Sleepless nights

Judging by the title of this entry, you probably expected to hear about a baby that's waking me up all night, etc... well, that was the case last night, but not tonight... Last night CJ woke about every 3 hours crying in pain and just wanting mommy to hold him & let him chew on my fingers, which of course I did. Then finally @4am I decided to give him some infant tylenol (as the teething tabs have been recalled, never got to try them), and finally he slept for a good 4 hours before waking up for the day. He also was too cranky to nap well today, and again, just wanted me to hold him and let him chew on my fingers...

After reading all of that, you're probably thinking: "gee, you must be tired...". Yes, I am. However, I have developed some kind of Mommy-insomnia or something. I get in bed and just think and think and think... and then every noise I hear worries me, and every sound CJ makes worries me, and I start thinking: "I better not fall asleep, because as soon as I do, he'll need me..." Which is NEVER the case... And I've been having pretty severe back and neck pain, which keeps me awake too, even after stretching. Experienced mommies of the world, is this normal? AND: I must admit that I am starting to long for CJ to wake up and need me... he's getting so big that I feel like I'm going to blink & he'll be off to college and not need me at all anymore. :( Sad mommy.... Also, I had TONS of work to get done today (which I just finished, yay me!)...

All this to say: I'm awake! & it's 12:42am... CJ went down at 9:30... what's my problem??? I should be sleeping! Hopefully I will get into a better groove as far as sleep goes soon... & Tomorrow is FRIDAY!!! All the stay-at-home-moms of the world say: AMEN!... that means Daddy's home for the weekend and I can get some other stuff done besides being my son's personal slave... um, i mean mom! :)

May God bless you today.
