Tired
Topic: Ryan
Ugh. I am tired.
Last night Ryan really missed his daddy. The closer it got to bed and bath time, the more Ryan was out of sorts. Daddy is always a part of bath and bedtime, and Ryan was NOT happy that daddy wasn't there.
For some reason, Ryan woke up at 2:45am and was awake for an hour. I kept hoping he would just go back to sleep. I kept falling back asleep before I could will myself to go check on him. (Ryan wasn't crying or anything, so I didn't feel the need to jump up.) Finally after about an hour, I got up and put his stuff back in his crib, put his pacifier back in his mouth, gave him a cuddle, and put him back down. That seemed to do the trick.
I don't know why I feel so tired today. Could be the weather. Could be the return to single parenting. Could be my sleep's been messed up lately. (I'm thinking all of the above.) Also, Ryan seems out of sorts. I can't tell if he's coming down with something, or if it's just what's referred to around here as, "the Harrogate Crud." Basically when the weather turned, Ryan's nose started running non-stop. It cleared up almost instantly after our arrival in California. A week or so after we got back to the UK, it started to come back. Now it's really going. So it's hard to tell if it's a slight cold, allergies, or what. He seems ok otherwise. No fever or anything. He seems a bit out of sorts, but that could be for all kinds of reasons (teething, daddy gone, etc.).
Anyhow, I know this blog has been very Ryan-centric. He's my focus right now.
