Sam has had a little tummy bug going on for several days now, poor kid. He's been on and off Pedialyte since Saturday. Every time I try to start him back on formula, he does fine for half a day or so, and then suddenly starts puking again. So I took him to the ped. today, and she suggested that I put him on soy formula for a while, until his diarrhea goes away. Apparently if he's on Pedialyte for too long, it will have an adverse affect.
The thing is, being on the pedialyte, although it has kept him hydrated, he is hungry as hell. He just keeps crying and crying and crying! And tonight he'd gotten himself so worked up, even after I fed him the soy formula when we got back from the doc's office, he wouldn't stop. Luckily (or so I thought), Scott came home a little early. Ah, some help! I think.
WRONG!
The man is snoozing away on the couch as I type this. And this is after I've told him how exhausted I am from trying to console Sam for the last two days straight. I finally did get him to stop crying and fall asleep for the first time today. But we have to meet up with some friends for dinner in about an hour. If Sam is still sleeping, I may just tell Scott to go without us. Dinner wouldn't be too fun anyway with a baby crying non-stop.
I'm just really mad at Scott about not helping me. I know this is probably one of those "well, is he supposed to read your mind?" kind of things, and I'm being childish. But come on! You're this kid's parent too. Step up!
