Sick :(

Well, we had a good run! She made it to 8 and a half months before she got sick for the first time. Poor little thing. She had a terrible night sunday night. I ended up sleeping all night with her on the chair. I thought it was because she was so over tired because she didn't get her afternoon nap. At 4am I finally got her sleeping in her crib and climbed into bed. 10m in later, she woke up again. I have to say, I was a little angry. I didn't know she was sick, I thought she was just over tired. So got up and went to her room. By the time I got to her room, I was fine. I picked her up and went back to our chair. This is when she kinda spit up/threw up. It was clear, so I didn't worry, but I immediately felt terrible for being mad about getting up. I even said "Oh I take it back hunny. LOL Then Monday she started with a runny nose, but it was clear so I didn't worry. She seems to get sicker in the afternoons for some reason. Monday and tues afternoon her morning nap was on me. I figure the rules go out the window when she is sick. Poor thing. Tues was much the same. Wed morning, she seemed not too bad, just a bit cranky, so I took her to play group. I should have known right away when I put her in her car seat and she freaked out. She doesn't usually do that, but this time she really freaked out. Play group was a bit better, but I wouldn't let her touch the other kids or have the other kids play with her toys. She did have a fit at one point, which is awesome, because a lot of the moms were new and didn't know my little one, and here she is screaming... I was a little embarressed.... then it didn't get much better when the woman who heads up the play group said "What happened to the sweet little demure girl who slept in mommy's arms all through playgroup a few months ago?" The other woman who runs it said "they grow up!" The first woman went on to say "oh its like a complete personality change." Yeah thanks. It wasn't that bad, but she did used to just sit there through play group, and this day she was crawling around trying to take the woman's paper, and trying to get into things while the other kids just sat there.... haha..... Then there was a little girl who is 2 weeks younger than mine who is practically walking! Her mom puts her fingers out and the LO grabs on and walks around. If I try to hold on to my LO hands, she immediately plops down on her butt! I felt retarded. And it got better. My friend was there and has a LO who is 2 days younger than my LO. He eats sandwiches? I never have any clue what to feed my LO and when. Turns out I am behind I guess. So yeah, yesterday just sucked. It made me feel terrible and that I am not where I should be with introducing her food. Everywhere I look I get a different story on what I should be feeding her!?! Its so frustrating. I think I'm going to say to hell with it and give her a steak tonight.

After play group, I got her home and noticed that she was sort of wheezing when she plays. But only when she is excited. Last night we gave her some saline drops to loosen up her nose. WELL. She screamed murder. Seriously, I thought our neighbors were going to come over to see what was going on.... last night she had a rough night too. She had a bit of diarrhea. So I'll see what goes on this afternoon and decide if I will take her into the clinic tonight or not. Ugh poor girl. Oh, did I mention I'm sick too?
