If you don't understand my blog title, it simply means I'm tired. Very tired. Starting last weekend, I noticed Barrett becoming sleepy all the time. He literally only wants to stay awake for 30 minutes at a time which isn't like him at all. On top of that, he was a little grumpy. I assumed maybe he had whatever I was sick with at the time. I had started to run fever at night, had horrible back pain, and overall just felt bad. I went to the doctor and they checked me for a UTI but that wasn't it. I still run fever every few nights so I'm wondering if it's related to the gastrointestinal stuff I've had going on for a while. Luckily, Barrett hasn't ran fever. Over this past weekend, he progressed to having frequent #2 diapers, spitting up, and not wanting to eat or sleep through the night. Now, we're assuming he's cutting teeth. The first few nights that he didn't want to sleep, we ended up putting him in the bed with us and he'd do fine. I decided last night that we weren't going to do that again. I didn't want him getting too used to getting in bed with us. So, I was up every 30 minutes to an hour, picking him up out of his crib, rocking him, and putting him back to bed. Needless to say, it was exhausting, but I refused to give in and put him in our bed. Hopefully this teething thing will get better...hopefully.
Barrett's sitting up by himself and babbles all the time! He says "dada" and "baba" alot. He just recently started saying "mama" again after his 3 month break from it-haha. He typically only says "mama" when he's crying or upset. He still hates being on his stomach and has no desire to roll over. Despite all the teething, we don't see or feel any teeth yet. His favorite thing to do is jump in his Jumperoo. It's so cute watching his little frog legs go to town! He weighs about 23 pounds now. I have a feeling this may be what's causing all my back pain lately! Luckily, we don't have to go back to the doctor for 2 more months! I'm thinking we don't have to get shots but then again, I'm not positive.
Life's been really busy lately between baby showers, weddings, birthdays, and holidays. This past weekend was the first weekend we haven't had any plans in a long time. We pretty much did nothing but sit around the house, which was so nice. I can't ever get enough time with my sweet husband and darling baby. Speaking of babies, I am so excited that my best friend Audrey is having a baby! She is due January 2012 and I cannot wait! They're supposed to find out in August if it's a boy or a girl. Barrett told me that he's very eager to know ;) Audge, I know you will be a wonderful momma!
Anyways, I think I'll get off here. I'm getting another endoscopy Friday (which I'm kind of dreading). I'm sooo over hurting and being nauseous all the time! I'm praying that they figure out something!

So excited!
I am so happy for my best friend, Audrey Seyerle and her husband Franz! They are pregnant with their first baby, due January 10th, 2012! I am ecstatic to gain another nephew or possibly my first niece! I've known she was pregnant for a while now but she chose to wait until she got an ultrasound, which was today, to announce the pregnancy on Facebook. I know she will be a wonderful mother and Franz will be a great father. They deserve nothing but the best and having a child of your own IS the best thing in the world. Ty, Barrett, and I love ya'll!
On another note, Barrett's progressing fairly well these days. I think putting him in West Jackson's daycare has been the best decision we've made so far. His teachers are wonderful! They seem to spend alot of time with the babies, helping them learn new things. They're nice people in general. I feel like him being able to watch other babies and learn from them helps. He's a really good eater these days. He eats oatmeal with a fruit in the morning. For lunch, he gets a vegetable and fruit. Right before he goes to bed (usually around 10 pm), he eats rice cereal with a vegetable. From the time he wakes up in the morning until he goes to bed at night, he takes a 6-8 ounce bottle every 3-ish hours. Luckily, he's still sleeping through the night. He wakes up around 8 am normally. I honestly feel like I have an angel-baby. I don't know what I've done to deserve such a well-behaved, content, and happy baby. The only time he cries, he actually needs something unlike alot of babies that cry just because.
I've been really busy the past few days. I am so tired because I stayed up late last night cleaning the house and doing laundry and dishes. Once I get going, I don't want to stop until it's done. Tonight, we had dinner with my parents at their house. Then, me and Ty ran to Wal-Mart for groceries while Mom and Doo-Dah babysat B. Once we got home, it was bath and dinner time for B, which takes about 30 minutes. I had a little bit of cleaning left to do so I finished it up while Ty put Barrett to bed. Speaking of Ty, Father's Day is coming up and I must give him props for being such a good dad to B. I love him to death and am so proud of the father he has grown to be. I'm sure if Barrett could talk, he'd say the same!
Anyways, here I am up very late again! I've got to get to bed! Before I go, I want to wish my sister and her husband, Kirk & Christie Davison a happy anniversary, which is technically today. Also an early Happy Anniversary wish to my stepdad and mother, Steve & Lori Smith. Their actual anniversary is Saturday. I love all four of ya'll and can't imagine a better mate for any of you. I hope everyone has a great week!
