The last few days have been completely exhausting! I'm seriously wiped out. Brooke has had diarrhea and no appetite for the past three days, so I think her belly has been upset. As you can imagine, she's been grumpy too and grumpy babies make sleepy mamas! Luckily, though, she's been sleeping like a champ still, which is definitely my saving grace. I also think she has her eye-teeth coming in so I've been keeping on top of giving her Tylenol to help her out. She woke up at 9:15 this morning, had a non-runny diaper, ate an entire egg, and has been happy since so thankfully the worst is over! My happy baby is BACK!!!!
To add to all of that, I've also been kind of sick:-( I've had horrible allergies that have caused me to wake up with difficulty breathing and congestion. That's the worst! My eyes are pink from being so irritated and I can't wear my contacts, so I'm walking around with my glasses on, feeling frumpy and ugly. I also have another UTI (my 3RD in 3 months) and a low grade fever, so that's annoying too. I went to the doctor today and she put me on an antibiotic for the UTI (and is also referring me to a specialist to figure out the problem) and a whole boat load of medicines that should have my allergy problems cleared up too. When it rains it pours, I tell ya!
In happier news, I am so excited about Brooke's verbal explosion! She's now using two and three word sentences regularly like, "Juice please, Mama." She cracked me up yesterday and said, "Excuse you, Mama." Lol! I love that kid! Her language skills have REALLY taken off yet again and it's a blast hearing what comes out of her mouth. I look forward to watching her getting even more proficient at communicating with me. It's the best!
So you know how we're going to Pittsford Thursday night? Well, John suggested that we leave Brookie with his parents. She sleeps through the night and during the days she's a totally content baby (with the exception of the last few days). I know that she would be totally fine because her grandparents are great with her, but part of me feels like a bad mom for even thinking about leaving her overnight. John and I love being with our baby and spending time with her so we'll surely miss her if we leave her, but I think it's also important for us to have special things for just the two of us. The hotel is gorgeous and it could be a romantic getaway, but there's also that mother side of me that doubts that I'm not being selfish. I have to come to a decision by tonight and I'm not 100 percent sure what I'll do.
Alrighty, I'm off to relax before my princess wakes up from her nap.
