Slowing Down

I feel like Jasper's progress has slowed down. He was gaining weight so well, rolling over, etc. and then he got hit with RSV and an ear infection. It's been nine days, he's been on meds since last Thursday, but it seems like it's never going to end. Jaz is still sleeping in his own room, but per doctor's orders, is sleeping in his car seat instead of his crib so he can breathe easier. I'm sleeping propped up too due to my own congestion, but I'm barely getting any sleep because Baby is waking every 2-3 hours instead of the every 4-5.5 hours he was doing before. Yesterday he was wide awake by 5am and today by 4:30am. Meanwhile, I feel a little overwhelmed as I've taken on three new projects on top of trying to get my little lovey-dove healthy. Missing theater, I auditioned for a musical revue and landed a lead singing part! I'm super excited to perform, but it has been sooooo long and I'm a little rusty. Also, I'm consulting and doing work for TV Guide Network's red carpet shows again this season. I'm a little bummed I won't be on site for show days, but I'm not ready to leave Jasper for that long yet. Fortunately, I still get to be a part of the show in some capacity. Thirdly, my old preschool asked me to return on Fridays for 45 minutes to teach P.E. to the Kindergarteners. They offered to watch Jaz for that time and I accepted. Each of those activities got me really excited and I definitely want to do all of them, but I just got this feeling that I suddenly took on too much too fast. I know I can do it and I will. I'm sure I'll be glad I did them all and when they're done, I'll probably find something else to beef up my activity schedule. Everything starts in February, so I'm REALLY hoping Jasper fully recovers this week. Adam's busy schedule calms down come February which means I'll have some help.
