What is in your cup? - Page 1690

ProfCrash · 06-19-2013, 01:53 PM

He is not pulling on his ears and there is no fever. We can't see any teeth coming in or feel anything. But who knows. Something is happening, his breathing is funky, he seems to be fine but I am freaked out. He sleeps flat. Well, his head is on the mattress and his butt elevated. It is very cute.

Billi · 06-19-2013, 03:15 PM

Would it help him (and you) when he sleeps one night or two together with you in your bed? Or is this not possible?

ProfCrash · 06-19-2013, 03:24 PM

He ends up sleeping with us. Well, he ends up sleeping on me. Not the best night sleep for me. That isn't awful but the ramp up to get there is. We don't want to co-sleep, we do it when necessary, but we strongly prefer he sleeps in his crib. Once a week isn't bad, three or four times a week is not good for my health. He will not sleep on his father.

Good luck with the little guy, ProfCrash.

Tea #2 standing by.

CRussel · 06-19-2013, 05:09 PM

Good luck with the little one, ProfCrash. I don't remember going through this, but then it was a LONG time ago and besides, it was the 60's. And you know what they say about the 60's -- "If you can remember them, you weren't in them."

A mug of Lung Ching Dragonwell. I've got 10 hours of work to squeeze into 4 hours. And not getting the answers in email I need.

ProfCrash · 06-19-2013, 05:45 PM

Lucas is fine, of course, just strong willed. So I need to be better about letting him cry it out. Ugggghhhhh

cromag · 06-19-2013, 07:27 PM

Mug o' tea #4.

alicepattinson · 06-19-2013, 07:53 PM

Slimming coffee in my cup right now. hahaha

You who are on the road
Must have a code that you can live by
And so become yourself
Because the past is just a good bye.

Teach your children well,
Their father's hell did slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picked, the one you'll know by.

Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you would cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.

Good (early) morning, everyone! I guess no one in the building is awake yet, 'cuz the Internet is actually moving. I'm typing as fast as I can to get all my work done before it all comes to a screeching slug-pace! I have Twinings' "English Breakfast" tea in my mug (can't wait for my boxes to arrive so I can drink really good tea again,) and another breakfast from the lady downstairs. Today it's 'pad grapow gai,' 'mu yauw,' and khow niow (Thai 'sticky rice.' ) Pretty healthy, low calorie, VERY spicy, extremely delicious, and ridiculously cheap! Another 65 cent breakfast.

I've contracted with another Internet provider for some better service. They will come tomorrow to do the installation of something. I signed up for the 13MPS service, but can upgrade that if it doesn't work well enough for streaming video. I'm ready. Just in the time it took to type this, there has been a significant slow-down in the internet speed.

Pulling on his ear was how I knew my son had an ear ache, too. Have you tried elevating the head of his bed? It does help some kids sleep, I've heard. Then again he may be just as you say and be very strong willed because he knows that you will give in at some point. I'm glad it isn't anything else. Good Luck.

Fresh coffee in my cup.

CRussel · 06-20-2013, 01:03 AM

Talisker. That kind of day. But better now.

ProfCrash · 06-20-2013, 03:33 AM

Oh he is just strong willed. He knows what he wants and how he has gotten it in the past. He doesn't do this at day care at nap time and lays fine on his cot. Off for a third trip to offer water, a song,a kiss, and let him know we hear him but he has to stay in his crib.

VydorScope · 06-20-2013, 06:52 AM

My son was the same way. I had to turn off the baby monitors and send his mom to bed cause she could not handle it. I would then camp out near his door so I could hear if something actually happened that need parental help, but for the most part I just let him cry himself a sleep.

Swaddling him helped a lot, for many many months.

ProfCrash · 06-20-2013, 07:35 AM

Lucas kicked off his swaddle by three months. Hated it. There are nights that getting him into footie pajamas is a bit of a fight. I went and checked on him at 10 minutes, 30 minutes, and 45 minutes then let him cry. I checked on him this morning and he had his funky, I have been crying for hours breathing going on. You know, that hitchy type breath that you get from time to time when you have been crying hard? He has the while sleeping. (sigh)

My parents get in on Tuesday, so I would like for him to get back into his old patterns by then which is why we started during the week. Last night was his first night without a bottle so that probably did not help things.

I am tired but I know that it will get better.

Puerh in my cup.

dreams · 06-20-2013, 11:02 AM

It will get better. The hard part is making it through without giving in and reinforcing the fact to Lucas that you do give in. Hang in there.

Coffee in my cup and I think this is going to be a "need two cups" to wake up day.
