Just as predicted, the last few days have been the longest days since Nyla has been born. Poor girl is just not feeling herself. She's still stuffy and has a little hoarse voice, so when she cries it is heartbreaking. And she's got a little cough so she sounds extra pathetic. Poor babygirl!
You know who else? Poor mommy and daddy! It has been disastrous with her being sick. She's not sleeping, we're not sleeping. She's fussy, we're fussy. Last night, Nylabelle decided that she wouldn't fall asleep until after 2! She was tired though; there was lots of eye rubbing and face burying into my shoulder. But she was so uncomfortable with her sickness (I'm guessing) that she was not falling asleep! The night before, homegirl woke up every two hours...all night long! It's like we're at the newborn stage again!
You know what is disgusting though? Baby boogers. Gross. Yeah, she's my child, but it's still heinous. And her nose is all red from me wiping it all the time. I was trying to figure out what to put underneath her nose to ease the chafing. I didn't want to put petroleum jelly because the pediatrician said that it's not good if she digests it. So what did I end up putting under her nose? My nipple cream! That sounds disgusting, but it's the jelly that keeps your nipples from cracking during breastfeeding. Worked under her nose like a charm. Now, no one go and tell her that she has titty cream on her face please.
