Humidifiers are wonderful! Hannah is sleeping peacefully next to me right now. We are still having a problem with her napping during the day though. She still will most often only take long naps if they are on me. As soon as I move her to her crib or pack-n-play, she wakes up within about 15 minutes. Then, at nighttime, she gets so hysterical before finally calming down on me and crashing. Fortunately, around 9:30 PM each night, I am able to put her in her pack-n-play for the night. Did I mention that she has been sleeping through the night for 3 months now?? Yeah, baby!
Today Little Girl A was home since she only goes to preschool on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. About 1:30 PM, she went down on the couch to take a nap. Hannah was tired too, so I sat on the other couch in the family room with her on my chest. Next thing I know, I am waking up and it is almost 2:30 PM! I didn’t even realize I was tired enough to take a nap! Kind of cute…all the girls napping in the family room together.
Tomorrow morning is her pediatrician checkup appointment. I don’t have many concerns to bring up, since we just saw him 3 weeks ago. I want to ask him to do a platelet check since it has been 6 weeks since her last one. I want to ask him about her sleeping with her eyes open (really freaky, as they sometimes are about 1/4 way open — sometimes I think she is awake!). What else…to see if her spleen and liver have changed in size. Her weight…I am guessing 15-3/4 pounds. I’m sure I’ll think of more tomorrow.
I’m going to email Hannah’s genetics doctor tonight for an update, since I haven’t heard from his nurse yet. I emailed her on Sunday night. Yes, I probably could/should give her more time before doing this, but I am SOOO tired of waiting on whether or not her skin biopsy is done!
Isn’t it amazing how you don’t feel tired one minute and then the next thing you know you’ve fallen asleep, only to wake up 2 hours later??!!
I hope the appt goes well!!!
My children had a yucky bout with croup around Christmas. We finally pulled out our humidifier and it’s been nice! We’ve been putting some of that Vicks stuff you add. My almost 4 year old likes having it run at night.
I hope your little girl gets better-
Olivia sleeps with her eyes open a lot. It is freaky, but the Dr told us not to worry about it. I’m hoping you get your answers this week.
The eye open sleeping is normal, both Sadie and my niece did it when they were babies. Gross, a bit freaky, but totally normal.
Glad Hannah is feeling better and that the girls stole a nap together 🙂 So nice! Katie slept with her eyes open, too–It doesn’t happen anymore, though… Take good care!
