Caleb...woke up at 11:30 to eat...went back to sleep...
Woke up at 2 a.m...crying and crying...wouldn't be consoled by Dave...I took him and he fell asleep...tried to put him down, wouldn't go down and cried again, then decided it was time for him to have some up time...finally went back to sleep again at 330...with me, on the couch, with half my butt hanging off the couch and my legs positioned super awkwardly so as not to wake the dang kid...
Woke up again at 5 a.m....ate...went back to sleep...
Needless to say, I'm tired.
We are finally moving him to 3rd stage food and i'm going to try to make his rice cereal a little bit thicker...my cousin suggested that maybe it's cuz he's not getting enough calories in the day time that he still feels the need to drink milk at night. The hard part is that he doesn't want to drink his milk, especially when it's the late afternoon, early evening time. He doesn't want to drink before he goes to sleep at around 9 either. So then, inevitably, he wakes up to eat in the night. I don't know how to force him to drink cuz he arches his back and starts screaming and kicking like a freakin' tantrum throwing two year old when he doesn't want anymore and you try to force it in his mouth. He's been eating about 6 tbsp of fruit at breakfast and 7-8 tbsp of rice, vegetable, and meat for lunch and dinner. Then he gets about 22-26 ounces of milk, but that includes the dreaded nighttime feedings too...
Anyways, he's in bed now so I better get my butt to bed too...
Day two of no nausea...woohoo!!! My belly is getting round again!!! It's kind of weird. My worry is that Caleb climbing all over my belly, when I'm lying down especially, is detrimental in some way...and when he wants to walk across my stomach and chest...must not be good, I figure...

Maybe more solids or an extra meal of solids? Maybe ask the ped? Your getting enough rest is worth trying different options, especially while Caleb's brother or sister needs you to be well rested. :)
