Glider!

So last night my cousin turned 9!! I went over and the baby started to get a bit fussy, so I rocked him in there glider and in 2 minutes flat..he fell asleep! IT WAS A MIRACLE!! So today, I am going to buy one. I don't care how much they cost I'm sick of trying to get him to fall alseep for like an hour or so...this is what I need. I need a break from a screaming fussy exhausted baby. If this works then yayy! If not then check it off the list. It's worth a shot. Does this sound like a desperate exhausted mother who hasn't slept in 6 months? Because if it does then I have hit the nail on the head! I am soooo freakn tired. But enough about me and my sleep deprivation. Eventually I'll get to sleep again RIGHT?! Ohh and did I mention that he sick? Because he is soo sick. Sneezing and coughing and has a runny nose and is constipated. And FUSSY!!! Last night seth had comedy and someone had locked the door so when he came home he had to knock and I honestly don't remeber letting him in or going back to bed or anything like that. It's getting to the point where I am like in a fog. I honestly feel like my life is passing me by, like I am having an outer body experience. If I could just SLEEP things would be eaiser. Why not get a baby sitter you ask? I mean I do live with my parents, Im sure that my mom would take him for a bit....well she is going for her masters, working 40 hours and yeah...when I am not in his view he screams. Soo needless to say I need to be RIGHT there holding him. Why don't I sleep when he sleeps you ask? He needs to be rocked to sleep and then I have to hold him, and sitting up sleeping is not comfortable for me and sleeping for only 30 minutes at a whack is not good enough either. Something needs to change, we are both sleep deprived. At night he will lay next to me and nurse and drift off, but during the day he wont. I hope this glider is MAGIC and can make my restless baby sleep. It did last night..it a strange house with people including myself talking. The kid wont even nurse in public, and he just drifted off.....cross your fingers for me please. Its been a long 6 months....
