Story of My Life

Well Parker still isn't sleeping or eating. Sometimes I feel like I'm just crazy and maybe I just have no clue what I'm doing, but I kind of refuse to just believe this so instead I am headed to the Dr. today. He just grunts and groans most of the day and I just don't know what to do. The formula thing has been kind of a joke. I've tried combining breast milk and formula and he still wants nothing to do with it. So he is still at just one bottle a day, which has been kind of a joke cause Frank's worked late all week and since he won't take it from me I've been hauling dinner and Parker up to Frank's work every night. I don't know how much of it actually ends up in his mouth, but we try. Anyway we'll see what the dr. says, what do you do?

SLEEP

Everything in the mouth, he goes nuts on his walker!

Don't you just love the sunglasses?!?
Wow, so i kind of feel like I'm at my wits end. Parker is still waking up every 3 hours! At the end of 2 months he had started doing better, but ever since I went back to work he has reverted back to going back to every 3 hours. I need sleep! I've tried just about everything, short of letting him just cry. I tried giving him a bottle of formula which he drank just enough to kind of fill him(or until he realized what he was drinking) and I put him back to sleep, the next night I gave him water..I'm so mean.. I'm just tired of getting up 3 times a night. He still eats every two hours during the day, the Dr. said it's probably because of his acid reflux that he chooses to eat less more often which I'm sure plays a big role on him getting up at night. I feel like his reflux is tons better I just think he's stuck in this habit, sometimes I think it's my fault too because I feed him sometimes before we go places just so I don't get stuck somewhere with a crying baby cause he's hungry. I'm getting close to where I want to switch him to formula, but sometimes I think that can be a pain too. My fear is that it won't help and I'm stuck at night trying to make bottles up. It would be nice though to be able to go places and just make him a bottle. We've tried giving him a bottle a day, I like to give Frank this chore, but you know how Frank is, half the time he's no where to be found(don't tell him this though he thinks he's always home;). Anyways, I'm sorry this is kind of like my complaint journal. I am grateful that Parker is a very easy going baby, all considering he's very happy(it's just his mother with issues) Anyway I need sleep, help!
