Another yucky week. Its really time for things to lighted up!!!
So the week started out with LO great-grandmother passing away on monday night. :( I took wed afternoon off and went to the wakes with Hubby. I have never really been part of that kind of thing before. Honestly, the first funeral or wake I had ever been to was after I met hubby, and it was of someone I really didn't know. This was the first time I was "behind the scenes." It was tough to see hubby and his family so sad. :( The funeral ended up being on thursday, which was hubby's birthday! I can't think of a crappier way to spend your b-day. But he was great. He was so strong and never complained or felt sorry that it was on his birthday. He just said "**it happens." The day started out with LO being SOOO cranky! Couldn't figure out what was wrong with her as we tried to get her ready for daycare. I thought it was strange, but thought maybe she was picking up on our feelings, and she is rarely cranky, so I just thought she is allowed to have a cranky day. As we were trying to get her ready and trying to get ready for the funeral, the cat took a big pee on my boots! That set hubby off. :( But really, it wasn't her fault. With all of the crap going on, we forgot to scoop her.... eek! Then he couldn't find his tie, so we had to race around, get baby to daycare and run to the store to get a tie, and then make it down to the church on time. We did. After the funeral, we picked up LO from daycare to bring her down to meet some of the family who had flown in for the funeral. Daycare said she wouldn't sleep (VERY unlike her) and was quite cranky. They said that she was pulling on her ears, but we figured it was teething. So we took her down to the family, which I did not want to do because she was so unlike herself. Well, she pretty much cried the whole time and didn't want to walk, play or anything. She was so tired but wouldn't sleep. So we ended up taking her home. She slept a little in the car, but not much. And she continued to be unlike herself at home, so we took her to ER in a snow storm. Thank goodness, things worked out for us, and we were only waiting in ER for 10 min before we got in!!! UNHEARD OF!!! Turns out, she now has a double ear infection. Poor girl! DR said that the right ear (which was where her ear infection was two weeks ago) was either not cleared up or starting up again. Then he looked in the left ear and said that it was quite infected, bulging, had fluid behind it, etc. He said that's why she wouldn't sleep. When you lay her flat, the fluid would hit the swollen ear drum and would be quite painful. Poor baby girl! She never acted any different until that day! WOW. We got one dose of medication in her, and she was back to her normal self in the morning. Hubby stayed home with her just in case. We took her back to meet the family lastnight and had a nice meal and great conversation with them. She was still a little cranky, but nothing like she was the night before. Last night she was back to sleeping through the night. Ahh. I love my baby girl. She is so good. Even when she is sick, she is still a good baby. So hubby's birthday was not a great one: his grams funeral, taking a sick baby into ER, finding out that I was only getting paid for one week, not the full week we expected...and needed, etc. So I cancelled his birthday and we will celebrate it sometime next week, although not sure how, because we have no money! LOL Oh well. I'll figure it out.
