I’m so sick – and he is so awake!

Well, it is official – I’m SICK. I can’t breathe, I’m all stuffed up and coughing, and I’m just feeling horrible. We’ve been having a rough day today – Micah has been cluster feeding all day, and he has been wide awake for the past 5 hours. It is kind of fun having him awake, but then he gets upset and wants to nurse. I think he isn’t sure what to do with himself. I’ve been singing to him
(poor guy) and talking to him. I’ve been giving him a pacifier today – not sure if that is a mistake. It seems to keep him calm, but I don’t want to discourage him from eating. He is able to hold it in his mouth all by himself! As Elliot would say, “He’s so advanced.” Perhaps Micah isn’t feeling well either.

Hopefully being awake will help him sleep better tonight. We’re also going to try the secure sleeper and see if that helps. Wish us luck!
