A change in plans I guess
So I realized yesterday that the night before (Thurs) was my last sleeping with TC and I should have enjoyed the cuddling more. However....things change. Last night comes and I'm excited at the idea of sleeping alone (well, with C) except I decide I should spend my first night without the baby on the couch near his room so I can get to him faster when he's screaming to try and not wake AM up. C and I watch a movie...yes, a movie. AMAZING! We ended up getting HBO and Starz when we bundled our internet with our cable and phone, which is actually turning out to be way better than we thought. See, in the past 2 years we have watched like 2 movies. We even rented a movie a few weeks ago and had to return it the next day without watching even half of it. If we want to watch something that AM can't watch, we have to wait until bedtime, which then turns into too late for us (yes we are old) and we fall asleep during it. So with HBO, if we don't watch it, at least we didn't pay for it! And we watched a movie we have seen, but I love it and it's been a long time, so it was almost new again- The Departed. Ahhh, it was the reason Leo was the love of my life again...and so now, he is once again. Sorry honey. Anyway, we watched the whole movie, and just before the very end I stick little snuggly sleeping TC in his bed. I hear him snorting and grunting through the monitor and wait for the crying to begin. However, in the hour he stayed in his bed, I had to get him up 4 times. He slept great in between those times, but what kept waking him up was the spit up in the back of his throat/nose and he ends up struggling to breathe and swallow and I hate it! When he was first born we went through this a lot and it was really bad, he would start screaming and that in turn would make it worse. The only cure/help was to keep him upright when he eats and also for a long time afterwards. Which is what I would do while I slept with him. I thought maybe he was over this and I thought putting him flat in his crib so long after his bottle last night would be okay. I was wrong. (and no, he doesn't have acid reflux like AM did, so it's not the same) So, plans change. He laid in my arms sound asleep again and off we went to bed. I guess we'll wait a little bit and try again. I would have liked for him to be in his own bed, but I'll just have to enjoy a little more snuggle time.
