Wednesdays are somewhat restless nights

Some nights are much shorter than others, or so they seem. Wednesday’s are hectic with my schedule. I generally get up at 4:45 am to go to the gym, and then it’s off to work for about 9 hours. Afterwards I pick up Wyatt, go home to hurry and eat before I go to school for 4 more hours. Then of course I have to come home and see who got voted off of American Idol. So I turn on the DVR for about an hour before hitting the pillow at about 10:30. That is late for me because I usually go to bed at 9 pm because I get up so early. Oh yeah the day/night isn’t over yet because for the past couple month’s Wyatt has been waking up at least once per night if not twice. We were so used to him not waking up at all. He used to sleep from about 9:30 pm until about 7:00 am. He has definitely kicked that habit and is waking up about every 3 or 4 hours. The only way to get him to fall back asleep is to give him a bottle. He will fall asleep in my arms if you don’t feed him but the second you put him back in his crib WAAAAAAWAAAAAWAA! Last night he woke up at about 2 am and I fed him. Then again about 4:30 but this time Kayla woke up to feed him to find that he and his sheets were soaked. Some how his diaper didn’t want to catch anything. Kayla ended up changing the crib sheets, the diaper and Wyatt’s pajamas. After all that he didn’t even finish his bottle.
We don’t know what the matter is. But we just take turns feeding and getting up with him and loving every second of it. At first we thought it was that he was teething but still no sign of them. Then we thought it was another ear infection but the pediatrician said it wasn’t but that his eczema was really bad. So then he went to the Allergy Doctor who said he is allergic to eggs, peanuts and soy. This doctor also said he has an ear infection. So we give him amoxicillin then the amoxicillin causes Thrush in his mouth and we have to start something for that. And above all that the Allergist says he needs to be bathed with mineral oil. CAUTION SLIPPERY WHEN WET! He can’t sit in his tub without slipping all around. It is actually quite funny. Anyway he still gets up but we just give him a bottle and sit with him in the chair until we both fall asleep. Some mornings I feel the lack of sleep more than others and today is one of those. Oh the joys of restless nights.
