Yesterday and the night before were long. Poor little Elli has caught a nasty cold - and I got some of it too. Her little nose was a constant stream of ooze and by the end of the day yesterday her nose was red from me wiping it all day. It was that annoying nose drip that is like a faucet you can't blow out or turn off - I know because I have it too. Poor thing. Her nose even got bloody last night....not very much....but enough to make us feel even worse for her. She didn't eat well all day, couldn't nurse because it was too hard to breathe, she wouldn't sleep unless I was holding her upright - and then I wasn't allowed to move....only rock...so no napping for mom yesterday. We slept in the recliner last night so that neither of our head would fill up with snot and be clogged for days. It went okay toher than the fact that I need a clock so I know what time it is...gotta know how long I've slept and how much more time I have to do so....but I didn't have one, so I was lost and after I got done thinking about the fact that I need a clock, I was wide awake....but couldn't move because Elli is on top of me. We actually slept okay. It was a little tight because it's not a large recliner by any stretch of the imagination - just a little bigger than a child's recliner it seems like.
Today though, she's not as drippy, and she's not as whiney. I think she is doing MUCH bettter. Good thing because we are going to be in the car for 3 hours to visit Aunt Becky!
Wish me luck!
