Pooks Growing Pains

Let me start by saying I truly can not complain my daughter is truly amazing. At 2 months was doing 5-6 hours of sleep. For the most part communicates well with me about her needs and feeling etc. BUT, why does it seem that when I am high stressed is when she decides to have issues...now take the she decides lightly. My poor 3 year old trapped in a 5 year old body (super tall) goes through growing pains. and last night boy was it a pain to both of us. started at 11:38 PM and did not end til 4 AM. almost hour for hour there was screaming it hurts, at one point brought her to my bed that didn't help much either. Finally sucked it up and gave her medicine and wallllllaaaaaa she went to sleep. These are the nights that i miss Joe a lot. sometimes i just need that tag team partner to roll over to and say "I can't get up anymore" So in stead I lay in bed and say "Joe, please send her some healing powers ASAP." Luckily she slept in til 8:20 AM, which so far seems to be enough for my body, and woke up just fine. Gotta love her.

  1. Your doing a brilliant job...I hope you know that in your head and in your heart! Maybe a nice warm bath at night with some lavender bubble bath would help sooth her...

  2. Poor baby! When Frances was getting those we use to wrap her legs with an ace bandage and put warm lil compresses on them. Try that and I'm sure with the medicina that will put her on her back...
