Ah, what a week it's been. Being on call and being a mom definitely don't mesh well! Laura has been sleeping poorly (waking up lots) for the past month or so....I think her 4 month growth spurt lasted a full month long! Then last wednesday night...she decided to sleep from 9:30-3:30! woohoo! a 6 hour stretch of sleep! :) ... BUT... did I get to take advantage of that time and get some solid sleep myself? Nope. Had to go out from 10-11:30pm and do an assessment for being on call! Grr! And usually being on call isn't bad overnight, but it seems this week, everyone has been needy during the night :)
Took Laura swimming again on Saturday morning. Rachel and Logan went with us. Laura was in for maybe 15 minutes, then got hungry. Got out to feed her and by the time she was done eating, Logan was shivering and Laura had passed out asleep on my lap. Ended that play date pretty early. came home and got some lunch and Laura grabbed a 45 minute nap. Then it was off to a baby shower for Tracy... and typically, Laura would be happy and smiling, but she screamed and fussed the whole 2.5 hours we were there!
I have a really good idea what was going on with her now... she got the sickies that all the kids at daycare have had for the past 2 weeks. Saturday evening she started in with this loose sounding cough :( Besides taking a long time to quiet her down for bed and naps though, she's tolerating it pretty well. No fever. We were at Richie's parents house on Sunday afternoon and poor Laura cried practically the whole time we were there. Got her home and gave her some tylenol and once she finally calmed down she was in bed for the night.
Luckily though, her cold isn't keeping her awake overnight much. Last night she was up 3 times to eat but I think that's because during the day she's been so unhappy that she's just taking enough to take away the real hungry feeling and not eating much. She's teething too...I'm pretty sure. Chowing down on her fists, drooling a LOT and stuffing any/all toys in her mouth.
This morning Laura woke up with a head full of stuffies along with the loose cough. I couldn't send her to daycare feeling all sick...I'd call out from work it I sounded like that, so we're both home today. No doctor visit though. Like I said - no fever, lungs sound clear...she just doesn't feel well :(
Oh, but in the exciting news category... she rolled over back to front yesterday! Nobody saw it though! I put her on her back (naked) in her room and went to change my clothes...I came back and she was on her belly!
Off to get her...she's crying - just woke up from a nap.

Oh, I hope she feels better!
I have been reading yours too! Laura is such a cutie...and beautiful! (I'm not just saying it either!) I love checking in to see the pictures and how she's growing!
Thanks for reading my posts. I feel really special that you'd want to read! I would like to talk with your mother in law...was that who you said? Of course I just forgot. Maybe I could send her an email? Thank you so much for your help...and your support!!
