We have a sicky. Again.
This time there is no cough, just a slight fever and sometimes runny nose. There is also a baby who cries in her sleep and wakes up at 10:30pm. 12:00am, 3:00am, and 6:00am.
We haven't had a night like that for at least the last 5 months. It was terrible. The worst part is that I have no idea what's wrong. Anyone out there who wants to throw in a guess is welcome to. I'm thinking we might be teething (G's 3rd tooth- a top one is coming in and its HUGE). This is WAY worse than when the bottom 2 came in, but maybe that's because it is bigger? There's no ear grabbing, just lots of fussing and crying every time I put her down. I think I fell asleep sitting up holding her last night. It's frustrating and extremely sweet all at the same time. I secretly love a clingy baby who needs her momma to feel better.
I'm actually working from home today and although she's been acting more normal when she's awake, Grace has slept the majority of the day so far. Making up for last night I guess? I keep obsessively checking in on her and she looks fine. Her fever is down too.
I'm surviving on a pot of coffee and indulging in some delirious online retail therapy. So far Banana Republic and Ann Taylor have benefited from last night's situation. D will be out until late for work again. Lucky. (JK, he'll be doing land navigation in the woods. THAT sucks.) I don't do well on little sleep. Can you tell?
If you'd like to throw some prayers our way or let me in on baby whisperer secrets, that would be almost as awesome as my new purchases. ;) No really. Someone tell me what to do.
xo,

We've had nights like that. I swear by a little Children's Advil and maximum dose Orajel.
