Big Baby

My poor wee laddie has his first cold.  Although he is 11 1/2 months old he seems to have skated by without so much as a sniffle let alone projectile vomiting.  But now that his first cold has surfaced he has the saddest faces.  Giant green booger bubbles expand out of his nostrils with no warning and I've been forced to used my sleeve once when I forgot to put tissues in the baby bag.  YUCK!  I forgot how disgusting babies can be, lol!  Riarson's sleep has been all out of whack as well and my moods have suffered greatly.  Grumpy Mommy is not a good thing.  I managed to grab a shower during his nap this afternoon to regain my composure and be reasonable.
Rinoa has been quite the handful lately.  I think it is due to the fact we have a Korean student staying with us.  I think the attention level just isn't where it needs to be and she is acting out.  Some days she can be so whiny when she comes back to school that I want to ship her right back out the door.  Other days she is very helpful and full of energy and beams sunshine and rainbows.  I can't keep up!  Once Carry leaves at the end of February I am hoping she returns to her normal self.


I can't turn my brain off lately...things just keep going around and around in there.  Maybe it is due to the lack of sleep I've been getting these last few days?  Doesn't help that I have been nauseous at night as well.  John's snoring almost caused me to ask for a divorce last night!  My mind was focusing on the most inane things...John's snoring (all 1 1/2 hrs of it), the sound of the fan (to drown out the snores), Riarson's movements (he kept kicking me), the fact I never get to keep blankets on during the night (the baby kicks them off), and the list goes on.  Hopefully I can get some better rest tonight.

 Lots of doctor appointments coming up.  We are seeing the specialist for Riarson since he is near the 2% mark for height and weight for his age.  Rinoa has a dentist appointment coming up that she is not looking forward to.  She has a wiggly tooth that just won't let go so we are going to get it pulled.  Her adult tooth has already arrived underneath the baby one so we need to get that taken care of.  Rinoa is working hard trying to get that tooth to come out on its own so it won't need to get pulled.  I get to see the doctor as well and John should be heading into the dentist in a few months for some work done.


 Time to start thinking about what to make for dinner.  Have a great day everyone!

    I didn't realize that you're co-sleeping with Riarson. I suppose if your breastfeeding it does make things easier though.

    I wouldn't count too much on things changeing with Rinoa's attitude...sounds just like Sarah and it's pretty typical puberty stuff to deal with mood swings. I fondly (at this point) remember her freaking out in full melodrama mode after work/school and then by bed time be coming back and apologizing.

      Yes he starts out in his crib and then usually around 4am he wakes up and comes in our bed. THis week we've been trying to put him back in his crib after he falls back asleep but sometimes that is difficult when we also fall asleep :)

      I don't really mean to complain so much about Rinoa since she is normally such a great kid, it just seems that since we have had Carry staying with us that her moods have been amplified (due to having an audience?). I am sure she will get back to her sweet self at the end of the month when we can have some one on one time.
