Mr. Grouchy

Thanks for all of your sweet comments! Mason is SLOWLY on the mend. I say slowly, because he has a lot of things to recover from. His eyes are still red and a little puffy and giving his drops is NO FUN! The boy is so strong that even when Adam helps pin him down, he still wiggles himself around and moves his head back and forth. Luckily, he doesn't have the gook in his eyes anymore and he isn't rubbing them unless he is tired.

He is sleeping through the night, thank goodness! So that means that the pain in his ears is getting better. Unfortunately, he still has a very runny nose and a horrible cough from his upper respiratory infection. He will cough in his sleep and it just sounds so painful.

Even though he is starting to play and laugh again, he is still being Mr. Grouchy! I never really had to experience this before, because the only time he is grouchy is when he isn't feeling well. I miss the days when I could lay him in his crib and he would just lay down and go to sleep as I walked away. Now a days, I get tears and lots of them, until he cries himself to sleep. I'm sure this is normal, but this isn't really Mason's normal. I have been fortunate enough to have two really good nights of sleep. One day I will be all caught up on sleep, wait I don't think that is possible with kids.

Today I started to tackle Mason's closet. I have been very good about packing clothes and toys as he grows out of them. I needed to pull out the swing, bath tub, and everything that Taylor might be able to use so that I could make room in his closet. That led me to go through all of his clothes and decide what to give away. He has SO MANY CLOTHES, that even after packing two boxes full of just clothes to give away, I didn't make that much of a dent. I'm holding onto most of his stuff, in case we have another boy in the future.

It hit me today that I really need to start getting things ready for Taylor. Nesting much?!?!?! She only has a couple of outfits and I haven't even ordered any of her bedroom furniture yet. I realized that I need to order everything soon, because the furniture could take up to 8 weeks to arrive. I don't want to spend the last two weeks of my pregnancy getting her room situated. I will be way too tired for that.
