terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day

 Title:  terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day

I love my son. I really do. Most days I am so thankful for this amazing blessing, especially after the struggle with IF.

But today, was probably one of the worst days yet. I felt like he and I were both on an emotional roller coaster. I have no idea what was wrong. He was clingy and upset most of the day. I tried wearing, rocking, singing, dancing, pulling out new toys, and anything else that came to mind. 

It did not help that he was up from 3-5am, and I had very little sleep because I was trying to do homework. I just wanted to curl into a ball and cry. I wanted to call my advisor and tell her I was dropping out.  I questioned if I even need that stupid degree. 

6pm could not come soon enough. I hope this is the 6 month growth spurt, or teething. Because I could not chant "this too shall pass" often enough today.

Re: terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day

  • I'm so sorry. I went through a few of these a few months back and they are just soul crushingly exhausting. They always made me feel like a robot just running codes to resolve whatever was bothering the baby.

    So no fever, malaise, coughing etc? Provided illness is ruled out, I wonder if it isn't teething pain. Is your LO rosy cheeked, drooling and gnawing? If you are fairly certain LO isn't sick it might be worth giving him a dose of baby Tylenol.  

     If he continues to be inconsolable, might be worth a call to the pedi. 

    Again - so sorry you two are having such a rough time. 

  • Hugs. We all have these days. It'll be better tomorrow. I'm sure it was teething or something else these kids do to throw us off!
