Sleep is for the weak

If that is true and sleep is for the weak, I must be Hercules. I'm not saying this to complain, just to share my night with all of you. Finn did not sleep last night. When I say that, I don't mean, he didn't sleep very much...I mean AT ALL! Maybe he was missing daddy? I finally brought him into my bed around 2am because I was getting up every 15 minutes to put his pacifier back in and listening to him for five minutes before getting up each time! I was able to get some sleep between 4am and 6am but that was about it. Not sure what was wrong, but he was grunting a lot and moving his body around. That usually means he has gas or needs to poop (or both!). He hasn't pooped today but has lots of toots. I drugged him up with everything we have at 9am, so he should be good to go for a while!

I also suctioned his nose out when we got up. He always sounds stuffy and congested, so I don't usually pay attention to it. But I noticed a little accumulation in his nose, so thought I'd try to get it out. Well, there was more in there than I thought and I was actually able to get a lot out with the bulb suction. Usually we aren't successful when we use it, so that was good. He HATED it (as I'm sure most babies do) but seems much calmer afterward. So, maybe he was having a little problem breathing last night or maybe he just finally wore himself out...not sure. He is sitting in his bouncy seat right now just staring up at the ceiling (with no pacifier), but I think trying not to go to sleep. Little bugger.

We have Preemie class tonight. I have no idea what it is, but I called about taking an Infant Massage class and through talking with the lady, she suggested I go to this class, too. It is every Thursday night from 6-7:30 and is located over by Children's (or at least in that direction). Hopefully Finn is feeling better and I've been able to get a nap in...or I might have to wait until next week!
