This has been a hard week for me. I know, it's only Tuesday right? Well, it has still been a hard week. All two days of it. Usually the week flies by and I can't believe how fast the weekends come, which I love because it means Chase and I get to play with Tim for two full days. This week... not the case. It feels like it should at least be Friday by now.
I have been pretty cranky the last few days. Sometimes I wish I was still pregnant so I would at least have an excuse for irrational behavior. But then I remember actually being pregnant and change my mind. I am still determined that Chase will be an only child.
Besides for some dead fish, a bad nightmare (yes I am five years old and still get those), serious sleep deprivation, and 4 inches of snow to add to my crankiness, Chase has mysteriously turned into Mr. Crankypants as Tim terms it. Maybe we are just spoiled because Chase has been a little angel since he was born. But suddenly he is so fussy and needy. He hates being put down, even for a minute, and suddenly never seems to sleep. Chase has also learned to scream. Sometimes in delight (very cute), sometimes to get attention (he is such a faker, its ridiculous). Either way it leads to killer migraines.
Despite all of this, Chase is still incredibly good-tempered, which leads me to believe not that he has Multiple Personality Disorder, but that he's not feeling so hot this week. He doesn't have a temperature, but like I said, he has been really fussy (especially when eating), sucking on his fists, and drooling incessantly. We're not talking a little baby drool here, we're talking CUPS of drool. He even choked on his own drool in the store the other day. Which, leads me to believe that my poor child either has acid reflux (GERD), or is teething...
I know, too early for teething, right? I don't know, I swear I can see two little white bumps on his lower gums (for real). We're waiting for the pediatrician to get back with us, so that we can get this little guy checked out, and hopefully make him feel better. So yeah, I would say I'm starting to get a real taste of motherhood, and as much as I hate seeing Chase sad, and I hate being sleep deprived and snappy, when he smiles I kind of forget everything and just feel my heart jump for a second. I am amazed at how much I love this sweet child, and how seeing him laugh or smile can brighten my day.
Oh yeah, and today I ate 6 cookies to make myself feel better. So yeah, so much for being underweight. By the way, I didn't feel better after I ate them, I just felt guilty. Guess it's time to go run on the treadmill... And find a local meeting of Emotional Eaters Anonymous.
Hopefully next time I will be less cranky, as will Chase.
Until next time,
Katie

Ohhhh my poor KT! I tried to prepare you for motherhood, I suppose that you and beans did not spoil me enough though. I agree with you though, I wish that tomorrow was Saturday too! This week is going to be really long for me since it's the end of the term. My week started out with walking through a huge puddle and soaking my shoes on my way in to school, getting a 75 on a chem test that I studied hours for, coming home during second period and learning 3 of my favorite bosses from Dicks got arrested, and getting a killer headache! Anyway, I'm sorry Chase face isn't feeling well. He probably just misses me, so I guess Michele can't get married so I can move back sooner. It's all for the children, I have no personal interest in the matter. :) Anyway I love you KT! I am now going to watch videos of my cute nephew.
