Still Standing

still standing, gagging, up early, work, stayed late, home @12am, spit up throughout the day, hates nuk brush, holding head up extra long

Susanne was starting to feel the effects of months of sleep deprivation, emotional exhaustion, and physical exhaustion. This cocktail was not a mixture she ever wanted to order again. It was amazing to her that she could still put her mind to pushing through the day and she always made it through.

Paxton woke his mommy up early in the morning with a gagging fit. She comforted him until he recovered. This time it seemed to take well over thirty minutes for him to completely settle. She was now running behind for work. In a perfect world, she should allot an additional hour for set backs. This was, of course, good in theory, but never even an option with the kind of schedule they already had.

Susanne was so excited when Moppy arrived to watch Paxton for the day. She was always such a tremendous help and made it easier for Susanne to get ready for work.

Moppy noticed that Paxton was spitting up a lot more during the daytime today. He seemed extra sensitive and he was definitely not interested in any oral motor therapy. He was not welcoming the Nuk brush with open arms and he made sure she knew it. He did seem to excel at holding his head up extra long. It was so nice to see his sweet baby face.

Susanne didn't get home until close to midnight. Susanne was informed that Paxton had been fighting to fall asleep for a few hours. Moppy was having a hard time getting Paxton to settle so Susanne gave it a try. Once her angel was off to sleep, she decided to unwind and get some much needed shut eye herself. It was a small miracle that she was still standing.
