Comeuppance

 So I read Ali's post about how happy she was that baby V slept from 9-530 (yay baby V!) for the first time and my first thought was baby A does that 6 nights out of 7. We do 9-530, then 6-9, the last hour in the big bed with me once Hubs gets up.... Because he is sucha good little sleeper, I have a bad habit of feeling extremely proud of my baby and basking in the jealousy of other moms. Serves me right. The last two nights Baby A has regressed to waking up 2-3 times instead of 1. I blame my smugness. Actually it could be a combination of several things.. But i know part of it is because i have a big head. Not because we upgraded his swaddle from the newborn to the bigger size since  his feet were getting cramped. This new swaddle is big. Which means it is impossible to get tight enough. So he can wiggle his little hands from their starting position down by his sides to elbows by his sides and fists under his chin. Which he can just happen to stick into his mouth. This wakes him up Every. Time. Every time. He doesn't know how to handle arm freedom so he wakes up and fusses until he gets baby-straight jacketed again. So this new swaddle plus three shots yesterday made for cranky baby, cranky mom and a generally tired house. Here I was feeling smugly well rested and now my child is paying me back in spades. Stupid pride!

 Shots yesterday as always hurt me more than him.  I had to hold his little arms down and then listen to him scream after the first one and know I couldn't pick him up for two more shots. Granted it was only 30 seconds of him crying but it felt like forever when I wasn't able to fix it right away. After shots and the doctors stern recommendation of an hour of tummy time a day for flat headedness we left. I fed the baby and we put in the ergo and walked to lunch. He spend the rest of the day cranky and wanting to be held and then followed it by a night of awareness and frustrating arm freedom. 

He is currently asleep on my chest while I lay on the bed (yay cuddle tummy time!) hubs is on his way home and I am glad it's the weekend! 

I'll do his three month stats later :)

And there he is in a picnic basket before i packed it for Friday Lunch Date with daddy :)!
