mommy does NOT like being sick

May 14, 2009

It was another very long day. Mommy is officially sick -- headache, stomach hurting and throat killing me. Woke up this morning feeling horrible and Lil Miss didn't seem to feel much better. So we took Daddy to work (he's filling in at Blue Lagoon again, but not as many days (only 4 a week) and promises that if they start stressing him out again he'll leave for good) and then Lil Miss and I went down to work to see if Charles had left anything for me (he's in trial this week). We finished up what he'd left for me and then came home cause I felt horrible and she was fussy, I think her tummy still hurt.

On the way home, we stopped to see Daddy and let him know and a guy he works with said his son went through the same thing and they switched him to soy formula and that helped. So we're trying that. She eats it just fine and I can't tell if her tummy hurts less, but she wasn't quite as fussy this afternoon and she's asleep now.

We'll see.

Looking at her Daddy. It's one of her favorite things to do.

So Lil Miss and I came home. I was hoping to maybe get a nap, but she decided that wasn't happening. She was happy to sleep when I was awake, but the second I would try to nap, she'd wake up screaming. Never failed. So I gave up and just cleaned the house and walked her a lot and read to her and played with her. We had "Mommy and Me" time today. Lots of it. And while I love it, all I wanted was sleep.

Guess I should get used to this, huh?

So Lil Miss has learned, however, to put herself back to sleep if something wakes her up, which I think is cool and a good thing for her to know. Someone a week or two ago suggested that we start putting her in bed when she's sleepy and almost asleep, but not quite there yet, and it would teach her to help herself fall asleep. I guess it worked.

Also, I have a new favorite sound. Like I've said before, Lil Miss talks a lot and I love it. Sometimes she makes this sound that reminds me of Boo is Monsters, Inc. imitating the monsters or like a dinosaur or something. I call her my little dinosaur when she does it. But she also makes this absolutely adorable cooing sound that I just love and can't get enough of. I wish I could record it and put it on my phone as a ringtone -- I love it that much.

But right now? It's sleep time.

My Lil Miss, finally asleep (this was just five, maybe ten, minutes ago)
