Okay, Fritzy's sleep is all back to normal now. Phew! That was a super rough few days. I have reverted to holding him for his naps. It's not that big a deal for me -- two or three hours of quiet and reading and cuddling is better than an hour-long battle of wills that results in a 30 minute nap and a grumpy baby. Plus, I'll be going back to work when he's 9 months old, and I won't be able to hold him as much then. I need to maximize the time I have now. PLUS I do really like the cuddle time. :)
I really really REALLY do not believe that you can "spoil" a baby by cuddling him too much. So there.
I can already see that going back to work (pushed back to mid-August, now, but that is a FIRM date) is going to be extremely hard. The only thing that makes it okay for me is that C. will be a stay-at-home dad, and that I'll hopefully be able to come home for lunches to have a little Fritz time.
C. is taking a trip this week, leaving tomorrow or Thursday and heading to the wild East for a few days. He's a wanderer at heart, and I'm glad he's taking advantage of the time. I've never been alone with Fritz for that long, though. I'm sure we'll be fine, but we'll really miss him. I'm lining up outings and stuff like that to take some of the pressure off. And I'm going to ask some friends to take him for little walks from time to time, to give me a break.
