HELP ME PLEASE!

The thought occurred to me to write this blog last night at about 1 a.m. while I am hunched over the baby's crib, trying to give him a pacifier and rubbing his head and his tummy simultaneusly.

Sam is not sleeping and it is oh so very frustrating. I know that it is partially my fault. First, we went on a long road trip with him to Youngstown, where on the way there he slept 6 hours straight in the car, during the day. Yet, he still slept pretty good at nights -- even getting some 7 hour stretches in there. Well, when we get home I decide that it is time to put him in the crib. Cold turkey. He had been sleeping in his carseat, swing, bouncey chair up until this point. (I know, my fault again). I knew he would be fussy at first in the crib, but I thought it would pass.

Well, it has now been five days and he is still not completely adjusted. Am I being too impatient? It almost seems like he has his days and nights mixed up. I have Jake even writing down how long he is sleeping during the day. And, every single night he has a giant poop. Poor baby. So, I have to change him and he looks at me and smile when I want to cry because I am SO FREAKING TIRED.

I feel like we are totally going backwards in this sleep thing. Before he was sleeping 6 hours at a time, waking up for just a little snack of food, then going back to sleep super easy. Now everything is jacked up just in time for me to be back at work.

Anyone have any ideas of what is going on. Does he just hate the crib? Are his days and nights mixed up? Is it both? Should I be concerned? I NEED HELP. I am going to have a Glitter breakdown if I don't get more than 4 hours of sleep a night.

Thank you for letting me rant.
