oh. boy.

quentin has been quite a pain in the butt for the past 24 hours. i think his teeth are really hurting him so he is exceptionally crabby and screamy. he got up at 3 this morning. and i had hardly even gotten to sleep by then. i went to bed around 11 last night but couldn't fall asleep right away. then abby was panting like crazy and moving around the bedroom - keeping me awake. quentin started crying at 3 and i hoped he'd fall right back asleep but it became apparent that was not his plan. i got up to make sure he wasn't stuck on something in his crib and didn't have a fever or anything. he was fine, but he was wet so i changed him. he was gnawing on his hands like crazy so i put him back down in the crib while i went downstairs to get the tylenol and a bottle just in case. he was quiet when i got back upstairs so i crawled back to bed. but he started crying again just a few minutes later. so i gave him some tylenol and the bottle. after that he was happy, but wide awake. he wanted to jump and play but i didn't want him to get the idea that 4 a.m. is time for jumperoo so i just rocked him in the glider until he finally fell asleep again around 5. of course, i usually get up around 5:15. i managed to get about 20 minutes of sleep before it was time to get up and start the day for real. i was sooooo tired all day at work. now tonight he has screamed non-stop until just a few minutes ago when he fell asleep again. i have the worst headache ever. he is lucky he is so damn cute. can't wait until these teeth just come in already.
