Well, Maddy officially has a cold. I realized it last night when she started to get a bit of a fever. So she's on Tylanol cold and she's doing OK with it. She was absolutely miserable last night though between 5 and bedtime at 7:30. We did a lot of snuggling and rocking in the chair. I wanted to try to keep her up to see Matt, but that didn't work. He had to sit in on an interview after work hours last night and then stopped as well to get groceries on the way home since I didn't take Maddy.
She woke up about 9:30 last night and you should have seen the grin she gave daddy when he went in to see her! Even though I help a lot with the bedtime routine, Matt is the last one to hold Maddy and lay her down. We say prayers together and I leave the room. I swear she couldn't get rid of me fast enough last night. As soon as prayers were over she was waving bye at me. She wanted her daddy!
This morning has been a lot of the same. We've been doing a lot of snuggling watching TV. She's been drooling a lot since she can't breath very well out her nose so I've had to change her shirt a couple times and use a warm washcloth to clean up her face and chest. I was able to get a load of laundry going although I had to throw it in the dryer since I wasn't sure if it was going to rain. I can't even tell you the last time I ran the dryer. I've been hanging out every time now.
Of course the whole cold thing threw our plans for today off although I'm not sure we would have gone anyway. There was a free children's performance in the park but it's REALLY HOT AND HUMID HERE (feels like 100) and I don't think I would have taken Maddy out in that anyway. Baby Ballet and this weekend are still up in the air. I think this weekend could probably take place just fine, but we'll need to see about Baby Ballet tomorrow. I'd hate to postpone either, but if she's not well and just feeling crappy it's better to just stay home in her own bed.
I was awake last night from 2-3:30 with insomnia. So when the alarm went off at 6:15 I turned it off and went back to sleep. I'm pretty sure it's from being so snuggly with Maddy all day today under a blanket, but I've been SO TIRED. So when she went down for a nap, so did I. Matt offered to let me work out as soon as he gets home today and get my shower then.
I have coffee night tonight with the gals from my mom's group. It will be nice to get together and just hang out for a bit. Mom's Night Out's are a ton of fun, but coffee nights are so nice and casual and because they start at 8 there's no real rush for the door the way MNO are.
Good news! We finally found someone to transplant the tree who seems to know what they are doing! So as soon as we set a date and time we're all set with that. They were very impressed with the job Matt's been doing pruning it and thought the tree was purchased and planted there. But when I said it grew up from a seed right there the guy was pretty amazed.
Well, I should go get the stuff out of the dryer. I hear my Maddypants stirring upstairs so I think she's up. Have a good one!
Tea of the day: Herbal Sugar Plum Spice (I tried to give some to Maddy), Green Chai (trying to wake myself up)
WO of the day: I think I'm going to do elliptical or a video off FitTV when Matt gets home. I'll need to decide before then!
