Mothers Day Eve - (the day of a 1st time mom)

I remember wanting children so badly and when Mothers Day would come around – I would find myself tearing up and feeling like there was something missing.  So – I have been gearing myself up for tomorrow needless to say.  I don’t know what tomorrow will be like – but I know what I don’t want tomorrow to be like, the way it was TODAY.  Here’s a run down:

 

Middle of the night:  Rob has a cold so he was up a lot coughing, blowing his nose, snoring and just trying to deal with sinus “stuff”.  This means – I did not get much sleep.

7am: Rob is snoring (of course) and Jonah wakes up.  He’s playful and in a good mood.

7:15am: Give Jonah a bottle, change his pants and get him ready for the day.  Then come in the living room and play!

8:30am: Breakfast.  I make Jonah a pancake and cut up fresh fruit.  He won’t eat any of the fruit, Rob is getting frustrated with him – tensions are high.

8:45am: Jonah is screaming – he has a meltdown, so breakfast is over (too bad I wasn’t done eating – oh well)

9am: I put him down for a nap (Rob goes down too)

11am: Jonah wakes up – he’s in a relatively good mood.

11:45am: Lunch – I make him a sandwich with the fruit he didn’t eat at breakfast and some green beans.  He only eats the banana and won’t really eat the sandwich

12:00pm:  Jonah is screaming – another meltdown, he wouldn’t eat anything and is just screaming and pulling his ears

12:25pm:  We are off to the medical center for the Walk In Clinic.  Jonah hasn’t really stopped crying and is not doing well – something is wrong.  Ear Infection

1pm:  Home – no ear infection, Dr. says he’s teething.  Rob puts him down for a nap

2pm: Jonah wakes up screaming and won’t stop crying.  Rob comforts him, doesn’t work.  I go in and he falls asleep on me for 20min – but just keeps waking up and crying.

2:45pm: Jonah comes out to the living room (won’t stop crying).  I make him a bottle and he drinks a little bit and starts screaming again.

3pm: Jonah falls asleep on Rob and is finally calmed down.

4:30pm: Wakes up (Jonah, Rob and myself) and even though I try playing with him he just keeps crying

5pm: Dinner…. This time we’re just having cheerios, goldfish and some pancake.

5:30pm:  HAPPINESS  Lots of playing, crawling and everything is right again

7:30PM: Bedtime – drinks almost all of bottle and goes down great

8:30pm:  WAKES UP SCREAMING again.  

 

That’s been the day so far. 

 

I hope tomorrow is better.  Someday I’ll get a macaroni necklace for this!!!!
