Noah's gums are at it again we think. Last night he kept waking up with that 'pain' cry. You know that loud shriek followed by silence because he ran out of air and is still screaming. We alternated getting up with him a couple of times and started the teething tablets/Motrin/Mylecon cycle to cover everything. Finally at 2 I told Jenna to go to bed and I'll stay up with him. The thing is if you held him vertically he was fine unless you moved of course. When he laid down he would scream. This makes me think ear infection or reflux but this is how he acted when he cut his first 2 teeth. Then at 4:15...that's AM...I tried the OriGel. Last time OriGel had no effect but this time it calmed him down bigtime. In fact he fell asleep at 4:30. I held him for about 30 minutes and then put him down with no fuss.
Needless to say the side effects of all his medicine and late night wakefulness is I'm having my 3rd Dr Pepper and am about to take my second dose of DayQuil to shake off the fatigue. When did I get so old I couldn't stay up til 5AM? I think a gene triggers when you are no longer single that anything past 11PM is vague and not worthy of consideration.
