It’s Blair versus the Six Week Growth Spurt. & I imagine this is what an exorcism feels like.
Quite punctual, that growth spurt. Unfortunately, it is the only thing polite in it’s characteristics. Gone is my sleeping through the night child, who eats well & smiles. Instead, I woke up this morning (after very little sleep last night) to a grumpy, screaming child. Diaper, bottle, fail to nap, then attempt to swing/bounce/rock/play. Rinse, repeat. For five hours. Sleeping? Be damned. Eat more than 2 oz per bottle? Forget about it. Screaming? It only bows to the hum of the vacuum.
We’re heading into hour number seven, if you’re only counting daylight hours. I am frazzled, dirty, exhausted, & two seconds from laughing from pure insanity.
But my floors are incredibly spotless. I invite you to come over & eat your turkey & dressing off them. & while your over here, maybe you can hold the inconsolable child while I go wash the formula-vomit out of my hair.
Aww, poor Harrison. & aww, poor Blair. I'm sorry your STTN baby has been abducted and replaced with Mr. Grumpy Pants
On the eating thing, he hasn't gained too much weight for his baby Zantac dosage, has he? It seems like he would eat MORE if he was growth-spurting… then again, my SD slept more when she was having a growth spurt. They're all different I suppose.Hang in there, it will get better!
Oye well, at least the consoling item is the vacuum and you've got clean floors. I'd love to have clean floors :SI've heard the hair dryer works wonders as well, but what the hell do I know, my babe is still in utero :S
I would gladly hold your screaming child, but I AM the marketing department right now.
I love how you write so cleverly while I'm sure you're not very awake
Have fun at thanksgiving 
I'm in Canada, so ours was a month ago. I wish it were here again! I love holidays.
Ahh the vacuum, I wish it fit in my purse.
