So last night Gabe and I were up with Deegan all night. The past couple of weeks he has finally been sleeping through the night, but it ended last night. Initially Deegan went down at 7pm and then was up at midnight. I could not get him calmed down. It was so sad and frustrating all at the same time. Gabe and I tried everything but we didn't know what to do. At first we thought he was teething but then he kept tugging at his ear and we all know what that means. I was eventually able to get him to sleep for about 45min-1hour increments, but then I couldn't fall back asleep. I was pretty much up from 12:00am until 5:00am. I'm sure everyone that reads this is sick of my sob stories, but I hope to use my blog as a sort of journal so I am going to write about this anyway. I called the doctor's office first thing this morning and luckily they were able to get him in. Apparently he has double ear infections. I now understand why he was so upset last night. Hopefully now that we have him on antibiotics he will start feeling better. I don't really feel bad that I didn't get any sleep, I just wish that I knew how to help him. Anyway, hopefully the worst is over and he will get back to his happy self.
