Happy Weekend Ladies!

H had a fever most of yesterday, woke up at 6:30 and no fever so far. Still lots of snot and a cough, hoping its just the sickness working its way out. Dr office said to call if she woke up with fever, so far so good.

Probably not much on tap today, whats up with all of you??!

Hiding in my room. Today is my day to wake up early with V but dh must have not been able to sleep bc as soon as she woke I heard him in her room on Tue baby monitor. I feel like I should get up too but I'm playing on my phone instead. Nothing planned for today.

Tomorrow we drive an hour to meet MIL and give her V for a week. I'm a mix of anxious and excited. We will join them for memorial day weekend but the 5 days in between will be the longest we have gone without V. She will be playing with granny and her 3 year old cousin/idol in the pool all week weather allowing and I'm sure will have a blast. But..... anxiety still.

I am looking forward to getting off work all week and leisurely making and eating dinner without being constantly asked for cheese and picking food up off the floor when she decides whatever I cooked is not for her.

jt2378 poor H! Hope she starts feeling better soon!

C let me stay in bed until 8 today. I needed it, since DH has been gone all week and I never sleep well when he's away.

We need to clean the house and start packing...we fly home on Tuesday! DH is already there for work.

Finally finished reading the the live baby blog. #worthit! Anyone know her back story? Sounds like she has been through a lot.

@giamia923, holy hell here today too, I'm also hoping its not an ear infection, super fussy and cranky but no fever anymore. I'm wondering if the crankiness is from the steroid from the croup? They said it was a 3 day dosage in one so wondering if its a side effect of it coming out of her system? They did say cranky or moody but not sure how long they meant after. Either way I can't wait to crack open a beer soon, its been a trying week! LOL

Bed time is a fucking disaster. An hour and a half past bed time and she's still awake. Has been hysterical too. Been going in every five min but it seems to be doing more harm than good. Feel like we're starting from scratch here. She's crying so hard she's like chocking on her spit. WTF GO THE FUCK TO SLEEP!!!!!

Maybe she is overstimulated from the excitement the last couple days?? Hoping its not an ear infection, didn't she do this last time she had one?

I'm hoping it's just from the mess up in routine from the festivities. Last time she had an ear infection she'd get up in the MOTN screaming but didn't really have a problem going down. I think I'm going to take her in on Monday just so they can check her ears out. If she doesn't settle down soon I'm contemplating bringing her into bed with me. I can't stand listening to this much more. I really hope it's not an ear infection. Wonder if I should take her to urgent care tomorrow instead? ugh why can't she just go to sleep!!??! she's still so upset

*hugs* that sucks...I feel like something is up if she is still really upset. You might have to bring her in your bed for snuggles. Luckily bedtime has been okay here but she has been so effin cranky. This cold sucks, MH and her have been miserable, really hoping I don't get it

I think C was cranky close to a week after the steroid was given. The dose is effective for 3-4 days, but it definitely affected his mood longer than that. Hope she feels better soon!

Thank you, I have been thinking its that, her canines are also coming in so that is probably contributing to the fun!
