I would imagine somebody who was going on a vacation and turned on the weather channel only to hear that a hurricane is headed to their destination would have a sick feeling in their stomach right about now. Well I'm having that same feeling about a little hurricane we're calling Jack. A couple weeks ago Jack had a high fever for 4 days and it included waking up in the middle of the night and staying up for hours as we tried to get the fever to break. Well the fever went away, but the waking several times remained. At first we weren't too concerned, he's been a great sleeper and we had a couple weeks before our trip. Well a week passed and not much progress was being made, parents were growing weary and the trip that we envisioned to be relaxing was beginning to feel less so. We limited naptime during the day, filled the day with activity, made sure he was well fed, did the whole bedtime routine, and of course crying it out. There are still bags under my eyes. Last night Jack went to bed at 7:30, began crying at 10:00 and cried until 11:00, woke at 4:30 cried to 5 something (time is a bit blurry when you are this deprived). Now add on a 3 hour time difference and the first 3 nights in one hotel room and maybe you can see why I'm beginning to dread going.
Let's hope the tropical tradewinds and sounds of the ocean are the solution we've been searching for.

ugh.. I hope hurricane Jack passes soon. If it meakes you feel any better Gracie did the exact same thing. She was crazy, then all of her molars came in at once and she changed back to her normal self. Hmmm maybe Hurricane=teething? I hope you get to have a relaxing vacation.
Julie my sympathies with sleep deprivation. Jacob had sleep issues in the past so I will pray this passes quickly. Take a nap!
love the picture and graphic.. very cute! And I was going to say the same thing as Carrie and suggest perhaps 2 year molars were coming in??? Good luck!
