Alert! OMG

Headaches, nausea, sleeping all day, hungry all the time...OMG...I just realized that I could be having babino #2, sooner than expected.

I don't know if I'm with child at least not yet...
That would involve pregnancy tests and I am so not ready to go there.

but I do know that...


Hayden is changing in many ways that make my head spin. I really have to at least try to keep up. And one of the changes I'm beginning to notice is his fascination with cars and trucks are dwindling and his love for building is well...building. His mega blocks are not a toy that is littering my living room daily, his mega block dump truck is what has been crashing into my leg unexpectedly, and his soft blocks are what he rips his toy box apart for.

He can still be found zooming cars about on my couches or removing Me from said couch so that he can race his cars. Actually he is behind me right now making zooming sounds, singing softly as he races his cars around my unmade bed.

In this house Mega Blocks rule!




In other news, my entire house has been sick with one thing or another. First Hayden got the sniffles, which turned into an infection. While we set to work fighting that with antibiotics, his cold relapsed with a nasty cough that started choking him at night. EEEK! Between taking care of him, pumping him with his inhaler at night to help him breathe, David got struck with a sore throat. That left Mommy to take care of her boys only thing that soon backfired. I got sick mildly with a common cold, Yay, (yeah, right). That caused my insomniac ways to catch up on me, I slept and slept and slept. Or should I say I wanted to sleep. Toddlers don't exactly always allow that to happen. I would get up to care for Hayden then I would be down away as soon as I could; usually when David got home.

This went on until today (oh I did sleep today LOTS because the toddler was a very sleepy little guy) but today I was determined to get something done. My house was in shambles. So I took pain meds for the headache that seemed to haunt me and an hour later, it kicked in enough for me clean a little. But poor David, I was a mega B* all day. I ranted, I raved, I slept, I ranted and I raved. But I do have a good defense my head felt like a log that a woodsman hit with an axe, and I decided that sleep was so important that I didn't need to eat until my stomach was screaming "FOOD, woman, FOOD."

Later I totally filled up with water, that did help too eventually. I snuggled up with David as an "I"m sorry" for all of 0.0 seconds before Hayden woke up from his nap so I decided that we all could snuggle together.

The House of the Living Dead!

David and I are both 150% sleep deprived. I have the worst case of insomnia ever. I have always been a night owl, clocking away in the night while everyone else in the world is snoozing. I always chalked it up to my fascination and liking for the night, it seems so mystical to me. Lately my bedtime has been OVER my limit at 4 am sometimes 5 am Not good in the least.
I have tried laying down, turning everything off, and the usually laying down and closing my eyes and nothing. The clock is ticking, my mind is shouting "I'm bored laying here! I'm overused pleased put me to bed." And the sad part is I'm tired, I know I am tired: I have become reduced to taking showers rather than my usual baths because I fall asleep fine in there, even in the car just not in my bed. And this makes the days murderous because Hayden is up now at 6-7am faithfully now that we have him in his bed on a routine.

David, this pass week, has been home a lot more and he has taken charge of Hayden's sleep situation. So now that Hayden has finally realized that sleeping through the night is not optional but a requirement, David has been taking in all the zzz's he can get. But alas with all the getting up early still he is still very much missing out on sleep. Today while watching T.V. he fell asleep twice. Poor guy doesn't know what sleep is.

On Monday I have a doctor's appointment, I'm definitely letting it be known that I have been having sleeping issues for over two weeks now. Yup, two weeks of being up all night and a zombie, praying for some shut-eye during the day. Luckily I have my Mom so close or else I would have either fell asleep watching Hayden or committed myself already. She has been so good at watching Hayden during the day so I can get some much-needed sleep.

While some days are harder than others, today did not end as bad as it started. And my did it start ugly. Hayden awoke at 6am ready for breakfast and some quality playing time with Mommy as usual, but neither Daddy nor Mom was willing to relinquish sleep. So I invited him into the bed and we fell asleep together for only a good hour, before Hayden awoke again, hungry and not willing to give. So after brow beating David to get up, I got some more sleep until nine almost ten but I was still very beat.

Later on during the day, I dropped Hayden off at my Mom's house, returned home for some more sleep. I was literally on my last leg: standing was painful and keeping my eyes open required so much effort. I was glad to hit the pillow for another two hours. Hopefully after Monday I can rise from the dead so I can get back into the groove of everything and feel so overwhelmed during the day.

*sigh*

Yesterday, Hayden cried enough tears to win an Oscar because he didn't want to take a nap. It took an hour to get him to sleep, and I was beyond done with patience. But at bedtime his Daddy took bedtime duties and had him out in 15 minutes without a whimper.


AAAAGGGHH!

Hayden is lucky he is so cute and cuddly,and beautiful when he's sleep.
