Baker has been sleeping SO much lately that it alarmed me last night enough to call his pediatrician. *Note all this happened at 11PM!! I was beyond exhausted as it was WAY past my bedtime but I was on alert mode since I was so paranoid something was wrong. Baker sleeps all night (usually 9PM-6AM), naps at daycare, falls asleep during the car ride home, falls asleep after his evening bottle, and then sleeps again all night. The past 2 nights he really didn't want anything to do with his toys or playing. It really concerned me when I would feed him. He would finish his bottle and I'd go to burp him and his little head would just dangle down. As if he was just SO tired that he just fell asleep sitting up! I did everything I knew of to get him more alert last night (took his diaper off, blared the TV, got his musical toys in front of him, etc.) I just didn't know what to think it was as he is NEVER this "out of it". I couldn't get a hold of Gordie at work as his phone died so I just decided I'd call his doctor. No harm in overworrying right? They said it is probably just a growth spurt and he's hitting deeper sleep than normal. As long as he isn't running a fever or stops eating then he should be ok. She also said this activity shouldn't last more than a week. So we'll just keep monitoring him and take it a day at a time.
On a brighter note, Baker rolled over late last night! Despite me thinking something was crazily wrong with him since he seemed so tired, when Gordie got home he helped wake him up more. I was in the kitchen washing bottles and they were on the living room floor on his blanket. Gordie had him on his tummy as he figured that would make him wake up quicker. He usually hates being on his tummy but has enjoyed it more and more the past few days but figured that would be an easy way to wake him more. No sooner than me cleaning 2 bottles Gordie screamed YAYYYY Baker!!! OMG Jess he finally rolled over! (I mean full tummy to entire back roll over. Baker has done small rolls or scoots around in circles or even rolls to his side but never a complete roll over) While I was so happy, I was devestated! I just burst into tears. I had been waiting for this moment for forever and I missed it. All because I was washing bottles. I am with Baker every night and here I missed a major milestone. He only did it once as he didn't do it again yet. Once I calmed down, I was happy but still so upset that I missed it. His daycare has been telling me everyday that he is SOOO close to rolling. (let me remind you...they don't ever tell you he's done something if he has as they don't want you to feel you're missing out. So now he did it last night and I STILL missed out!). UGH. So much for being responsible! I guess next time I'll just let the bottles and dishes wait. I don't know why I felt compelled to clean them at 1120PM anyway.
