Remember this post? Specifically paragraph 2, line 4. Well, I guess I should have stipulated that he's my imaginary dream baby usually, but definitely not when he's teething.
Our weekend was already planned to be hellish enough because we finally decided to paint our bedroom (vaulted ceilings, lots of windows/moldings, light paint over dark). Hellish. And annoying, and 3x as worse because we had to sleep with that mess. And 4x as worse because Jude's top molars decided to make their appearance this weekend as well!
When Jude teethes he goes on a hunger-strike, and a napping-strike, and wants to be held most the day. He grabs at his face with his little hands and it's the saddest thing. In between Dave and I painting and taking turns watching Jude, this weekend was...umm...what's the word? I'm so tired I can't even think. Oh yeah, it was exhausting!
Jude now has 12 teeth, and just how many more does he have to go?? If you said zero I'd love you forever.
On saturday, when I was about ready to pull my hair out, we took a drive up the canyon. We managed to get some fresh air, but if you're thinking Jude fell asleep in the car on those soft winding mountain roads you're dead wrong.
We came home, and hoped he'd be sleepy, but all he wanted to do was shove DVDs in Dave's face.
Don't be fooled by that smile...
But, I guess the weekend wasn't a total bust.
After all the drama on friday and saturday, we were thinking we'd only be able to stop by Cheryl's for a BBQ and then leave after like 15 minutes. But, wouldn't you know it--Jude was a total rock star champ! He just hung out, and let other people hold him and play with him, and I got to sit down and relax, and I felt like a purt near normal adult.
Guess my imaginary dream baby is back!
yay an update, i mean boo how sad! you can see Juju's pain in his face. Nothing worse- for mama and baby.
ReplyDeletebut his eyes look even bluer when he's so sad! bummer, tho. hope you gets plenty o' rest next weekend.
ReplyDeleteoh friend i hear ya! Mason is the WORST when he is teething...like want to pull my hair out cry, worst. I literally have to hold him all day...and I'm pretty sure he cries or wines all day as well! Darn those stinkin molars....wish babies came with their teeth already in!
ReplyDeleteBut then life would be to easy
Baby Jude is quite the stud muffin though...even if he's a cranky guy :(
