columbus day
Yay for Columbus. It means no work for me today. I’m just chillin’ at home with the girls today. It’s like stepping back into summer cause it’s so warm. Although none of us is in that routine anymore. Clara’s got something again…runny nose, warmish, stinky poos, cranky.
She’s had another bout of throwing up in bed in the last couple weeks–a couple nights here and there where she cries and throws up. It seems to help to limit her milk intake before sleep. Also having to re-teach sleep routines and good sleep habits. One night I was putting her to bed and tired of going in and out and so I stayed in and rocked her to sleep. My foot fell asleep. I was exhausted and fell asleep in the rocking chair too… Then woke and stood to put her in her crib. My leg dropped out from under me and I almost dropped her. My foot hurt really badly and I was trying to be quiet while I leaned on her crib and laid her down. Then I hobbled to my bed and cried while my foot turned purple. I thought maybe I broke it but the ER trip the next day revealed no broken bones. I guess it’s only sprained. It still hurts to walk on, but what can I do? Can’t lay around all the time. Last night was another bad night of sleep. Not sure if she’s got an ear infection, teething, or just doesn’t want to fall asleep alone.
What else? Went to the dentist and got my trays again. I hate invisilign. I remember now why I quit wearing them. They hurt. They are a pain. Glad I only have 5 months of them this time. Then never again.
Took the girls to the apple festival in Long Grove a week ago. Fun times. Then yesterday we went to the petting zoo and pumpkin patch. Afterwards we went to a little airport by us to eat lunch. The girls were entertained with the planes taking off and landing while we waited for our food and ate. My dad has flown into this airport a few times when my parents have visited, so we’d been there before. Was strange to be there without meeting anyone. I have pictures on my smugmug, but it’s password protected now. I have been feeling like it’s time to limit who can see what because the girls are getting older. I still want pics out there so family and friends can see but don’t want total strangers perusing. Send me an email or message to view. I did put them on Facebook because it’s more private than here.
Clara is talking so much. I’m so bad about recording what she says. She picks up a lot from Hannah. I’m going to watch her this afternoon with a notebook and pen in hand to record what she says. Will share later.
Well, I’m exhausted. I was up with Clara from 2:30-5 am, and then Hannah got up at 5:15 to pee and ask for milk. I think now that they are asleep for nap, I better rest myself.
