T-3 Days...

...till we leave Anna with Paul's parents for 4 nights while we're across the country in Colorado.

Yesterday her ear started leaking fluid again. It's not an infection. It's just the reason she got the tubes in the first place: to leak the chronic build up. So it's gross but it's not bad.

Today her ear wasn't leaking, but her nose was. Alot. And it was yellowish, looking like it could turn green by tomorrow. And it was flowing. I too have congestion and a sore throat. I wonder if her throat is sore too? This morning she woke around 5:30 am crying in her sleep. She was up for the day at 6:15. She doesn't usually cry in her sleep, and she usually sleeps till almost the new 7am. So what gives?

A cold?
The teething?

So now we face a possible cold + teething + travel + where's mommy and daddy while we're gone. All sleep-depriving symptoms piled on top of each other, when individually they're bad enough. I hope Nanee is prepared for some potentially sleepless nights and a clingy toddler by day.

With the ear infection and previous recent travel and the teething, we've back-slid on the paci progress. She is once again demanding the paci in the car. So she gets it for now (in addition to sleep). After the holidays/travel/teething are over, we'll start again.

Yucky, baby! Paci is YUCKY!
She just laughs when I say that. Blahhh....
