… been a long night. A very long night.
Yesterday the baby got his booster shots… chickenpox & a few others… 5 of them in-fact. Needless to say, the baby isn’t feeling the best… and isn’t sleeping well. Philodoxdreams is working midnights so it’s just me and the boys all night… he was up about every 20 minutes till about 3am, from oh… about 11:00pm. So I sneak his next dose of fever control (blueberry, it smells good, he likes it too) into his bottle thinking i was being real smart… well turns out he didnt feel well enough to drink the bottle so he didn’t get any of the meds… I got about an hour of sleep and then got woke up to a baby with a 100+ temp, of course there isn’t any sleeping happening with that high of a temp, so I dose him up on the missed medication and turn about 5am hit him with the other one (you can alternate ibuprofen and acetaminophen every couple hours if they have a high fevor… basically ends up being they’re always about half way through one dose and just starting another… works well.) Finally he cools off enough that he can sleep at about 6:50am… and I start to relax a bit… then the alarm goes off that I set so I wouldn’t forget to wake the kidlet. Arrrgg… up again… so… very… sleepy. I feel bad for him, he’s gotta be miserable his nose is already snotty even :( Poor little guy… he’s gotta be tired too as long as he’s been up and how poorly he slept.
