spoke too soon

You know how sometimes you are pleasantly surprised about something but the moment you express it everything seems to go south? Yeah. Story of my life (ok, maybe not REALLY - just feels like it at times). Last few days have. been. miserable. Insane amounts of stress (granted some was self-induced). Daniel is NOT the happy camper I thought him to be. Nope. The more this little one learns to keep his eyes open, the more he likes to scream. And he goes STRAIGHT to screaming; no introductory whine or whimper here. Screaming is basically all he does when awake. LUCKILY he is still sleeping a majority of the day (and thankfully he still sleeps extremely well). So why the change? I am thinking it has something to do with nursing. Daniel still nurses like a champ. But mommy may not have recovered from the infection(s) as well as she thought. Just don't seem to be making enough for this forever-hungry child. The more his personality develops, the more he seems to be like Joel. Who was a very demanding baby. Yippee . . .

Oh Leigh....my heart goes out to you. Recovering from birth and trying to get by on little sleep and watching your other kids is stress enough without having to deal with an infection. You poor thing. I hope things get better for you soon. I am thinking of you!
