For the past few days Dempsey has not been her normal bubbly self and after running a constant fever which peaked at 102 it was time to make a trip to the after hour care to stay on top of things. Earlier in the day Ash had to have her mouth operated on so it was my turn to make the run. Problem was it was snowing pretty bad . The Doc informed me that it was probably just croup (which we had both girls have 2 weeks earlier), so after a quick shot (which i hate watching her in pain from them) we headed home.
We didnt end up getting much sleep last night because Ava woke at about 2 and decided she was going to keep calling out for us till we came and got her (she wanted Ash to sleep in her room on the floor - as she does every night). I decided i would just bring her into our bed with us but she wouldnt sleep and when she did she stole most of my space - so a good night sleep was not had.
When it was time to get up and ready for work, Dempsey was already awake ahead of me but because i cant leave her alone while i shower i left her screaming in bed till i was out. she spent the best part of the morning crying and wanting to be held so i decided that it was best for me to stay home with the girls. Otherwise the daycare lady would just call Ash and she would have to go home and get her, which i didnt want as she is still recovering.
Things have calmed down a little right now as Dempsey is sleeping but as soon as she wakes and requires attention Ava will start to play up and want to be held giving Dad a monstous headache to go along with the cold i am fighting. I guess a big upside is that i didnt have to drive to work on what was meant to be very icy conditions..............
