Well, right before we took a small trip to see my bro graduate from college and visit my parents, the kiddos started getting sick. Poor Monkey has been extremely congested, and it has been interrupting her sleep quite a bit. Yesterday, she had a total of 3 3-minute naps. Not quite enough, as you can imagine. On the way back home (it was a 1 day trip of about 2 hours each way.) she was so extremely exhausted (it being about 6 in the evening.) and was trying her hardest to just fall asleep. Unfortunately, her breathing started to get strained and she ended up throwing up a little bit. So sad. :( I think it was mostly mucus, so she wasn't literally ill. Just too much congestion and drainage and those sorts of fun things. She ended up not sleeping on the way home. But when we got home we gave the kiddos some applesauce to settle their bellies (it always settles mine.) and a nice bath. They still got to bed after 8, but it was so nice to be home.
Today was still a day of recovery. We've found it takes at least 2 days to recover from traveling, if not more. It depends on how long you were gone. So I'm hoping by tomorrow she'll be back on track. As long as she gets her naps in, anyway. My parents will be here for a day or two, so we'll have to temper our desire to be out doing things with helping the babes get their naps in.
It's so awesome having my parents here to visit. The last time they saw Monkey was when she was 6-8 weeks old. Other than that it's only pictures. So it's so sweet to watch her interact with them. Granted, she's not the quickest to warm up to anyone, she's come a long way and is very interested by their being here. She always points and grunts at them.
Of course, Moose had a wonderful time and didn't really nap either. He is enjoying Grandma and Grandpa immensely and will be super sad when they leave. Better go and enjoy them while they're here!
