Sleep is Goooood

Thank you everyone for your well wishes on Baby Bean's behalf. Can I just say Wednesday was by far my worst day as a mother? Not because I was fed up or hating it, but because it was killing to me see my child so sick and in such discomfort. It absolutely broke my heart.

I took this picture of her sleeping on my shoulder while we waited for her flu and CBC tests to be completed. I felt so bad for her. I was glad I had taken a blanket to wrap her in while she had to wait undressed to the diaper because the room was freezing.



The flu test came back negative and her CBC was normal. However, her ear infection wasn't clearing up even though she had been on antibiotics for days, so they treated her to a nasty double injection of antibiotics, one in each leg simultaneously. I felt HORRIBLE holding her hands as the two nurses rammed needles full of thick antibiotics into her legs. I held her tightly to me afterward and tried to soothe her screams. She calmed down pretty quickly and then went right back to sleep.

The fantastic news is the antibiotics did their job. Her ears and sinuses cleared up that night, and for the first time since she started daycare we both slept through the night. For once we weren't both up every two hours with me soothing her back to sleep. Happily, she has slept through every night since. She is doing much better and is back to her happy self. You'd never know she was sick last week.

On a separate note, when I was downloading the above picture from my phone, I came across these pictures from her birthday and had to share them.

I am so ready to do this again!
