6 Weeks

Not much new except for....last night Bradley slept 6 hours in a row!!! He slept from 10pm until 4am! Unfortunately I again could not shut my brain off and only ended up getting about 5hrs like usual throughout the night. But (knock on wood) the last three nights he has slept better than normal at night and been awake most of the daytime. Could he finally have his days/nights straight??

Yesterday we were a little worried about him. While daddy was at work I noticed that Bradley's left eye had some nasty greenish drainage coming from it. I would clean it off, and it would gunk up again. And he was very fussy all day. When daddy came home for lunch, we decided he felt warm and I took his temp--99.4. So that evening we got some infant Tylenol and gave it to him, and I decided that if his eye was still bad today that we would call the doctor.

Thankfully when I got up this morning, his eye was all better!! He still felt warm and was still very fussy so we gave him a little more Tylenol. Throughout the day he got to feeling better, and was eating nonstop. His grandma Penny, aunt Sarah, and cousin Zoe came to see us today and he was good the whole time--after his tummy got full. His cousin Zoe is almost 7 months old so we've been comparing notes about different milestones to expect. And I've been getting her leftover diapers that are too small! You can never have too many of those.

This evening we left our little man with grandma Kathy so that we could buzz down to Norman and tackle the yardwork at our house that isn't selling. Poor Nick hates mowing that yard because the backyard is very steep and terraced--not to mention it's 100 degrees outside! So while he mowed, I trimmed and swept everything. After a couple of hours we were done so we grabbed some icees and hit the showers before we picked Bradley up. He was very good for his grandma and was famished when he got home!

I tried to put him down around 10:30 tonight but he just layed in the crib and played. I turned on his mobile (which is so cute--he smiles at it!!) but that didn't make him tired either. Then he filled up a diaper...I changed it...still not tired. Ended up having to hold him on the couch with a paci and lull him to sleep. Pray that he sleeps through the night again!!
