I haz a cranky baby.
She just hasn't been the same since her shots on Thursday. She's typically kind of a whiny kid to begin with (most of my days are spent finding ways to keep/stop her from crying), but it's been ten fold the last few days. The first couple she was kind of sluggish and tired, had a bit of a fever that night and the next day (nothing a little baby Tylenol couldn't handle). But the last couple days? Sheesh. Cry City.
I don't want to be that mom who stuffs her kid's face with meds when she's cranky, but I have read that the Tylenol can help the mood swings, even if there's no fever. I mean, she's essentially half-sick right now, her little body doing its all to absorb the vaccinations. It's hard to find reliable information online about what to do in this kind of situation, but a lot of mom-forums I came across say crankiness for up to a week is normal.
A week!
Oh and she finally pooped today. This kid was saving it up. For eight days. Imagine eight days worth of poo, all at once. It was horrific. You'd need space-age diapers to contain that much (which I do not have, so you can see my problem). Gross.
But I still love her!! <3

- On my fourth day of maternity leave, I got bored. So I created this blog to reflect on the changes in my self and my life that my pregnancy has brought so far, as well as hopefully fill some days.
