Will this EVER end!!
Well all was well this morning and Parker was playing and happy so things were looking up. I fed him solids (baby squash, baby applesauce and baby mixed grains) and he seemed to do just fine with it. Obviously something didn't settle right because about 15 minutes after feeding him he threw up all of his food! I shouldn't have been surprised but 7 days later I really thought he'd be over this or at least not STILL throwing up! The throwing up happened right after I had changed him into regular clothes for the day (of course it did!). I cleaned him up after he finished eating, changed his clothes and then asked him if he wanted to go play in the playroom. (when he does want to go play in the playroom he reaches for the playroom door and signs please) He didn't do anything and started acting tired and a little grumpy which at this point in the day usually means he wants to nurse. So I asked him if he wanted milk and he signed "milk please". So I got all ready to nurse him and he just lay there not attempting to nurse at all. So I sat him up in my lap and figured he had decided he really wasn't hungry afterall. He instantly sank into my arms and acted like he was going to fall asleep for a nap. A few seconds later I find my shirt (and his) drenched in vomit once again! He was so tired after this happened that as soon as he was done throwing up he just lay in my arms with his eyes closed! I couldn't leave him and myself soaked in vomit for his nap so I had to sit him up and change both him and myself. Did I mention that James went back to work today since Parker was seemingly better?? It is much easier to clean up vomit from yourself and your child when there are 2 people there to help instead of just the person covered in throw up and the baby equally covered in vomit! Anyway so I got both of us changed and sat down at the computer to check my e-mail, facebook, etc. Almost immediately after stting down at the computer, Parker had fallen asleep in my arms. He is actually still sleeping in my arms now at 12:30 and he fell asleep at 11:15 so he's already slept for an hour and 15 minutes! :) Unfortunately for me, my behind fell asleep about 45 minutes ago, I'm starting to get a leg cramp and I'm starving! Oh well...I don't dare try to put him in his crib and risk waking him up enough that he wouldn't be able to get back to sleep! Poor baby NEEDS his sleep much more than I need to be able to feel my behind or leg and certainly much more than I need to eat! Oh the joys of motherhood...
