I've been spoiled by a VERY healthy, happy and good sleeping baby...until 2 days ago.
Little O has either developed a nasty cold or is cutting some wicked teeth because she is just not herself. This picture is her SNUGGLING with me. And for those of you who know Olivia know that that is out of the ordinary. She loves being held but try to snuggle with her? NO WAY. She's also been sleeping through the night since 5 weeks old. I'm talking 10-12 hours straight. So the last few days has thrown our little family through a loop!
I'm having a little bit of mom guilt because I took her swimming for the first time on Saturday. Which she LOVED, but it was a tad on the cold side. Am I such a bad mom? Did I make her sick? And to top it off, I accidentally gave her Benadryl on Saturday when she started getting a fever and acting really fussy. I thought it was Tylenol. Then I couldn't figure out why she was so hyper and wouldn't sleep when she was clearly exhausted. Benadryl has the opposite affect on O than it does on most kids. Worst mom ever. Good thing I figured it out THE NEXT DAY!
Hopefully she'll forgive me. I did stay up with her A LOT last night (so did daddy). So hopefully that goes a ways in her forgiving me.
Being a mom is hard sometimes. Like REALLY HARD. But I'm so grateful for it. I can't even count how many times I just ached to hold my own little baby in my arms. Sick or not:)
I mean look at that cute baby all ready for the pool!
Hopefully she gets over this little sickness before our trip in 2 weeks. We're SO excited to be heading HOME!!!!
