Mine did.
Lena arrived early - it's typically after 3am when she makes her way to cuddle in the comfort of Daddy's arms (mine are not made for comfort in the middle of the night).
She is still fighting a nasty sore throat & some unknown virus which led to repeated requests for water every 15 minutes last night. On Monday, we rushed to the doctor when a fever teamed up with her sore throat. With six days until Christmas, I didn't want to be caught in a web of closed doctor's offices and late night trips to CVS to fill presciptions. But, no strep...so we pressed on with our trusty friend - Advil.
After a night of broken sleep and a little girl still not feeling up to speed, we trudged downstairs for breakfast. But, before we got there a watery mess of throw up hit my kitchen counter - thank goodness it was just water!
Poor Lena responded, "Oh no! Why did I do that?" I assumed it was just a hard cough that triggered her reflex to vomit and Lena bounced back asking for cereal.
Twenty minutes later...another cough, more watery stuff and another bounce back! Hoping this is just the end of a nasty cold virus?!
Thank God for movies and couches!
With the girls each half dressed - Lena in her cardigan and pj pants and Lucy in her jeans and a princess dress...mid-day arrives and we are in the clear! The grandparents are joining us a for festive feast tonight to celebrate family & Christmas. So, I am where I love to be - in the kitchen.
