Long night

The night Robert had his stitches, Hannah woke up screaming in the middle of the night. I tried giving her a drink and laying down with her but that didn't work. As I laid down with her she kept tugging at her ear. So, I picked her up to go to the kitchen to get her Tylennol. Since I had such a busy day, I was exhausted and completely trapped over the baby gate landing right on my shoulder. Of course that made Hannah cry more and woke Nathan up. However, he was too tired to do anything and quickly went back to sleep. I tried to give Hannah Tylenol but she wanted it in her ear instead of her mouth. That was the way it made sense to her. Running out of patience I gagged her with the medicine (like you would an infant) so she would take it. On my way putting her back to bed she throw up everything on her favorite blanket that she has to sleep with. Nathan woke up then too and helped me clean up things which is wonderful since I don't do too well with throw up.

Hannah at that point was just awake. I tried sleeping with her in her bed but she was wiggle and I just couldn't get comfortable. So I left to sleep in my bed which caused her to cry. Either Nathan or I, brought her into our bed to help us all get some sleep.  Hannah is a very hard kid to sleep with and sleep diagonally between us. In the end, NO ONE slept well.

The next day, Rachel had her 6 month check up and Hannah had her ER trip follow up.

Rachel weighs 15 lbs and 13 oz (45%) and is 25 3/4 inches long (45%)and her head circumference is 42.5cm (54%). She is a very happy, patient, tolerant baby and at this time was sleeping from 11pm-6am.

 Hannah had her Depakote levels checked and there were fine (60% anything above 50% is good). She had one nasty ear infection in her right ear though and the doctor said it was ready to burst. So he sent in the prescription and we went to story time while we waited to it to be filled. (Walmart texts me when it's ready and I love this feature.)

Story time was fine, Hannah was just a bit whiny from her ears hurting. As we left the library she was running around and climbing the statue acting just fine.  She was being a little rascal in the car and wanted to see in the driver seat while I strapped in Rachel, but that's a little game between us. As I pulled her back to get her into her own seat, she went into a seizure. It only lasted a minute and looked pretty normal to the rest of her seizures. She fell right to sleep afterwards. The seizure was expected due to being sick and no sleep so it didn't worry me. Actually it was a little frustrating because her medicine was ready but I can't take Hannah and Rachel into the store with me in that state. So we just went home for her to sleep it off.

I'm in the middle of my once-a-month cooking process and only got 4 meals done today. I was a bit disappointed with that but we needed a break today. (The reason for the pressure to get it down quickly is that I don't want the meat to go bad before it is frozen.)

After a day on the medicine things were a lot better and on Friday I got the rest of the meals completed (15 meals). Everything fix expect for the following day's meal which was set aside for Nathan's graduation.
