I'm much calmer now, ladies... thanks for being there for me this AM...
I was a wreck this morning - we both had 3 hours of sleep, and he was screaming and screaming and screaming with these big puffy red eyes...
It got to the point where I was afraid to go near him, because I was getting angry at him, and I felt guilty about that - but I was picking him up not as gently as I normally do, and that bothered me...
I gave him a bath, which he loved, and that calmed both of us down. Then I fed him some food, and dressed him. After that, I let him scream while I took a shower. I then called DH crying, which I havent done since Cailen was 5 weeks old (its really been that long since I felt so overwhelmed with Cailen!!! I'm also PMSing big time and stressed from work) I cried because he was still crying, and I was looking forward to this day off so I could do things with him and have fun...
DH asked me what I would have done with him, I said go for a walk, the park, etc... he told me to still do those things, because he will still sleep, and I will move around and feel better... as soon as I got off the phone, wouldnt you know it - HE FELL ASLEEP!!!
He and I both slept for over an hour and we were both much happier after the nap. We went for a walk, and then came home, ran some errands, and played - he is now in his exersaucer next to me...
Thank you ladies for your advice and hugs... It was a tough night and morning for me...

I hate those nights- especially the part where you feel like you might lose it and take it out on them You feel so guilty yet upset and angry at the same.Its the worst.
I am so glad he is doing better and you both got some sleep. Its amazing what an hour nap can do
