Great!! Why? because I have been using Tylenol cough and cold for 3 days. Max’s stuffed nose was not allowing him to sleep and nothing else was working. I am such an all natural kind of gal but when it means a screaming baby who is so tired that he cannot function or GET BETTER or LET MOM SLEEP, well that is when I have to draw the line.

Yes, I have not taken antibiotics in a long time..I go to accupunture when I am sick and I try all different remedies to naturally heal myself but hey, I KNOW HOW TO BLOW MY NOSE!!

And yes, I can read labels and so I am sure that many of these infant deaths were because the parent gave the baby TOO MUCH. But what kind of mother would I be if I just saw THIS on the news and still gave it to Max.

So I went into the cabinet and pulled out the peppermint oil and put in his diffuser in his room. I pretty much sat him straight up to go to sleep and so hopefully he can breathe.

I even pulled out the bebesounds snot machine and tried to get out some snot but it never works too well for me and Max hates the machine eventhough it plays music.

So go figure..

I feel like my life is just simply full of teething but I guess that is life in general..we talk about what we are experiencing. So now, as Max crawls, drool is falling out of his mouth onto the floor, his clothes, my clothes, everything. He does not have the drool rash YET but I am waiting for that pleasure.

As for his ear aches, I think he still has the one in his left ear but the right seems to be better. He is till stuffy and so it is hard for him to get comfy and rest. But at least he is napping and somewhat sleeping. He is not getting up every 20 minutes anymore.

I actually was able to put away the laundry this morning, workout, do some work for work and blog. Lately, I feel like I have not time. Work has been picking up in the past few months. I have his babysitter here on Tuesday and Wednesday so I can go to work and Monday she is here for 4 hours so I can go take care of some personal stuff like accupuuncture or anything like that and I could have her here more..But that would mean less time with Max and I am not willing to do that.

It is a balance. I am learning how to catch myself because I fall and hit a brick wall. I am actually learning to ask for HELP!! I know you are surprised as well.

OH GOTTA GO MISTER MAX IS AWAKE FROM HIS NAPPY!!
