Oh my!

I'm not sure if I had mentioned this before, but my son is VERY stubborn.

He has taken to not sleeping during the day, which I would be ok with, if not for the fact that he becomes very crotchety at around 6pm. And at that time, nothing can stop his crying for more than a few seconds. We've had 3 days like this, and I really don't know how much longer I can handle that! It takes hours to calm him down, and to get enough food into him to get him full enough to sleep.

It's noon now, and he's been asleep for about 15 minutes now... which makes about 45 minutes of sleep since 7:30am. I hope it lasts this time.

Until he wakes up, I have tonnes to do... there are dishes that have been calling my name for days now, that absolutely need to be put in the dishwasher... there are some cloth diapers soaking in a tub in the bathroom that need to be lugged downstairs to put hung up by the fire to dry... and as in any home with a newborn, there is a pile of laundry that needs to be dealt with (and buying new clothes to replace the dirty ones is no longer an option).

Busy, busy, busy... but I'll only have to do all of that if H. sleeps... I can't decide if I want him awake or not!
