Yesterday was a tough day on Liam & me - he fought every nap, cried while playing with his toys, cried lying down, cried sitting up, fussed at nursing, but did well with his 'food' - just a tough day.
He went down for his last nap at 5:30pm and didnt wake up until 3:30am. WHAT? He went down in his clothes but thankfully I had nursed him (as much as he would 'allow') before his "nap". He did wake up around 10:30 but didnt utter a PEEP. It freaked us out because he just started playing with his Neptune music crib thingie and that's all we heard over the monitor! Not one sound - minus the 2 sneezes - out of him and then he went back to sleep after about a 1/2 hour. WEIRD. He did EXACTLY what we wanted him to do BUT we didnt get the chance to put him in PJs and he didnt 'request' any food...
Finally at 3:30am he wakes up, nurses and goes back to sleep until 6:20 (UGH), or as I like to call it O'dark thirty. And then he was UP cause jesus, he'd had over 12 hours of sleep! I got in the shower after nursing him & left him with Daddy, fixed some coffee and then he was downstairs after "asking for" me (rolls eyes). We had stretch time & cereal (double serving) and then some avocado cause he was still asking for more UM UM...
And now he's napping (or noni as we say in our casa) - let's see how long that lasts for! Matias put him down so I'm not positive what time he went down actually...
Let's hope today is not a repeat of yesterday - it was hard on him to be so unsettled about every single thing he did (and let's not lie here, it was hard on me too). Yesterday was a total Woe is Me Day. Matias has been working somewhat "regular" hours lately too so not only do I have a whole weekend with just Liam & myself but I've been solo from waking till after bedtime for the past two days. And that is unusual for us - I usually get to clock out around 6:30PM and then just take care of his (Liam's) dinner and I can get various 'breaks' throughout the day if Matias is working from home, but those dont normally extend past doing the dishes without Liam in the same room, or taking a shower without rushing through it all...so this non-stop business has been tough & I'm wondering if he also misses his little chance times with Daddy throughout the day and at night...

Sounds like he might be teething or an outside chance that he may have a little cold? Nine times out of ten when Matthew was that age that is what was bothering him but I remember feeling the EXACT same way.
Just a side note, I spent my first real time alone with Matthew when he was four weeks old and I almost went out of my mind. Kevin had a WEDDING to go to... GRRR... I told Kevin if we have another he will not do that again, I do not care whose wedding it is! LOL.
SO I do appreciate how you are feeling about this coming weekend. I would suggest making sure to plan to get out at least once or twice each day - that is how I made it through long stretchs of being alone with Matthew. It is not that I did not enjoy my time with him because I did but you can also do so many tummy times, bouncer times, etc before you start to get a little hinky. My favorite things to do were visiting with friends OR mall walking.
Hope it helps!

I do think we are more firmly placing our feet in Teething Territory! He ended up sleeping from 9:30-11something this morning!! Now he's happy as a clam and as normal as could be...
