Logan...

I am getting so FRUSTRATED with Logan. I love him more then anything in the world, but I no longer know what to do with him!

He use to sleep 5-6 hours straight a night, and that was heavenly. Then he hit 3 1/2 months and he went back to every 3 hours. Now, he is waking up 1-2 times a night for at least 1 1/2 hrs at a time, and he still feeds every 3 hours! During the day I'm pooped from the night!
Did I mention the screaming phase that Logan has started? He needs something, he screams. There is no in between. Either he is happy, or screaming. I try to stay ahead of him and anticipate what he will need next. "OK he should be hungry soon". So I get a bottle ready. Sometimes I can keep the screaming to a minimal, but other times I feel like I have no clue what he wants! And he screams, and I want to crawl into a hole. Am I a horrible mother? Why do I feel like Im missing something so obvious??

He has become very fussy with his bottle and sleep. He'll eat 4 ounces. Refuse the bottle and start screaming. I try to burp him, bounce him and stand him up. Sometimes the distraction works. But then he starts screaming AGAIN! I try his bottle after about 20 minutes of this and he drinks like I've never feed him before! After 1 ounce, he stops again. We do it all over again! He drinks one more ounce and then klonks out for a nap. IF IM LUCKY! Sometimes he screams until he falls asleep. I know he's tired, his eyes wont stay open! I know he's full! I know he's clean! So he must need to sleep! and he screams!! I try rocking him, putting him into his swing, nothing helps! So by the end of the day Im SO FREAKIN TIRED!!!!!

Then repeat this cycle everyday. The end product if repeated in this order... is me.

a few things that come to my mind, he might have a sensitivity to the formula you are giving him, or he has acid reflux. hope things get better!!

Cam and I have told people more then once, "Carter is suspect Autism Spectrum Disorder". But after so many months of waiting, and having a specialist sit you down and say  "After observing you son, we firmly believe that he has Autism".   I now realize that I was not prepared to deal with the fact that Carter has Autisum.  I was, and still am, Devastated.  After the specialist told us of her conclusions she then asked , "Now after hearing that, how are you feeling? Are ok? Do you have questions? Can I help?" Honestly I thought I was fine. "We knew this was coming" I said. "I'm fine". Cams answer was the same. After she said "Yes, but sometimes having it confirmed makes it sink in, and you don't react how you thought you would". She was right. As soon as she said that I looked deeper and I knew I was ready to burst into tears. I wanted her out of my house and NOW. I knew Cam was dealing with his own feelings, so I h...

So i have been wanting to post all the projects i've been working on. But we are sick. Lovely flu. But the reason I am posting... Erica started rolling over yesterday! I could barley drag myself out of bed, but then i was greeted with this. She looks SO proud of herself when she does it too. Shes been trying since she was 2 months old. So I was wondering when she would get all the way. Shes 5 months in a week or so. She would only do it when you weren't looking. But now shes going crazy! She gets on her belly and tries to push with her feet. SO CUTE!!  She wont stay on her back anymore. Then when she rolls over she stares you down until you praise her. This is this morning. She is an old pro now.

What a HORRIBLE word. It is consuming. I wonder how many times that word runs through my head. I know at least once a day...... or twice.... or three or four or five..... ok ok 50! x 100.. anyways... On Saturday at work I helped this man. He didn't speak English well and I found him very frustrating. He thought it was $15 for EVERYTHING. Glasses, exam... everything.. He was suppose to go back in to see the doctor but walked out not realizing he wasn't done. (Were still talking about Fat hang in there). Last night he came back, and I avoided him like the plague. I could tell my co-worker was having a hard time with him too. Little did I realize why. Afterwards she told me that he was very confrontational and kept saying "Well the fat girl on Saturday said this". "But when I talked to the fat girl"......... over and over and over and over again. She asked me if I knew who helped him. Aren't I lucky? It was me. Nothing like hearing the thing you are mo...
