After spending all night awake with a hungry baby and a puker it's been a pretty long day. I started feeling pretty frustrated with life around 3:00am and had a nice little pity party in my rocking chair. I figured there was no way I could handle four kids the next day, my baby wouldn't sleep, and I was so tired I could barely function. I knew if I called for help from Mr. Stannix he would happily sacrifice some sleep, but I also knew that he needed his sleep so that he could work hard for us the next day at work. Just after I got Finley to sleep, Hyrum snuck in to inform me he had puked all over himself and his blankets. I think I finally crawled into my bed around 5:00am, just as Mr. Stannix got up to start his morning routine. I slept for about an hour until Joseph made his way to my bedside and begged for "bepest". I sent him downstairs and Daddy took care of his hungry belly. When he was full and Daddy had left for the day, he brought the iPad up and snuggled into bed with me. I spent the next few hours nodding in and out of sleep until Finley needed to be fed again.
Once we finally got up and got dressed, I spent the rest of my day alternating between nursing sessions and holding the puke bucket while I comforted Mr. H. He slept most of the day away in his bed when he wasn't throwing up. When Fin was asleep I tried my hardest to get things done in the kitchen, but Joseph was pretty much attached to my pocket or leg whining all day long. It was rough. We were all very glad when Daddy came home! I wouldn't have made it if it weren't for Camilla's help and Finley's baby smiles.
Joe's running a temp now too, so it looks like round two tonight!
