Calgon... Take Me Away!

'Cause Mommy needs a break. And some uninterrupted sleep. Daddy needs some too. I'm not sure exactly what we're dealing with here, but since we came home Wednesday afternoon, Parker has not been sleeping well at all. He screams when he starts getting sleepy, and can keep it up for up to 30-45 minutes at a time before he will finally give it up and go to sleep... only to sleep for about 20 minutes, then wakes up screaming again. Perhaps the after-affects of anesthesia? At least at night he sleeps for two hour stretches before he starts screaming again. Ha. Right. Great.

Other than the fighting sleep thing, we are doing pretty well. The feeding is still really slow and sporadic, but beginning to improve. As far as his general demeanor, he is definitely back to his normal babbling, laughing, busy self. He's even managed two developmental milestones this week. He learned to clap and he's scooting everywhere. Fast. If we sing Pat-a-Cake to him, he will start to clap. Soooo cute!

Daddy and I are still trying to decide whether or not he will be able to go back to school tomorrow because the feeding is still not going as well as we would like, and we need to monitor his intake. They do great monitoring his intake at school, but we don't want to make his teachers nervous, and they have seven other little ones to look after as well. So, we may be home for the next couple of days, we'll just have to wait and see.

A friend of mine's son recently went through a surgery where they had to put him under and he had nite terrors for about 2 weeks after. Glad he is doing well...Miss you honey!
