Thankfully the fever left yesterday after another night of playing “steamroller”. At least Hubby went to “A”‘s room so “J” and I had the bed to ourselves to not really sleep. Yesterday we had a sick day. We didn’t go out and we had lots of juice and movies. And a NAP!!!! Phew, I didn’t know how I was going to make it through the afternoon when all of a sudden “J” fell asleep. So of course, I did too 🙂
Last night was completely back to normal, “J” stayed in his own bed and slept right through. Even if right through is until 4:45am, I was much happier with that than not sleeping all night. This morning he looks much better and hopefully his runny nose will only last a day or two, hopefully. Will definately go out today at least for some fresh air and a change of scenery.
Now, I will wait until Hubby wakes up as he was grumbling about being sick on his way to bed.
I feel terrible that I have been absent this past week. I have been dealing with “J” no longer napping and readjusting my work schedule. All of a sudden “J” just stopped napping. He went from two hours every day to not! And he is not sleeping in any later (except today) than usual so I am wondering how he will continue to function without twelve hours of sleep. There were a few exceptions when he would fall asleep in the car and I would transfer him to his bed, but just as I was shutting his door he would be wide awake and on his way downstairs again. He did have a nap on Saturday, but he stayed up late that night so it was cancelled out.
I used to do a large portion of work during his naptime, it was basically half my day’s worth, so I have found that I am falling behind. I was able to work for a couple of hours last week while “J” played with his trains, but he isn’t always in the mood to let “Mommy work”. So I will have to see if I am able to keep this up or not.
Then, the fever started. Last night around midnight “J” climed into bed with me a fell asleep. At first I thought it was morning, but when he fell asleep I realized that it was still night. I reached over to pick him up and transfer him back to bed when I felt his tummy and he was burning up. I waited until he woke up (20 min) and gave him some medicine. Two hours later, he fell back asleep using my knees as a pillow and putting his burning hot feet on my neck. But, he was asleep and stayed that way all night. It was me that had a hard time hetting back to sleep, I didn’t want to move him for fear of him not falling back to sleep, and Hubby kept trying to push me back over on my side of the bed. I was a human sandwich! Tonight if we have a recap, I will go sleep in “J”‘s room with “J”. The fever stayed at bay until 4pm when it came back. “J” was asleep by 6pm and hopefully will be better in the morning.
I have wonderful cake photos to post, but will have to wait until the morning 🙂
