To start, it was almost a week ago (March 23rd to be exact) we found out that P was getting his first tooth in!! In a way I was kind of sad about it, because that just means he is that much bigger and older (also I think my sensitive switch has been pushed to high, because since I have had him I get so emotional about everything....kind of gross) But, this whole tooth thing explained a lot of his grumpiness (normally this child is so chill and happy) The poor guy could not sleep....usually he takes two naps a day, and each nap will be for about two hours. Last week it was like three naps a day and each nap being 30 or 45 min. Then at night I think he just could not get comfortable because that dang tooth was bothering him.
Ok, so the next thing is I have been looking for a teaching job and I was offered a position at a school that I could really see myself teaching at!! I was super excited right....well then I go in and meet with the directors and find out that the position is not exactly what I was looking for. If I didn’t have P I would take it with no hesitation, but this little guy changes everything....Its all about him! That’s one of the main reasons I wanted to be a teacher is because I would get time off to be with my kids (yes there is only one right now, but I'm also talking about my future babies too) and with the position I was offered I wouldn’t get that time off because its is year round. So after this meeting I had with the directors I was supper stressed because I didn’t know how my family was going to feel about me feeling so uncomfortable with this, when I know that they have been wanting me to get a job (and yes I want one too, but one that is not year-round!) So I had a breakdown with my husband about it on Sunday after church, because lets just say Saturday night I didn’t get any sleep....every time I would think about it I would just start crying; I couldn’t imagine being away from my baby that much!
Anyways, Saturday morning I wake up with P as I usually do, but I hear a little wheeze.....I try not to make it a big deal but I was a little concerned (ok not really a little). So after he eats breakfast and has his milk I call his ped's office and told them what was going on. They said I need to bring him in so they can take a listen to his breathing and check things over. Of course I go into "worried first time mom" mode and start scrabbling to get things together and get to the doc's office by 9:30am. So we get to the doc’s office and of course when the doctor finally comes in he isn’t wheezing….my luck. So while the doc is talking to us, telling us it was probable just a nasal whistle, I hear P start to wheeze again and I totally interrupt the doc and tell him “come listen now, he is doing it again” and sure enough I was right. The doc said that since it is so mild to just keep our eye (ear) on it and if it gets worse than we would have to get an aspirator machine thing….so I'm praying it doesn’t get worse. As of know he is doing better; just a cough and yucky nose…but I'm thinking that’s because of the tooth.
Good news time……Sunday was P’s first time to eat in his highchair J I have been feeding him in his bumbo chair, but on Sunday I thought I would see if he could sit up in the high chair. Ok, it’s not really a highchair, but its one of those seats you can strap to your kitchen chair, and he did so well! He loves it!!!
Also, onto job stuff again….I have called several places to see about job opportunities, and found out that two of the places will for sure have openings in the fall and one of these places offers infant care, yay!!! Pray for me please of this journey for a job!
