He's changing...

I wouldn't say today was a bad day, just a very tiring day. I feel completely burnt out. Up until now, I've felt like I could really predict what the son wanted and needed at any time. He has changed today. He suddenly fusses and I can't figure out why. I think he's tired, but he doesn't want to sleep, even when rocking him for an hour, he will just cry and cry. He wants to nurse often, but not often enough to be considered a growth spurt I think. He calmed down tonight when I put him on the floor on his playmat to play. After he started fussing with that I decided it was time to get him ready for bed. I put him on the changing table and put the straps on him and sorted through all of his clothes so I would know exactly what he has and if I need anything soon. He was perfectly content that 1/2 hour just laying there on the changing table. I had him sit on the floor today and I swear he sat by himself for 5 whole seconds. He loves to smile and flirt with me in the morning, but by afternoon he fusses and I no longer can figure out what to really do, so I resort to nursing him. I'm just at a loss. I realize I'll figure it out again and once I do it will change again, but like I said, I'm burnt out.

Otherwise, we had a good day. I went to jazzercise this morning and the son managed to have everyone drooling over him. I hung out with a friend and her baby for about 3 hours in the afternoon, that was enjoyable. I have 4 things of diapers to return and I'm not really looking forward to it. I really hope they take them all back, because I'm not sure if 2 of the packages I got at Target. It's like 400 diapers I'm returning, yikes! He's just getting too big for the #1s, onto the 2s! Also, on a positive note, it has been 3 days in a row my son has slept 7 hours straight at night. I would not put money on it tonight that this is going to happen though. I'll be happy with the every 3 hours I used to get, if nothing else.

Tomorrow is a new day, new chances, new learning, more fun. Tomorrow I plan on going to a playgroup and a meeting for people that have their spouses deployed. I haven't been to that meeting before so I'm not sure how it will go. I hope it's not a pity party or anything, because that is the last thing I need. I better go make myself a sandwich so I can go to bed, I'm beat.
