Hanging in there...

That is what we are doing. And barely.

It has been rough going thus far.
The nights are a little rough, without the extra set of hands to take some of the load. Derek's parents came over last night and that was a huge help.

Things start off great. The boy gets up, eats, plays a little, takes a nap and all is well. Then we eat again, and play again, and then someone (and it's not me) doesn't want to take any more naps. So, the rest of the day is a scream festival. Yesterday, I almost put him on ebay. Ok, not really, but I didn't know what to do. Hopefully, today will be better. He's napping now, so we're on our usual schedule. We'll see....

Anyhow, Mrs. Coach Matthews took this shot of the boy and me at the softball game on friday night. This was a pre-meltdown picture so everything appears just peachy. :)



That is all for now...

The No Cry Sleep Solution of The Fussy Baby Book. Can't remember who wrote the 1st one, but the 2nd is by Dr. William Sears. Sarah sleeps 12-13 hours at night and takes a 2 hour nap each day. I can't say the same for Ben, but it worked for her.

Oh yeah, you look really good. You don't even have black circles under your eyes.

Hmmm..must be something in the water, because I almost put my Benjamin on ebay last week, Thursday to be exact. :)
