Is that a scratch in my throat? Maybe I should take a nap.

oh I can't. Because I have those stupid responsibility things like my job. Ug.

Too Tired to Blink

I'm exhausted this morning. My wife and I were stupid, and we stayed up until 1am. After the baby woke up and while my wife was giving her a bottle, I tried to sleep for a couple minutes before I had to get ready for work.

The baby wasn't having that. She got up, grabbed my head, and she kept yelling in my ear, "NA NA NA NA!" which is her equivalent of NO! She really doesn't like it when daddy is trying to get some sleep. I can't wait until she's older, and I can go into her room when she's too tired to get out of bed for school, and I can grab her by the head and yell "NA NA NA NA!"

Is it terrible I want revenge?

What? You want me to eat that?

One of my absolute favorite pictures of Baby J. from about two weeks ago. She was completely exhausted one morning during breakfast, and she was not in the mood to eat her banana. Click the image to see a larger view.
