Is it Jan 10th Yet?!


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!
