Sleepy Ryan

IndyPRGirl

So for most of his life, Ryan has slept 16ish hours a day...today we've taken that to a whole new level.

Since he went down at 7pm last night, he has slept over 18 hours! He slept from 7p-9:30a, woke up for milk and a diaper change, was back to sleep by 10, woke up at 12:30, sorta picked at lunch but was falling asleep the whole time, and was back down by 2:15, and is still sleeping.

He's been fussy and not himself...and we had a pretty busy day yesterday, but he would have been in bed at five had we not kept him up. I know I should be enjoying the time, but goodness.

Also, we have had several instances of his face, around his mouth, turning blue. It happened once while we were in the hospital over labor day,but his oxygen never drops with it. Last night as we were changing him before bed, he was definitely blue again, but just acting like himself...not sure if that matters. Just waiting to hear back from his ped.

ETA: He is still taking 2-3 naps a day...I just can't keep him awake for longer than that.

I was okay with this post until you said his mouth turning blue - I dont know the back story on it but that blue mouth would scare me.   DS usually gets up at 6am and is down by 8/830am for nap.  He really can only go about about 2.5 hours between naps if we are at home.  If go out to run errands etc then he can last a bit longer.   This weekend was rare that he slept from about 630pm till 730am and then two 1.5-2 hour naps so right around 16 hours total of sleep.  Maybe he is teething or just catching up from a busy day.
