This would be the little boy who was up until 3 a.m. last night unable to sleep due to an ear infection.
This would be one brief moment this morning when I was able to put him down for a moment without having to hear him wail.
Otherwise, the day has been spent in the rocking chair where he will sit quietly or sleep in my arms.
This morning I spent an hour on the phone with my sister followed with an hour on the phone with my cousin. All while holding and rocking my baby. Thank goodness for telephones, dear friends and good conversation!
We’re off to see the doctor this afternoon. Joey is sleeping in his bed at the moment, but he may be summoning me any moment. Thanks, in part, to a loud big brother (who sleeps so soundly he missed out on all the crying last night).
And please forgive me, but three hours of sleep just doesn’t cut it. Off to make another cup of coffee…
((hugs)) to you and to Joey. Hope he’s feeling better soon!
