Reagan Won Today

Today started out well. We had an early lunch with The Sperry girls then came home and played.

We played with Elmo.

Played dress up in my closet.

And played with toys.

This has been a little bit of a rough week for Reagan. For one she is sick. She started out with a low grade fever and now she is just stuffy. Her fever has gone away but her nose is still runny. Second, she is teething. She has her top four and bottom four and I think now she is working on the sides and the back. None have actually broken through the gum, I can just tell they are on their way. Needless to say she is whiny, needy, fussy and a bit of a pain.

She has done okay, still sleeping through the night. She is on both tylenol and motrin, we have teething tablets and of course the orajel. I hear her a few times in the night wake her self up with her snoring, just not being able to breath very well, but I never have to go in there. Then around 7 am she is up (which her normal time is around 7:45 or 8) I get her a cup of milk and bring her into our bed. Usually we just lay there and eventually she will nod off for another hour or so.

Like I said before she sleeps throughout the night in her bed, it's not until in the morning when I go get her that she is in our bed. However the past two days I have not been able to get her to nap in her bed. I tried letting her cry it out today and after an hour I caved. I couldn't help it. I know that she isn't feeling 100% and she is teething. I know that she just wants to be with me and it's so hard for me to punish her for that. When I am sick or don't feel good, I just want to be with someone and no one can make you feel better than your own mom.

I guess this is something I shouldn't have started. I never wanted to be the parents who have their child sleeping with them, but it seems like thiscould be heading in that direction.

So Reagan won today.

And this is what she looked like when she woke up.

I am hoping that this won't last. That once she is back to feeling well she will not give me such a hard time at naps. I feel like I might be starting the cry it out phase all over again, which was totally heartbreaking. Oh well, I just have to try not to stress about it, remember that it won't last, and enjoy every minute together.
