I just feel blah today. I thought I was feeling better yesterday, but I still have an awful head cold, and can’t take much while I’m nursing Anna. (Though I have to say, straight up honey really is a miracle cure for coughs and irritated throats, and works way better than most medicines ever did for me.) And Anna’s been sniffling and sneezing, but hopefully it won’t get worse than that for her – especially as she really can’t take anything at her age.
Yesterday Denis took Carrie to his office family picnic, where there was a large corn maze. She had a great time going through the maze (it took them an hour and a half) and apparently also got her first bloody nose when she fell while jumping on a giant inflated bouncy thing. Meanwhile, Anna and I hung out at the shop, trying not to spread our germs everywhere. We probably should have stayed home, but I really thought I was feeling better!
And then. This morning I woke up and realized that Anna had slept a full 12 hours. In her crib. And was in fact still sleeping. In fact, we’ve discovered that if we put Anna in her crib at 7:30, in a cozy sleep sack, with a fully tummy and a clean diaper, she’ll just go to sleep on her own. I had heard tales of babies that did this, but I always thought they were mythical creatures.
Now I just have to kick this cold so I can properly take advantage of all this uninterrupted sleep I could be getting!
