Pamela H in Texas Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Baby is up screaming. She went down at her normal time though I did feel something was off with her. I was afraid she'd wake up at 10 or 11, but it wasn't that big of a deal. Except she has cried nonstop since 10:30 (drank about 6oz of formula before that). There were big changes in her life today: daycare, they gave her peas, she had to get up much earlier than she's used to, etc. But daycare said she did very well (and I've known the daycare teacher for like 10 years so I trust her). The real issue is that we have a crazy life and can't go without sleep. It's 11:30 and hubby's alarm goes off at 3:30. I had THE worst day with the other littles today. Tomorrow we have ELEVEN appointments (most come to the house). Eleven! I have to be able to function and I can imagine the littles won't have some major revelation about rules, life, abuse, etc overnight. Basically, we need SLEEP. Someone make her happy (and asleep).

Little Nyssa Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I have no help except :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug: sleep, baby!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tntgoodwin Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Can you take her for a drive in the car, maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extendedforecast Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 This might sound crazy, but I'd give baby a nice warm bath to help tire her out, then maybe a quick massage with lotion and off to bed again. It usually works for mine, unless she's coming down with something. And I've noticed this happens when the schedule changes too much or I'm really stressed out. Best wishes.

arghmatey Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Maybe she's having an allergic reaction to the peas. How's her temperature? Maybe she's having reflux. Will she not fall asleep or not stay asleep? Prayers and hugs for y'all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsquirrel Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 peas are fiberriffic. She might have gas. Ouch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoxcell Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Yes do give her a warm bath. It should help to settle her down. Also if you have any of those baby gas drops you might try those. If it were me and I needed the sleep I would just bring baby to bed with me and call it a night.;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wy_kid_wrangler04 Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 peas are fiberriffic. She might have gas. Ouch. If its gas, rub her tummy and life her legs to help move it out. Rub her tummy in firm circles :grouphug: to you!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arghmatey Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 If you think it's gas, I agree with a bath, then bicycling her legs, and patting her tummy to soothe her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carpe Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I agree with the gas remedies. And hopefully that's the problem, and all of you get some sleep tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamela H in Texas Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 Thanks y'all. Unfortunately, I think we've found the culprit. She and her brother's noses are now nasty. They have some icky coughs. She is in bed and I'm not messing with her til she cries again, but her brother has a 102.2 temperature. Seems we have two sick babies :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pamela H in Texas Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 So now my throat is scratchy and I have a little gunk. Toddler is sleeping on couch (a tad restlessly). Baby coughs briefly every 20 min or so. Hubby's alarm didn't go off and he's still in bed. I can't sleep. I wonder how many people will get this. Nine? Ewwww. I can cancel the afternoon therapies (or at least give the therapists the choice). I *really* don't want to cancel morning therapies. The ICU worker will come regardless. I wonder when I'll nap? I'm gonna go gargle with salt water and hope. Just rambling <sigh> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pamela H in Texas Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 And two more green noses woke up this morning. "This is sewious" (Ming Ming). We cancelled all but the ICU worker so that frees up our day. Trying to get an appt for the babies at the foster care clinic. Nap time can't come soon enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UmMusa Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I pray you all go through this smoothly. Can you get a supply of fluids everyone will happily drink like warm apple juice or chamomile tea? Can you diffuse tea tree or lavender oil in the air? I hope you can all just rest today with no appointments and let everyone rest and drink. Take care.
