In just 19 days, my little lady bug will be 1! Can you believe it? I've been so blessed over the last 11 months to have such a happy, healthy baby.
Aside from diaper rash, and ezcema, we've stayed away from the doctor since the day she was born. Unfortunately yesterday, Alex had her first sickness. It was just horrible :( It's hard to explain to a little one why Mommy can't fix it and make it all better. She wouldn't sit on the floor and play, she wouldn't even play with her favorite...books! She laid in Daddy's arms for 3 and a half hours straight while she just slept, and moaned. Daddy tried to get up to go to the bathroom, and Alex just had a death grip on his shirt..."Don't put me down."
I got home from work, and took over sick duty. She had those droopy puppy dog eyes, a stuffy nose, a cough, and was warmer than my coffee that morning. I felt so helpless that there was nothing I could do. I just held her in my arms, and she even rejected her wubbanub (pacifier.) She kept moaning, and whimpering, and would look up at me and want me to make it all go away. It killed me that I couldn't even explain to her there was nothing Mommy could do.
It's such a great feeling that she still needs Mommy even though she's already becoming so independant, but it's so hard to see her so sad and yucky.
I love you lil mama! I'll continue to do my best to make you comfortable!
