What a Week

As some of you may know Landon had a cold for the last week and a half and it got the better of me. He did pretty well mood wise for the first part of it, but towards the middle of it he took a turn for the worse. He would go through hours of screaming and refused to eat, and on top of it, he got his 2 month shots. He wasn't sleeping well because of his congestion and basically lived in his car seat so that the snot wouldn't run into his throat. I had a really hard time with it because he only really cried when he was hungry in the middle of the night and if I took too long to put him down for his naps. I was convinced that someone made off with Landon and replaced him with a little monster.
I had a mental breakdown in the pediatrics office the other day. I had tweeked my back trying to get him out of the car and couldn't really stand up straight so I had to hold him sitting down, which made him cry harder. I was shedding tears trying not to draw attention to myself, but with Landon crying it was like he turned on the neon sign saying 'Look at me!' . Everyone was staring and a man came up to me and asked if I needed help. I regret to say that I handed my child over to a complete stranger and just sobbed my eyes out. I don't say this to organize a pitty party, but just for my own sake to realize that these things don't last forever. While Landon was sick I decided to get Baby Wise with the money I got for my birthday and am doing a lot better sticking to a routine with him. Which I think has made him happy, which ultimately makes me happy as well. Plus, he is feeling better so I'm sure that helps a lot. Tony was really helpful during all this. He didn't complain that things didn't get done. I have the best husband ever.
