We have been looking forward to LO's first Christmas for a while now! On the 23rd she had her alone daycare visit, which went terribly, and I felt kind of depressed for the rest of the day. Then things got even better *ugh* Sure enough, Christmas eve, around 2, LO started to get sick. She started with the runny nose and fever. Christmas day was even worse. She was sooooo cranky. And here we are, 6 days later and she is still sick. She is not sleeping well, coughing like crazy, not eating well, etc. Just another reason for me to hate/dread daycare and going back to work, as if I didn't have a million other reasons! Seriously, she spent 4 hours in Daycare over the span of 4 days, and she gets sick for 6 days and counting. Awesome.
Back to Christmas. Hubby had to work until 3pm on Christmas eve, so LO and I spent the day at home, singing Christmas songs, dancing, etc, until she started not to feel well. That night, we went over to my grandmother's house for supper like we usually do. This year we had fried foods for supper, which I hope we don't do again, because my mom and I were not feeling too awesome after all of that grease.....UGH......Onion rings, wings, mozza sticks. We stayed for a bit after but then went home because LO was not in good humor.
Christmas day, LO slept in till 9:00. We got up, ate, fed baby, and then let her open the gifts that Santa and mom and dad had brought her. Hubby and I didn't exchange gifts this year, we just put a few things in each other's stocking. The coolest thing was looking at one of the gift tags that said "To: (LO's name) From Mom and Dad." It was kind of strange. I've been mom for almost a year, but it was still kinda funny to see that, in a good way. And even funnier was the one my hubby made out for her. "To: (LO's name) Love mamamamama and Bab." LOL That's what LO calls us hehe. LO got some clothes that she can grow into, and santa brought her a doll called babbles, I think. Everytime we went to Walmart and walked by this doll, it would babble, giggle, and jump up and down inside of the box, which was shaped like a crib. LO Loved it. She would stare at it, smile and laugh. We weren't going to get it, but on the evening of the 23rd, we were in walmart looking for a better gift for LO. We wanted to get her something better than the toboggan, especially after I had spent more than we anticipated on it, only to have my step-father look at it and say "why did you buy that, we have 2 in the basement?" Ugh. I was not pleased, especially because it was about 10 min after I had picked up LO from her daycare visit.... i was not a happy camper to begin with! But in the end, we did get the doll (she loves it) and we will be taking the toboggan back.
Then we headed off to my grandmother's house to spend Christmas. LO had a good time opening up her presents. She was spoiled this year! I had to laugh at her though, she had a huge pile in front of her, and she would always come to mine and hubby's pile hehe. Poor thing was not herself at all though. SICK. CRANKY. UGH. STUPID DAYCARE. Hubby and I also got sick, but not as bad as her. I am still fighting mine off, but its really not that bad at all.
Boxing day we went down to my MIL place to visit and exchange gifts. LO was still not herself and sick :( Poor thing. I hate it because I never know if I should take her to the Dr or not... So far we have been using tylenol, saline water for her nose and a nasal aspirator. But her cough is getting worse, and it's keeping her up. Last night was not too bad, she was up at 9:30 until 11 ish, but the night before she woke up at 11pm and didn't sleep until after 1:30, and only because I gave up and had her sleep on my chest in the living room. I put her down when I woke up at 4ish.
Well, she is up from her nap, coughing and hacking. Poor thing. Still hoping for a lotto miracle this friday or sat. She'd be much better off not in daycare.
