Sleep Deprivation Weekend

Thursday night/Friday morning little bug woke us up at 1 am after she had gotten sick in her crib. She got sick all over her sleep sack, sheets, and daddy since he had picked her up. We put her in bed with us, but no amount of brushing her teeth and changing her clothes could get rid of the stench so we put new sheets on her bed and put her back down by herself. Daddy stayed home with little bug on Friday.

During the day she acted fine, except that she wasn't eating. Not even pot stickers for lunch when we went to a Chinese restaurant with friends. Little bug usually can eat her weight in anything that resembles a dumpling, so we knew there was something wrong. She was up crying a little bit on Friday night and then moped around the house most of the day on Saturday, again, not eating. I called the doctor's office and the nurse said I was around the 10th caller with the same symptoms, it was only 9am. We gave her pedialyte which she hated - so we switched her over to lactose free milk to try to not upset her tummy.

Then Saturday night she decided to wake up every few hours and cry unless we were holding her, and she was out of her bed. We finally got her to go to sleep in our bed, but that means random kicks to the ribs. Needless to say, I'm thankful that she's feeling better today and I have my fingers crossed that she'll sleep tonight.

On a lighter note, she's figured out how to climb onto the couch by herself. I was doing dishes and usually can let her run around without checking on her. She was quiet (never good), so I looked in the living room and she was laying on the couch staring at the ceiling. She didn't like the 'here's how to get off the couch' lesson as much as she likes climbing up on it. She also learned how to take off her sleep sack. I went to get her up from a nap since I heard her talking to herself and walked into her room to find her standing up, talking to her stuffed bear, with her sleep sack folded up in the corner of her crib.
