Recently, I have been so sleepy! In the past week, e fell down one step and hit her mouth on the floor resulting in a big busted up bottom lip and bloody upper gums. Her upper gums were caked with dark blood and i worried all night that she would lose her two front teeth. She saw two nurses and they told us just to keep an eye on it but not to worry about losing the teeth. Then, she had a low-grade fever of about 100 on Saturday or Sunday; I cannot remember which day. On Saturday, I was ill with an upset stomach and tried to rest between bathroom trip. Lovely. Then, on Monday (4 month birthday of babe love), after a hearty lunch, e was sitting on a sofa when she yelled out for me. She told me that the "place was spinning. make it stop. i don't like it." i held her close in my lap and she was immediately better. it passed really quickly with no other symptoms. we called the pediatrician anyway and they gave us a list of things to ask her about and look for over the next few days. they told us we could come in but it wasn't too big of a deal for kids to get dizzy every once in a while and since there were no other symptoms, not to worry at this point. i won't bore you with all of the details of what they said. yesterday in the late afternoon, after not really eating much, e told us her tummy was hurting and began to have an evening of "the runs". poor babe. i wanted to take her to the ped today but hubs thought she was doing fine. she did have a great day. we may take her in tomorrow though, still!
those things have contributed to an unsettled mama. and...my doula client may go into labor soon! whenever i am awaiting an impending labor it feels like christmas eve; i am so excited to get the phone call that i have a hard time resting. but, i know resting is EXACTLY the one thing i need to do so i can be alert and helpful for my client. After this post, I will be trying to fall asleep. wish me success.
