Cry in the night
A mew and a rustle and I knew.
I shot bolt upright and in a flash it was upon us. Finley spent the wee hours with a not so wee stomach bug. She and I are home making like a mama and baby koala bear, clinging and cuddling.
It is all over again as if I am a first time mom. Piercing. Dire. Profound. Consuming. Exquisite bliss with excruciating ache. Back to hand-wringing and brow-kissing, hopefully we'll be toe-nibbling and belly-laughing again soon.

Man, she was fighting a good fight in that swing, wasn't she?
She's absolutely beautiful, Amanda.

I'm so sorry - I've got a sick baby too!
But it makes me feel better that an experienced momma is as clueless as me sometimes :)

ohhh, I know, I know. My son had a bit yesterday too, I really enjoyed his clingyness, I held him so much and nuzzled until my heart was full!
Hope she's feeling better soon and no one else gets anything!

I spy the little Noah's Ark creatures on display- they are here, too.
Hoping health and wellness is restored upon your home soon~

Aw. I'm not looking forward to the first time Ms. D gets sick either. Poor Fin!

Poor, sweet baby! Hope she feels better very soon.
It was hard to read, that picture is so gorgeous and she got so big! Is she getting blonder?

Thanks for the tip on the fleece blanket- I'm doing it tonight.. it will help; we've been at below zero at night!

Awww.... poor sleepy sick girly.
Where did all that hair come from???? Ana will be lucky to have a pony tail by the time she's 2 years old.

Sick or well, that one is a keeper.
Those pretty, pretty eyes.

Oh, sweet little one trying so hard to sleep - or not to sleep, hard to tell which!
January 27, 2009 5:27:00 PM PST
Aw, poor little pet.
I hope she's back to her desperately-trying-to-keep-up-with-big-sisters self soon.

I hope she's back to form soon, too. She sure is gorgeous. (Not that I wouldn't want her well even if she wasn't gorgeous!)

Sleepy Beauty--that's my nickname for your little princess. :-)

Pool sweet Finley. Hope she feels better soon.
January 28, 2009 12:24:00 PM PST
Poor little angel. I hope she feels better soon and that you can get some rest.

She was multitasking, keeping her eye on you while she fell asleep! You're not getting away with a THING with her.
