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.
Hope the boy is feeling better and you have gotten some rest.
