Occasionally at night, I wonder what I got myself into. Ecclesias is difficult to placate in the night, and both my hubby and I are short on patience and sleep.
The little one is also very short on patience. It doesn't take seconds after he wakes for his muffled cries to turn into loud wails. He cries so hard that he gasps for breath soon after, while still maintaining the volume. It is also very alarming to watch his face turn scarlet.
However, once he has satiated himself, either on breastmilk, or formula feed (often, as all three of us run out of patience), he gives this very rewarding smile in between his burps.
"I'm worth all the trouble," it seems to say. And my heart just melts, and all the frustration is forgotten.
