Visits with the grandparents


Sunday Grandparents Earl and Darla came to visit for the day. They took care of Sophia for a few hours while Paul and I got a much-needed break and went to see a movie. This last week has been pretty tough with Sophia sick, and we're both quite drained. Tonight, my parents came for dinner.

Sophia continues to improve, although she is still a bit grumpy, tires easily, and her sleep patterns are off. The last few mornings she has woken up about 3:30 needing to eat. That's just way to early! She is also crying a lot in her sleep. It's almost like she's having nightmares. Do babies have nightmares?

Today her day care provider thought she had an allergic reaction to the antibiotic and that was causing a rash on her stomach. We think this is unlikely since Sophia hasn't had any antibiotics since Thursday. The day care person assumed she was still taking them. It seems that the rash is more of a heat rash from having a fever for so long. But it just seems to be one thing after another! We talked about starting a new food yesterday, but decided that with the way things have been going lately, it probably wouldn't go well, so we'd hold off. Hopefully things will get back to normal soon. Whatever normal is.
