| That's my normally happy guy. |
I love my son, but this week has not been fun. He has just been "off." He is usually a pretty happy and smiley baby, but this week, has been a lot of whining and clinginess because he hasn't been feeling well. I do have sympathy for him. I do feel bad for the little guy. I do wish I could do more to make him feel comfortable. But at the end of the day when you have a cranky baby, you are cranky too.
It is hard every time I think things might be getting better, there he is whining and being unhappy again. I tried so many things, but the reality is that I just have to wait it out. I have done all that I can do and I just have to be patient. (At least, that is what I keep telling myself.)
Patience is a virtue. But I do have to admit the way I stay patient with Calan is to take a little out on Bob. I can't get frustrated with Calan, so Bob tends to get the blunt of the situation. I do apologize to him after I do it, and I do try not to do it. As a first-time mom, it is hard to know all the little tricks to get through the cranky days. I guess it is just one of the misfortunes of being the first born.
I am just praying that next week is better and he is feeling and acting like himself again. I miss my little guy.
I can totally relate - I get very snippy with my husband when our daughter is uber cranky. I always feel bad after the fact, but it can be super frustrating, and I imagine that feeling is more frequent for you since you get to stay at home with Calan. There have been a handful of times where I was actually relieved to go to work, just for the fact that Elle and I could have some time apart to recover :) I hope that Calan returns to his happy self ASAP!
