there’s nothing worse than a sick baby. there are several degrees of sick, of course. so far i’ve been really lucky- E’s issues finally manifested itself in the form of the green nosed snot monster. he’s plugging her nose, and telling her to feel really bad so she can scream and give mommy a headache.
*crosses fingers* she seems to be a little better this morning. no, she doesn’t look any better- in fact she looks awful. (baggy eyes, really runny nose, cough) she got just as little sleep as i did last night. but she is sitting in her playpen poking at her toys while saying (saying, not screaming) “dadadadadadadada”.
don’t get too excited. it’s not her first word; it’s just a phrase she just happens to like a lot.
oh, and we managed to get a whole 2 hours of sleep last night after i finally managed to get her to choke down some tylenol.
we’ll see how today goes. no going to the doctor for us- i’m not stupid enough to think they’ll be able to do anything for her now, and i’m not wasting a copay.
until next time.
