Thank you all

Thanks for all of the suggestions, and especially for the encouragement. It made me feel so much better knowing there are moms who have gone through the same thing (and lived!). :)

We've been trying a few different things... One of which was a new swing.

He still has bad naps, but there have been some good, easy ones too. Ones where I can rock him for a bit, then lay him down and he sleeps for an hour!

Barrett trying out our newish stroller.

I'm back at work today (nannying), so at least if Barrett is a handful, I have two other boys to take my mind off him. :) Happy Thanksgiving week! I know my husband is getting very excited to head to the yoop. I am too, I just hope the long trip goes okay with the little man.

Help!

Barrett won't sleep.

Night time is no problem, he sleeps just fine. It's during the day that he has an issue. 

It goes like this:

He falls asleep, swaddled, in my arms in the rocking chair

I put him in his swing, with white noise going full blast

30 minutes later, he's up and fussing/crying

Nothing will put him back to sleep, but nothing stops the fussing either

So he's up for hours, and then he's overtired

By the end of the day, I'm still in my pjs and just a bit frustrated

Save my sanity! This will pass, right?? I mean, I know it will, but as I'm bouncing and sweating with Barrett in the front pack, it feels like this might last forever. And my back is really sore.

Anyone in need of a laugh?

Who needs a swaddle?

This is what happens when Dad does the changing ;)

Look!

Look who is one month old already!

We are starting to figure our little man out. I think he is a sensitive baby- he can get very fussy if overstimulated!
