Teething

Ethan is teething.  He's had one tooth break through and another is on it's way. On top of that, we've both been sick the last few days so there hasn't been a lot of sleeping going on.  The poor little guy was really suffering on Friday night.  He woke up screaming every 2 hours or so.  Wayne tried to help, but all Ethan wanted was Mommy so I was on my own.  The only thing that would settle him was laying on my chest.  Once he fell asleep, I'd try to put him back in his crib, but most of the time he'd just start crying again.  Needless to say, it was a very long night.
Saturday, we both came down with Flu like symptom, but at least he slept more than he did the night before.  Being sick myself makes it a lot harder to cope with, but the thing about being a Mom is - you don't get sick days.  It's a more than a full time job, but the benefits make it all worth while.
Yesterday was definitely a tough day.  At one point I was so achy from the fever, I strapped him into his bouncy seat in front of his favorite baby Einstein DVD and took a 10 minute bath to try and feel better.  I felt like an awful parent even though I could hear him the whole time and he never cried.  He really is an easy baby with a great temperament.  Even when he's sick, he smiles an awful lot.  I'm feeling a lot better today and Ethan seems to be doing a bit better as well.
I did have more to say, but the timer for my dinner is going off and I've run out of time...
