Well, we've had a frustrating few nights here in the Berger household. Rudy has decided that he would like to get up every three hours throughout the night again, and I am very tired. This has only gone on for the past two nights, but I think I know why it's happening. Rudy has developed a bit of a flat spot on the back of his head. He strongly prefers looking to the right, no matter how much I move his head or try to entice him with exciting things to look at on the left side. I recently started worrying about this more and got a little bit scared that he was going to have to wear one of those helmets that kids have to wear 23 hours a day for 3-6 months until their head becomes round again. (Josh says I worry too much about everything, but I'm a mom, that's my job, right?) Everything I read said not to let him put any pressure on the flat spot. So at night I have been putting him down slightly slanted and turning his head to the left so that it is pretty hard for him to turn it to the right. He fights so hard to turn it the other way that he breaks out of his swaddle and then gets up every three hours. So pray for us that tonight goes a little better!
Rudy also had a bit of a rough morning. His dog-brother jumped on him and scratched his leg:( Rudy cried prettty hard for a few minutes and then whimpered for about a half an hour before he decided that he better sleep it off. Poor guy:(
