OK, I know I said I wasn't going to be as negative, and there is probably going to be some negativity in here-but, hey, last month was rough and I'm hoping things are just going to get better. Josh has been sick for the last month. (has it been a whole month? Yes, it started on Thanksgiving and it is now 2009) He has had two ear infections and a constant dripping from his nose (I'm hardly even thinking it is gross anymore) in addition to a weird puking incident. SO, although he is still our mild-mannered macho man, he has been extremely clingy. As in, let's go visit our relatives but I will have nothing to do with anyone but mama.
This has been bittersweet. On one hand I have devoured my hunk of burning love attached to me. But, on the other hand, I can't get ANYTHING done holding my baby. I think he's doing better--hopefully the second round of antibiotics has finally kicked this thing.
We may have turned a corner today. Maybe for a few reasons: Mommy took Mikayla to a play so he had some one-on-one time with daddy this morning. Then, when mommy came back, her back was out and she couldn't carry Josh around. And, daddy had some bonding time and cut Josh's hair (grrr!) Or, maybe it was Josh decided he was sick of all the mommy time and needed some male bonding. Whatever it is, he has been daddy's boy all day. Although I missed him, it was nice to have a little break.
Later: Josh woke up and was warm again. I held him until he fell asleep.
