She Slept In!

Nadia has been getting up before 6am for quite awhile, but this morning she didn't get up until 7:20. YAHOOOO! She didn't nap well yesterday so we put her to bed earlier than usual, and she fell asleep immediately. She was only up once last night (2am); so she got a lot more sleep last night than she has in awhile - about 12 hours! Ian went in the Nap Nanny a little after 8pm. His norm these days is to spend at least 7 hours in the Nap Nanny over the course of about 10 hours. I thought Nadia was soon to wake up at 5:30 when I finished nursing Ian so I just brought him to bed with me. Had I known Nadia would sleep almost 2 more hours I would have put him back in the Nap Nanny. Nadia still doesn't have an appetite for anything except milk although I did get her to eat a little applesauce as her breakfast this morning. Her nose isn't running as much, and she didn't throw up at all yesterday. She still has a fever (usually over 100 degrees), and her cough is getting worse. Since she slept so well last night I'm not going to attempt a second nap today. Hopefully she'll take a nice afternoon nap. I am also relieved that it doesn't seem like the other 3 of us have caught her bug. I rescheduled Ian's first photo session for next Thursday. Hope Nadia is back to normal by then!!!

Yesterday when I was putting away the new clothes I recently bought into Ian and Nadia's closets, I discovered a box of size 18 month clothes for Nadia that I hadn't put into her dresser yet. OOPS! In the fall I had put all the 12 month winter clothes into her dresser along with the size 18 month sleepers. I totally forgot about these clothes. There were two outfits (one of which she's wearing today) and several pairs of size 18 month pants. The only thing that still fits her in size 12 month are some pants. I guess that's why I hadn't gone to the box yet. The sad thing was that the other 18 month outfit was a Christmas outfit (reindeer). I was just going to have her wear it anyhow since it's still winter, and I think it's cute, but Paul said I should sell it instead on eBay. He's probably right. I paid less than $5 for the outfit so it's not a huge loss, but still I wish she had worn it in December! OOPS! I'll have to be more careful in the future not to do this again. I guess that's one of the possible glitches that comes with purchasing clothing so far in advance.

Ian has taken one nap so far today in the Nap Nanny. Today I took Nadia outside for the first time since church on Sunday. While Ian slept (Paul stayed home today due to the snow we're supposed to get) Nadia and I went to the grocery store, bank, and Italian restaurant (picked up 2 pizzas). Since he's doing so well with the Nap Nanny, that means the next thing to work on is the shield. I want to work on it this weekend. Please pray that I stick with that goal and that we find success!!!
