Tonsilectomies and what not

Sophie had her tonsils and adenoids out yesterday. The doctor had planned on admitting her for overnight observation (Although I was not aware of this until yesterday morning) BUT She recovered WAY better than expected and was up in bed playing with her toys and eating pudding. So, the doctor came in and said it was up to Bill and I if we wanted to take her home or not. So I brought her home BC I wanted her to be comfortable.

SO, I started my new job at Toys-R-us today and Bill hasn't found a job yet so he was home with her. I was nervous as all hell BC I have been with her every day of her life and now I was going off to work and the day after she has surgery. I expected her to be miserable and sleep all day (they have her on pain meds). HA! I come home at 5 from work and she is running around in a swim diaper and two different socks, That's it. HAHAHA.

Bill said he did everything her could to slow her down but she was so hyper and just wanted to run around and play. The doctor said she has stitches and wanted her on minimal activity for two weeks so as not to pop a stitch but there is no holding this child down! I thank God that she recovered well though!! Now if I could just get her to sleep once and awhile......

Mommy. Needs. Sleep

I hate daylight savings time. It never fails to completely screw up Sophie's already horrid sleep schedule. Princess has decided lately that naps totally suck and so by 5ish O'clock the child is miserable and in a full on ass kicking mood. She goes to bed at 5-7 and wakes super duper early therefore causing her to be more tired the following day. Its a vicious cycle that is draining every fucking ounce of energy out of my body.

Yesterday. She falls asleep at like 6:30. Sleeps soundly through the evening. All is well. HA! Mommy stays up until 3:15am feeding her addiction playing around in the blogosphere.(Man this new raspberry crystal light is badass) No sooner does my head hit my pillow and I start to drift off does she come waltzing in to the bedroom. "Ake up Mommy!!!! Ake up Noooooowwwwww!!!" Son. Of. A. Bitch. It is 4:02am when I look at the clock. Like 45 minutes of sleep.

We come out to the living room and I turn on cartoons and get her breakfast. ( Before you ask, no, she will not go back to sleep. Once she is up. She is up.) I know better than to fall asleep BC she waits for that then wreaks havoc on the house. *Shiver*

Dear Lord Baby Jesus,
Thank you for espresso. Without espresso mommy would not survive.

Trick-or-treat Smell my feet!

Sophie woke up at 5am yesterday. Nothing new there. No nap. Eh, same stuff different day. BUT yesterday was Halloween and I was insistant on her taking a nap BC ever since she stopped taking naps she falls asleep by 5:30pm bc she is miserably tired.

So. I try. and try. and try to get her to take a nap. No luck. So I decide to try and take her. If she was bad oh well, at least I tried, right? Well ladies and gentleman let me tell you what. It is amazing what a child will do for candy. I was sooooooo proud of her! she was so unbelievably well behaved the entire time. She walked up to every single door, rang the bell or knocked. said trick-or-treat and then shook her little booty to show them all her tail. We had a BLAST, she made out like a bandit.


here are some pictures of our night :)

Updates on Sophie

This child, I tell you, Is going to give me a heart attack with her almost 3 year old antics. I won't even go there right now, My heart is to fraile. Anywho, Sophie saw the GI for a check up yesterday, everything went fabulous. Doc thinks that the chronic constipation is caused by a behavioral witholding of the poops. Like, Maybe one time she ate to much cheese and was constipated and it hurt to go so in her mind she has that it hurts so she holds her potty until she is backed up and its very painful. I always knew my kid would be full of shit..... So, I'm going to mention it to her behavioral therapist and see if we can't come up with a plan to help her know it's ok to poop!

She had her ENT appointment today. First things first, he saw no cheese in the nasal cavity! WOOT!(If you have no clue wtf I mean by that read this) So she goes on November the 11th for her tonsils and adenoids to be removed. They are also going to do a nasal cautery to stop her frequent bloody noses. Hmmm..... other than that the only other big appointment we have coming up is the platelet transfusion on the 28th of this month.

One day, I swear it, one day my baby will be completely free of all this medical mayhem and live a normal life.
