This has been a tough week. On Monday Juliette was pretty much inconsolable all day long and I had no idea what was wrong. She's been sleeping terribly at night and won't go down easily anymore - and it takes an hour to get her to go back down when she wakes up at night. I was in tears for a good part of the afternoon because I just can't hold her all day long when I have two other children that need care and attention too. Anyway I decided to take her to the doctor on Tuesday just to rule out an ear infection. Turns out, she has one! It's a small one but maybe it's contributing to the crankiness. It also might be teeth but I've been saying she's teething for months now and nothing new so who knows. I just hope that it's SOMETHING so that when whatever it is resolves itself, my happy little sleeping girl will come back. Ben was wonderful though and surprised me with a night out to get my hair and nails done (it had been about 8 months) and it was amazing.
I also brought Lily in to the doctor the following day for extreme fussiness. She has nothing wrong with her BUT when they took her weight (just a week shy of 20 months) she was 18 lbs, 2 oz with clothes on. This is amazing to me because at her 18 month well baby visit she was 16 lbs, 12 oz so that's more than a pound in under 2 months! We've noticed lately that she is eating extremely well and she doesn't tug at her shirt anymore when she's finished with her food. It's been gradual but I'd say the Prevacid we're giving her is doing absolute wonders. At the rate she's growing she'll catch up to Juliette in no time!
My cake class is going great. It's so much fun - last week we decorated cupcakes which I immediately smooshed on my way home and this week we'll decorate our final cake. I need to come to class with the cake already iced so I'm trying to plan my week's time accordingly. I also am making a strawberry pretzel salad and a pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving this year so I have to fit that in somewhere too. I start my next cake class on Monday (2 days before my final other class ends) so it will be a busy week.
