Growth Spurt

I think we may have just come through a growth spurt. Starting on Thursday afternoon, Jude was extra fussy and on Friday and Saturday, the only thing that seemed to console him was to nurse. Literally, he was either nursing or screaming. Awesome.

We canceled our Saturday night supper club plans since no one wants to sit through dinner with a baby screaming in the background (we don't have a choice). Instead, we headed off to the Mall of America (or BFM, if you know what I mean) where Jude's cries were absorbed into the din of the mall-at-large. It was great. We got out of the house and the drive to get there plus the endless array of fascinating lights on the ceiling were just what Jude needed to calm down a bit.

But by Sunday afternoon, Jude was more back to his normal self. He could be awake and content without screaming, though he did want to eat much more frequently. But we made it! And, those fabulous supper club folks? They sent food home with Lindsay on Monday so we got to enjoy most of the dishes, anyway. Yahoo!
