Fussy

Today was a short day at work because Abby has been...uummmmm...lets say fussy. I'm tempted to say that she has been a ball-of-wreck, but I fear what is to come so I'm saving that description just in case it gets worse.

Last night she went down at 7, woke at 10:30 and ate a decent size meal, woke at 3:30 and ate like I hadn't fed her in a week, woke at 6:30 to have a small snack and went back to sleep for an hour. Now I know that this does not seem too bad, but it really sucks since she used to sleep from 6 p.m. to 5 or 6 a.m. until her X-mas cold hit.

Anyway, I went to work this morning and Abby stayed home with daddy. MJ and I talked at around 10:30 and she hadn't ate yet. No big deal, this is how she get sometimes when we leave her with other people. MJ said that she as a bit hard to please but still happy for the most part.

Then I get a text at 1:30--Still not eating. MJ had tried a bottle 3 different times and each time she refused. I decided to come home to see if I could get her to eat since her last good size meal was at 3:30 a.m.(about 10 hours earlier). At this point Abby would go from ok to mad and crying or screaming in 5-10 minute intervals--I assume because she was hungry and tired.

When I walked in I was greeted with a huge smile and flailing arms. When we sat down to feed Abby would lift her head and open her mouth super wide in anticipation of the boob. Little stinker, she was holding out for mommy and the fresh stuff! After her good meal, she took a good 2 hour nap and woke with a smile.

That did not last too long though. About an hour later (6:30), fussy Abby was back. Nothing seemed to make her happy or comfortable. So off to bed she went--p.j.s on, diaper clean, Tylenol and more boobjuice consumed.

It is now 10:08 and the beast is up and not so happy....I assume this is teething...

UPDATE:

It's 10:57 p.m. and I just got done feeding Abby and getting her back to sleep. Here is how it went down: MJ tried to sooth her first and, well, that DIDN'T work. So, I walk in sit down and hold Abby. Screaming stops. "Are you kidding me?!!!" She falls asleep for 5 then wakes up screaming again. I sushhhhh her to sleep again and 5 minutes later the screaming banshee is back so I feed her. When she is done feeding, guess what...screaming banshee again. So I un-burrito and burp her. The little banshee subsides for 5 or so then returns. Time to bust out the teething toys and let the gnawing begin. This goes on for 10 minutes then it is time to burrito and sleep. I one-arm burrito her due to the fighting and we rock for 10 minutes or so. By this time Mommy is falling asleep but Abby is just staring at me. Enough. I put her in her crib and left the room. She slept/was quite for a few minutes and MJ has hard to plug the paci back in 2x now. I hope this is no indication as to how the rest of the night will go.
