Home sick today

Well, I am home sick today from work. I worked really hard the last week and a half or so preparing for the deadline we had yesterday. Now I'm so tired! I have swollen face on the right side, and a tenderness near my ears, jaw and neck. I am going to the doctor at 2 today. I think it's just swollen lymph nodes but might as well go in. Anyways, I have Kaylee home with me today too because she hasn't been doing that well at daycare this week. She's been sick with quite the cold and cough, she is now getting over it. But I wanted to keep her home because each day I pick her up she has a bad day at daycare, fussing and crying a lot and only drinking 3-7 ounces of her bottle. They called me Monday and asked me to come pick her up, and said it wasn't necessary because she didn't have a fever, they said it was a "parent thing". Anyways, Eric and I being so in love and so the first timers at this, Eric swooped over to  pick her up since I was on my deadline. And I left early from work at around 3 so I could feed her ASAP. When we got her she seemed happy and content, and glad to see us. The night was fine but she did have trouble sleeping. I took her to the doctor that night and he said it was not croup or anything serious, or strep and that it was just conjestion. He said she could definitely go to daycare. 

I think her fussiness is because she's sick, she gets tired, she's teething and now as I  mentioned earlier she's having a bit of separation anxiety from me and Eric. She likes to be with us best. I bet she will be extremely excited when we go to PR and she can be with us all the time. I am sort of scared for how she reacts to daycare after that.

Kaylee has continued to wave, she practices all the time. Waving backwards at herself. One time she even waved her whole arm and hand in a greeting. Usually she practices on us and is a bit shy still to do it in public, but sometimes does it. Soon to come I'm sure. 

We got Kaylee some squirter bath toys. It was funny to see her reaction. She got so excited she yelled and squealed in the tub. But it was funny how she gravitated to  holding the two tub toys she's used to - her rubber duckie and her goldfish toy. Eventually she did pick out her favorites - the black and white whale and the orange starfish - to suck on. She will even try to hold on to one with her elbow so she doesn't have to let them go.  She's so fun and I'm sure as her language skills develop she will be even more fun. Eric and I have a good time with her! 

Her grandparents had a great time with her on their visit up here for Thanksgiving! They took plenty of pictures, held her a ton (which was good because I threw my back out again while they were here), and showed her off to other family and friends.  It was good to bring my side of the family and Eric's together for Thanksgiving. It was very fun and thanks to all that made that happen!
