I had planned to rest a little then come back last night. I just couldn’t do it. And it’s a good thing, too. I wound up in bed 8 pm last night. Yes, I even missed Grey’s Anatomy.
And even with going to bed that early, I didn’t get much sleep last night. I kept waking up to check on my son, who has a slight fever. Not that a small fever should be that big of a worry, but before he went to bed, he just wanted to lie down and cuddle. Which is so not like him.
So like any paranoid concerned mom, I wanted to check on him every so often. So in addition to his fever, he has this newish habit of making noise in his sleep. A LOT of noise. He’s not quite singing, not quite moaning. It’s just this ongoing uuhhhUHHHHHuuuuuUHUHuuu uuuuuhhhhhUHUHUHUUUUUHHHHHH up and down in volume. And accompanied by constant head turning. Back and forth. Back and forth. Against the side of the crib so it makes a banging noise.
Needless to say I didn’t get a lot of sleep with that racket combined with my brain being constantly “on call” to make sure he was okay.
Does it make me a bad mommy that I put my pillow over my head for a while? (Daddy was still right there, btw.)
Here’s hoping that tonight equals more rest. For all of us.
