The past couple of days have been
rough. Lonnie was off work from the 21
of December till January 1. He left at 4pm on Jan 1 to head back out of town
for work ( and will not be home till January 10th L) and since then Haley
has had some major separation anxiety. About 10 minutes after he left I think
she realized that he wasn’t coming right back she started screaming and
crawling to the door calling for him and its been like that since he left. For
the past 2 days she will not let me put her down. If she does let me put her
down if I start to walk away no matter where it is she starts screaming all
over again. I feel bad for her because I know she doesn’t really understand what
is going on and I’m trying super hard not to stress or get annoyed but man it’s
really starting to get to me.
It doesn’t help that on top of him
being gone she has a cold or it's either teething one. She has a snotty nose and
cough. She has had a fever off and on since 2 days before the first. And she has had diarrhea. Well I don’t really
think you can count it as diarrhea, but Haley is normally a every other day
girl and for the past weeks it’s been as many as 4-6 times a day. She is still
eating and drinking and breastfeeding as normal so I’m not worried about her
getting dehydrated or anything but it’s just taking its toll on me.
At least she did sleep through the
night for the most part. She woke up at 4am breastfeed and then went back to
sleep till 7am. Which is great considering that past 4 night she been up about
ever hour or so do to her snotty nose and dirty diapers and just not feeling
well. She has also gone down for a nap so far this morning. It was only a hour
but better than nothing. I have to say though I love when she wakes up whether
it be morning time or from her naps. Reasoning being is because she will lay
her head down on my shoulder and give me a hug and look at me and give me a
huge smile and kiss me which makes the worst day immediately better.
My hope is that in the next couple
of days things start to calm down and we can get back on our make shift schedule
that we had going before Thanksgiving and Christmas and all of that. We have
been on the go so much since Thanksgiving that it has messed her napping schedule
all up. Hopefully the separation anxiety will calm down too. She has never had
it before so I’m hoping it does not stick around for long. I hope everyone has
a great day. I’m off to take care of Haley is at this very moment is pulling up
on my pants leg crying wanting in my lap!
