Emily is a cuddle bug

Last night Emily had a pretty bad night.  I brought her back to bed with me after the third time she woke up, she was waking up every one to two hours.  She seemed to sleep okay the rest of the night but I didn't sleep quite as good.  I can never sleep well when the babies are with us unless they are way on the other side of the bed.  Emily slept in but Haley did not, she was up at 8am!  David got up and took a shower and washed Haley and then I took a shower.  Amanda and Lucy arrived just as I was getting dressed.  They brought me a bagel from Panera bread, it was so good!

  David did not have to work today so it made it a lot easier for me to clean and keep an eye on the girls.  He worked on taxes and ran some errands but the majority of his day was spent cuddling with Emily.  We think that little Emy Lu (we have been calling her that lately...) may be feeling under the weather.  I e-mailed the doctor and we have been e-mailing back and forth for the day.  If Emily has another bad night then we are going to go in tomorrow.  Anyways, the reason why we think she may be sick is because she is a little warm (highest temperature this afternoon was only 99.9 though) and she was SO cuddly.  David could not get enough of her because she is not usually like that.

Haley decided to throw a monkey wrench into the day when she decided that she would forget that she was potty trained.  She had two outright accidents and one accident that was, well, more of an accident.  Anytime she peed/booed in her pants she would just take them off and leave them.  One time she was sitting on her potty trying to finish, her booey pants were a couple feet away.  Her legitimate accident was before naptime when I put Haley and Lucy on the potty.  I put Lucy on first because she got to the bathroom first and while I was encouraging Lucy to go, Haley went.  Lucy does take a couple minutes to go and I was using the same verbage I use to encourage Haley so I can see how she got confused.

Amanda came and picked up Lucy after naps and Haley watched a Dora movie she got for her Birthday while I started dinner.  Emily seemed to have perked up at that point and was starting to seem to be her old self so we decided to go to the gym.  She fell asleep on the way over so I figured she wouldn't be too much trouble anyways.  Well, that move right there got me the worst mom of the year award (I'm sure I will receive some kind of award for this).  David and I were about fifteen minutes into our class when we heard our names over the loudspeaker.  I went to the childcare place where Emily was laying placidly in a worker's arms.  They said she had felt warm so they took her temperature and it was 100.8!  Oops.  I felt pretty dumb because at that point Emily was obviously sick.  She was so pathetic looking and definitely felt warm.  I apologized over and over and then took Emily.  I let Haley stay in for the rest of the hour because she really loves it and I figured we might as well.  Poor little Emy.

We went home and I held Emily while David grilled up dinner and then we put her in the swing while we ate. She fell asleep in there and has been sleeping ever since.  I think we'll definitely go to the doctor tomorrow.  David had his men's group from church over and they sat around a campfire outside.  That was nice because then Haley and I had free reign of the house.  We vacuumed and cleaned up the den and then folded laundry.  Before bed I asked Haley what she wanted for a snack and she said strawberries.  She then ate at least six.  She ate 90% of a quart of strawberries in two days!  After her snack I put her to bed.  Emily is still in the swing, I don't have the heart to wake her up and put her in jammies, poor baby.

Haleyism:
Lucy calls me Ms. Katelyn.  On Mondays Haley also calls me Ms. Katelyn.  Haley insists that we call Emily 'Emy.'  A lot of times when I call her Emily, Haley will correct me and say 'Mommy, Emy.'

Emilyism:
Emily is a very accommodating sick baby.  She is super cuddly and sleeps a lot.

I don't think that thing will last too long!
