Sleep will come

There are so many things I could bitch about right now, hell I wrote an entire blog in my head while laying upstairs praying Landry would fall back asleep....Instead, I will just say a few words. I NEED SLEEP!
Landry had a low grade fever on Sunday night and through Monday morning. By Monday evening it was gone. I checked her again Tuesday morning and it was back, I called the doctor. Tuesday evening it was gone - It never came back yesterday. Great, right? Okay so no fever, BUT her voice is hoarse. I tried to look down her throat, which doesn't seem to be inflamed, but what the hell do I know - My MD is in television medicine. So I put in a call to the doctor, they said to wait it out. If she doesn't seem to be in any pain it could just be allergies. HUH? I may call a different pediatrician, and if that doesn't make me feel any better, I will just take her in anyway...but I would rather wait until her 6 month appointment (Monday). She went to bed at 9:15 woke up at 12:00 ate went back to bed got up at 2:30 ate and went back to bed, got up at 4:00 ate, and wouldn't go back to sleep...at 4:30 I asked for help, at 4:45 I was back rocking Landry. By 5:30 I was back in my bed, Landry woke up at 7:00 this morning. Seriously? This would be different if I just had her....you know you expect to be up constantly...but LOGAN was sleeping throught the night at 6 weeks...LANDRY wont sleep for more than two hours! Ughhh....I am hoping it is due to her not feeling well. I usually try not to compare the two of them, because so far they are day and night. Nothing seems to be the same the second time around - except for how much I love them.
I got Landry to eat 4 oz. of the ready made formula....She ate 2 ounces early in the day and the another 2 ounces at about 7:00. Of course, she wanted nothing to do with the bottle, so I used the syringe...but hey whatever. I read you are supposed to introduce the sippy cup at 6 months...so maybe she will just eat/drink from a sippy cup. Although I am not sure she is ready to start the sippy cup. She is still not sitting up on her own...which makes me worry. Again - not to compare but Logan was crawling at 6 months and walking at 9 months...I think he was sitting at or around 4 months...I am sure it is just one of those spectrum things...anywhere from this time to this time is normal.....I dont know - I just dont like feeling like something is wrong, or she is behind. I felt the same way with Logan's speech. I still would have liked him to talk earlier and he still has a way to go...but that kid developed his speech so quickly over such a short amount of time...I am so proud of him. There is still the occasional babble...or when he doesn't know what something is, he makes up a name for it - which means that I dont know what the hell he is talking about. LOL His new favorite game is "What's that?" No matter where we are, he asks "What's that?" I answer - "A table" he repeats, "table"...then he moves on the the next item he sees. It is very cute (at first) but once you've named seven hundred items in a grocery store, it gets a little old! Plus, if you try to ignore him, he just gets louder and then he throws in the "MOMMY, WHAT"S THAT" LOL he is too funny. He seriously is talking up a storm these days! I love it!
