sick baby

I had every intention of writing a news story for this weeks Monday Mission. I even had a few ideas; I was looking forward to "playing." But then we went to the park...

The Little Mister is turning five months old tomorrow, so I wanted to get some pictures at the park. (To take him to the portrait place here on post costs an arm and a leg, so I take his pictures myself.) My neighbor and her little girl came with us to help with the pictures and take some of their own. But we weren't even to the park yet when the Little Mister started screaming. And screaming. And screaming. I thought it was his teeth, but the topical stuff didn't help, and tylenol didn't either. He wasn't hungry, or wet, or tired, he was in pain. Then the gas started. Poor little guy. I held him and rubbed his tummy and cuddled him on the swing, and it calmed him down some. But he's been sleeping pretty much since we got home (more than two hours) and hasn't eaten much all day. And, being a brand-new mom, I worry about everything.

Sorry to ramble on. Hopefully we'll return to our regularly scheduled blogging tomorrow.
