deep breaths
Okay, things have calmed down a little bit. I picked up the baby and started just walking around with him, which got him to stop crying. Then I sat down in the rocking chair and just picked up “Fast Food Nation” and started reading it to him. He fell asleep almost immediately. Who knew that hearing the ingredients of Burger King's strawberry milkshakes would be so soothing?
It sounds like I'm talking about a newborn. cripes. I hope he feels better soon. I keep having this horrible fantasies of going to the doctor's and them whisking him away to the hospital and telling me that I'm an unfit mother.
I'm going to go get a shower, clean the puke and snot off of me.
