Yeah, so I can't wait to get moved into our final destination home next week. I am so very sick and tired of moving from place to place, getting baby onto some semblance of a sleep schedule just to pick up and move again. Don't get me wrong, I loved visiting with everyone we got to see over the course of the last few months, but it can get pretty harry when you don't have a permanent home to come back to and you have a 6-month-old in tow. We ended up going to the urgent care today because the little one just wouldn't get happy. No doubt nothing was wrong except that he has crazy parents - one that didn't do well with the time-zone change from China (doesn't speed jet-lag recovery to have baby wake-up to feed right around the time you'd normally be having lunch) and the other who fully dreaded the return to the single-room hotel for another week and a half. The good ol' Doc said just to stick it out - grin and bear it - basically: "what'd you think would happen when you move across country and throw in a trip to Europe in there?"
In the meantime, anyone have tips on how to sleep in one room when one of your roommates likes to cry a lot? Perhaps some of you have had experiences like this while in college when there was a particularly harsh break-up occurring with one of your roommates? My son's break-up is with his cousins and his aunt, whom he got to meet for the first time last week. He enjoyed his time with them immensily, besides a high fever that knocked him out for a couple of days. For the majority of the visit, he would sit there calmly and watch his cousin color or play hunting on the computer, or giggle and smile when all three cousins came to greet him in the morning, or pat him on the head as a greeting when they came home from school. He was on his best behavior when we all went out hiking in the mountains and he got to see the changing leaves from his mommy's shoulders. His cousins seemed to like him, too, as one said that I could go home the next day, but not the baby, because he was "just too cute". Ha!
This mommy needs to get to bed now since I have another night and early morning to tackle with my little one. I would like to do it with a few minutes of sleep under my belt, perhaps accummulating into hours, if I'm lucky. :)
