Well I fell behind about a week. I dont think i have updated since we moved to our new apt last saturday (which i actually updated on monday because i was behind). Anyway, i have two good reasons, Frick and Frack. They have been busy little bees going to sleep around 10pm and waking up (for the day not counting throughout the night) around 7:30am. Both have been in great moods though Sabs had a few days where she had her finger in her mouth all day (teething) and only wanted mommy.
Anyway, i have lost count of what we did on what days except for yesterday and the day before. I can remember those in order. Poor little Pookie came down with a fever yesterday and was knocked out all day. She is so responsible and sweet when she is sick (the exact opposite of her sister which is one of many reasons i hope the little demon doesnt catch whatever this is next). Sophie just rested all day, took two warm baths and did a lot of sleeping. She had about 102 fever last time i checked and it felt like it was running pretty steady all day. Last night i felt it drop for a bit and then it seemed to come back up again. This morning (she is still sleeping) it feels lower so hopefully it is on its way out and she will be back to good ole pooks. I could tell it was coming on b/c on our way home from the countryside she said she had a little headache on the train and then fell asleep. Then she said her headache (egg-it as she calls it) went away but before bed she got super cold and wanted to just lay down and save her dinner. Oh she is up. be back.
Sooo, Sabs was so excited that Pookie woke up (sabs has been up for over an hour already) that she ran in and jumped on top her. She misjudged the distance (as babies often do) and cracked her eyelid on the nightstand. She now looks like she got punched in the eye and has a big cut on top of her eyelid. This all happened about 4 hours ago. We have since taken baths, eaten food, wiped her boo boo and played. Pookie woke up with fever and I am happy to say that as of 2 hours ago she is fever free and back at it!
Will and Sabs brought her home a dozen orange roses from the grocery store yesterday. She told me to put them by the bed b/c that is what you do for sick people. She has updated us all on her flowers several times between today and yesterday. One is sad b/c she is sick and the rest seem to be opening now and smiling b/c they heard she has gotten better. You can see the sad flower below on the right.
Ironically yesterday it drizzled on and off all day and today is cloudy and the same. Pookie couldn’t have picked two better days to be home bound. She is convinced that the sun heard about her illness too and doesn’t want to come out. It is a bit bizarre and i am super grateful that we have had sunshine nearly everyday we have been here except travel day to florence when we we arrived and the past two days when we are here with a sick pookie. She is good to go as of now so we’ll prob just take it easy on this cloudy day and hit the streets again tomorrow.
Ok, now let me go sort some pictures and post while Sabs is napping and Pooks is eating. Oh and Sabi was so sad when pookie was sick b/c she didn’t understand why she wasn’t playing with her yesterday. She came out and asked me to put on “do do do” their favorite song (Uptown Funk) and Pookie mustered up some energy with 102 fever and snuck out to dance with Sabs. Sabi was so excited. I took pics and you can see it in her face. It only lasted about a minute or so and then pooks had to lay down on the couch b/c of course she was sicky picky.
And here is my crew on the mend this morning. Typical Pookie style – 24hr fever then back like nothing happened.
