The Crying Game
I jinxed myself this morning. I should have known that after Gabe had a phenomenally good night–slept from 11:30 to 4 and then 4:30 to 8. This let mommy get some actually sleep. I should have known that the rest of the day would not be as fun. He spent 90% of the day crying if someone wasn’t holding him. Even when someone was holding him, 50% of that time he cried. I tried changing him, feeding him, loving him, reading to him, etc. Nothing seemed to work. He would fall asleep for about 10-15 minutes and then wake up whining. When Andy got home, I handed Gabe off and went grocery shopping to get out of the house for an hour. When I got back, I think Andy understood why I was a bit frazzled when he got home. Andy only had to deal with it an hour and he seemed to be frustrated. Hopefully since he didn’t sleep much during the day, maybe he will have another good night. A new mommy can wish right?
