I Saw A Movie...And Then Reality Came Crashing Back!

Can you say Eclipse? I saw it. The movie I was DYING to see. David forced me out of the house for a "play date" as he called it. He asked if I wanted to see it. I did. Badly. But with Grayson and the crying and his hatred of bottles, I didn't think it would doable. So, he took matters into his own hands. He called my friend, Jamie, told her I wanted to see it, and BAM, there we were two weeks later watching it, and it was AWESOME! I loved it. I cannot wait for Breaking Dawn. November 2011 can't come fast enough.

All throughout my time away from home though, I was constantly thinking about Grayson. He still wasn't feeling the greatest. When I got home though, David told me he slept the entire time I was gone. He'd only just woken up twenty minutes before I got home. But, he still was very unhappy, so I loaded him up in the car and we made a trip to Urgent Care. Turns out that nasty red and swollen throat he had has migrated to his ears. Double ear infection goodness. So, he is now taking Tylenol and antibiotics. Super. He doesn't mine the meds though. We fought a bit the first day, but now he takes it like a champ.

Something new popped up though. He has these pea sized lumps on the back left of his head. He doesn't like me touching them. He grabs my hand when I put my hand on the back of his head. I did a quick search and read that it may be swollen lymph nodes. I had no idea they could get swollen like that. I also read that they could go away whenever the illness that they are associated with goes away. So, if they aren't gone by the time the antibiotics are, back to the doctor we go. I'm also hoping with the illness, the tears go too. We got a great nap schedule going. We had a perfect bedtime routine. But, ever since all this started, he just isn't sleeping well at all. Friday night he was up almost every 3 hours. Last night it was even worse. Naps are slowly getting off kilter. The crying has been cranked up a notch. I just don't know what else to do for him that I haven't already done. Claire cried with the best of them, but Grayson is crying like he's practicing for the Olympics. This, right here, is the first quiet today. He cried through grocery shopping, he cried driving to and from the store. He cried during meals. He cried at the breast...You get the idea. I'm exhausted, and I don't know what else to do. I'm at a loss.
