Sick Baby? Sicker Mama

Baby is sick with something. Maybe a cold? Maybe allergies? His nose sounds clogged and he had some snot come out this morning. No runny nose yet.
And I am sick because I really wanna just put him down and let him cry it out. I have as bad a memory as baby does. Despite the fact that he slept from 11:30pm last night to 3:30am this morning I feel like I can't take it anymore. I just want him to go to take a nap. I want him to stay asleep when I put him down. I am sick of his waking up every time I lay him down.
He woke up at 5:15am this morning. I fed him at 6:45am, it is 8:15am he is not willing to nap. If I pick him up he is cranky and sleepy so I rock him till he is drowsy and nods his head. He is swaddled and in his crib and whimpering. I know that his being sick isn't making him feel any better but I really want him to not sleep in my arms.
I went out yesterday to lactation support group so it's not like I don't get out of the house. I am just a cold bitch really. I can't wait till I can let him cry it out.
Well I am holding him in my arms now. Time for my morning cupcake. Way to self-medicate!!!

Calling all MOPS

And by MOPS I mean Mothers of Pee Shooters. The last two nights I have gone through more wardrobe changes that pop star trying to hide their lack of talent. Last night I got peed on 4 times in 2 diaper changes (Babii will pee I'll cover him up after he gets a good spray out I'll uncover him to put on the new diaper and he used this opportunity to get another spray out). It's not like his diaper is dry, I use a cloth diaper prefold and an extra hemp insert at night and they are usually both sopping... And he still has more to donate to my pajamas.
I have discovered that hovering with the diaper is better that touching him because touching makes him stop peeing and it is better to let him get everything out. Has any one used a peepee teepee or weeblocker successfully? We shall see if I can be a little more awake for diaper changes tonight.
As for breastfeeding Babii and I are doing much better. Still feel sore after a day of nursing and the bottle of expressed breast milk is a good break for me. He is more awake for feedings and opens his mouth nice and big when he wants to eat.
Now his problem is he has to process everything that he eats. He suffers quite a bit from gas. Poor little guy wiggles and cries and stretches out and kicks his legs. We scrunch him up and pump his legs to help him get the gas out but he still spends most of his time grunting (even while he is sleeping). he spends so much time grunting that I have nicknamed him Gruntasaurus. Well Gruntasaurus is eating like a monster, he now weighs 10lbs 10oz and is just short of 22 inches so, maybe all that grunting is him willing his little body to grow so he can stuff more milk into his tiny tummy.
I love how squidgy he looks while he is grunting but we are trying our best to reduce his gas. Any suggestions will be accepted.
