Sick Baby
Posted by Maggie Thu, 08 Mar 2007 15:08:00 GMT
My baby is sick. There is never a time when my almost 3 year old is more my baby than when she’s sick. I agonize at every sneeze and cough, when she’s tired and weak and all she wants to do is cuddle in my lap, I gladly take the job. It’s not often that my preschooler really takes time to snuggle anymore. But my heart hurts because I know she’s not her cheerful self. I know that she’d rather be running around the living room, dancing with her daddy.
She also seems to get sick at the worst times. Last time she was sick was when we were in Sacramento for Christmas, it was so hard for her to get the rest she needed to get better, it took a couple of weeks. This time she got sick 2 days before we’re supposed to leave for San Luis Obispo for a wedding. Yesterday we watched videos and I let her sleep as long as she needed and gave her juice in with her water so she would drink more. Today will be more of the same. I’m praying that she will be better for our trip. We haven’t been to San Luis Obispo for a couple of years at least and it will be so good to go back to where we went to school and met each other. There will be some friends there that we haven’t seen since school either, we’re really looking forward to it.
We’re also going to see David, John’s brother, who goes to Cal Poly. Hannah gets to stay with Amu David while we’re at the wedding. It’s very nice of him to be willing to give up his Saturday afternoon to watch his little niece. He’s a very good uncle. We are very fortunate to have such wonderful family, what a wonderful blessing from the Lord.
Another exciting thing is happening this weekend, it is my Cidny’s birthday, and it’s a big one this year. For those of you who don’t know, Cindy is my step mom. But I don’t always like calling her that, because “step mom” often has a bad connotation, and my Cindy doesn’t fall into that category of an “evil step mother”. The Lord has truly blessed our family with her. Cindy, we’ll be thinking of you on Sunday while we eat breakfast in SLO (perhaps at the Apple Farm, yum!). I pray that you have a wonderful birthday and that my other siblings treat you very well! We love you and look forward to seeing you in a couple of weeks when we’re up for Grandma’s birthday.
Speaking of our trip I have much laundry to do and picking up. With Hannah being sick, I’ll also be doing some tomorrow morning before we leave so that way our home is germ free when we come back (hopefully all healthy). Have a great weekend everyone. I’ll write more when we get back and settled.
Sorry Hannah is sick. Having a sick kiddo is no fun. Brooke is sick again too. I'll be praying that Hannah makes a speedy recovery and that you all have a fun and safe trip up to SLO. Wish we had a trip planed to go up there soon. I soo miss it. :) Take care, Robin
Hope you guys have fun and that Hannah feels better soon!
How is Hannah doing? I hope she's all better. Robin
