DS has just woken up from a nap and is screaming the house down. He's had a 6oz bottle two hours ago, he's brought up wind, his nappy is clean and he's not too hot. The screaming started earlier when I put him in his car seat and it was as if I'd abandoned him in the driveway!!
He's seven weeks old and is just getting louder!! I realise a lot of this is just temper but ye gods it's just so loud. When does the crying subside any!! Before his nap I'd read him three books and he was giggling and cooing and smiling. He nodded off in his swing and I did a bit of ironing then half an hour later wakes the whole street up! Back in his swing listening to his beach noises and he's laid there happily now. He's not asleep but is silent.
I know ten minutes can seem like an hour when it's just the two of you. And he's so good when we go out! He's awesome in the evenings as well. I just cop for it in the day times it seems.
I am in desperate need of an afternoon off. I've been away from him to get my hair cut since he was born - about 90 minutes. All other time I've been in the house when OH has been in charge or with him out of the house.
Sorry I just needed a vent. I love this boy so much and my OH is great as well, though seems to manage to get out on his own somehow!, but it's so draining emotionally! Going to brave a mummy and baby group I think - i need more human interaction.
