like mother, like daughter

Our Christmas in Brazil is not turning out as picture perfect as we would have hoped...Chloë and I are both so sick with a cold that has no end in sight and has become so bad we're both running a fever at night. No fun...I feel better during the day but she's still all cranky and sleepy...so, so sad..

green light

things are looking up...we leave for Brazil on Sunday (as opposed to tomorrow)--Dr. S. was happy with Chloë and wished us Happy Holidays as she announced we were clear to travel.

seriously?

bad news comes in threes, huh? so first Chloë decided she no longer likes to sleep, then she got an ear infection..drum roll for the third development of this week,please--I AM A MORON--I burnt my wrist/arm pretty badly yesterday while getting a bottle for Josh to give Chloë while I tried to take a warm shower and relax to see if my own cold/sore throat would subside..it's not as bad as the time I burnt my hand right before we left for Alaska (3rd degree burns!) but it's pretty bad..I'm sucking it up since I can't take any strong painkillers due to breastfeeding...ahhhhh hopefully Santa will bring me something nice this year.

uuuuughhhh yet again

We went to the doctor's on Monday morning and it turns out Chloë's cold has led to an ear infection which ultimately leads to us possibly not being able to travel to Brazil for Christmas. Obviously, I'm much more concerned about her getting better quickly, but it is a bummer about maybe missing a Christmas in Brazil with the whole family. We have a follow-up appointment on Thursday morning to determine whether we'll be allowed to fly on Friday evening.

On a side note, the antibiotics are making Chloë poop like there's no tomorrow..something she's always had a problem with, so she's VERY pleased with herself when she poops in the last couple of days.

early christmas

This past weekend we celebrated Christmas with my mom, sister and nephew because they'll be in England while we're (hopefully) in Brazil for Christmas. Chloë got way too many presents!

uuuughhhhh

On Friday night Chloë decided she was not a fan of sleeping..she coughed and sneezed and whined. I was so focused on her lack of sleep I forgot to notice that she was in fact developing a cold. By Saturday she was fully congested and whimpering about it. I finally caught up with her and on Sunday afternoon I had the worst sore throat in the world. Thankfully we have a doctor's appointment this morning...
