Baby Belle has been sick for 2 1/2 weeks. She has hardly eaten (no more than a few ounces at a feeding) in over 4 days. She grabbed a slab of ham off of my plate at dinner and gnawed on it. While we momentarily questioned this for a multitude of reasons, we decided she was actually quiet and enjoying herself, so we'd just keep our eyes on her and let her gnaw away. I put her in her highchair and had a whopping 5 minutes to gobble my dinner before she was screaming again. She has been doing this completely insane scream. I mean SCREAM! cry. It's horrible. We don't know why. I am giving her until Thursday to get better -- meaning eating, not screaming, NOT waking up 5 times a night. If she is not better, back to the doctor. Something else has got to be wrong. Poor Baby Belle. I hope her immune system is busy building itself up and that in a year or two she will not have any more illnesses, or the ones she does have will be very short and mild. She has earned some times of good health at some point.
Clara Belle spent Saturday couch ridden with a fever. She was much better Sunday, still has a tiny upset tummy, but no other symptoms. What is going on around here? And now Big Belle just walked in her after her bath with a bloody nose. Ew.
It's 7:27, and I honestly will probably be in bed in an hour. I'm all for early bedtimes as Chris is getting up at 5 for work now days, and my alarm isn't far behind him at 5:30, but with Baby Belle up so much it's just a necessity.
I'm trying not to be such a negative ninny, so I would like to leave you tonight on a good note....In just a few days, some one will be turning another year older! Her hearts desire right now is bringing cupcakes to school. So we'll be getting things ready for that soon.
Happy almost 3 Clara Belle!!!!
