My poor baby...

First of all, let's clear the air about one thing.... I have not slept through the night ONE SINGLE TIME since the day I got pregnant with Andrew. That's right folks, I have not slept for 6 straight hours since January 2008. That's a long, long, LOOOONG time to be sleep deprived.... With that being said, Andrew is typically up twice a night. He wants to eat and cuddle and then it's back off to dreamland for the both of us.

Well... whenever he doesn't sleep well (as in he's up 5+ times a night) it always leads to one thing -- a trip to Dr. Jon, and that's exactly where we went today.

We had a 9:45 appointment, and Jon came in and wanted to chat and chat and chat. I swear we talked for 15 minutes before he even looked at Andrew. Usually I love that he takes his time and doesn't rush in and out, but today, I just wanted to find out what was wrong and get home. Andrew's throat was super red, so Jon did a strep test. Since he had symptoms for 30+ hours, if he had strep, it should show "positive" immediately. Of course it came back "negative" so the poor little guy got a finger poke to find out if he had a bacterial or viral infection. Wouldn't you know -- viral.... Which means there's NOTHING he can do. It just has to run it's course, and in the meantime, my poor little guy isn't eating well, not sleeping and reeaaallly clingy. UUUUUGH! Needless to say, I'm off to bed!!
