A Few Late Night Complaints

What was I saying about sleep schedules not being too hard? Little Man has now been up for two and a half hours, and he is still alert! I've tried rocking, feeding, rocking, feeding, changing, getting D to soothe him, letting him chill out, rocking again, sleeping with him next to me and am now just hanging out on the sofa surfing the 'net as he squirms next to me.

Also? He HATES getting his diaper changed and screams bloody murder every time we start to undress him. I guess he hates being cold, but the apartment is warm, and I don't see how else to do it. Any tips? He also hates getting undressed for the bath, but doesn't mind being in it. Still it's such a production, we have only done it twice. Unfortunately, the diaper needs to be changed somewhat more regularly than that.

Also? I bought a really cute cloth diaper from a craftswoman online, and I hate to say it, but it's terrible. All the padding is at the bottom, so it's really not good for a boy, and when I washed it the first time it shrivelled and got really small. On top of all that it felt damp on the outside the first time I used it. It was the last in the stash tonight, so I tried to put it on and got so frustrated I just threw it away. Luckily the dryer buzzed "finished" right then, so LM got a fresh and toasty one. The seller was so helpful and sweet, I kind of feel like I should let her know, so she can improve her product. But I probably won't cause I'm chicken-shit like that. Still, doesn't it suck when you really want to like a product but you can't? Back to mass-produced diaps for me.

Also? One of my breasts is leaking like crazy and he's not hungry! Does the leaking eventually tone itself down or am I bound to sleep in a bra for the foreseeable future? Because I am really not a bra girl... this is the first time I have ever ventured out of the teen section, and real bras are not comfy! I am chafing.

Also? D goes back to work Friday. He is really quite sad about it and so am I.
