Annabelle had a tough night last night probably one of the longest we have had since the first night she came home. It started off with her running a fever last evening and she wasn't full of her normal smiles. She cuddled and fell asleep in Brian's arms and when it started getting late (late is 9/9:30 at our house) I woke her up to nurse her and then put her to bed. She didn't eat much and was soon fast asleep again. I rocked her for a little while and then put her down in her crib and off to bed I went. She slept until 11:45 and then woke up. We rocked and she would shut her eyes and every time I put her down her little eyes would pop open and we would start the routine over. I tried putting her down a few times and it wasn't working. I would have let her cry it out but she was running a fever of 101 and she looked like she felt terrible. We went round and round until 3:00am when I finally decided to try putting her in her bouncy chair, which sometimes works better than her crib. I rocked her until I was almost positive she was sound asleep and placed her in her bouncy chair in our room. She went down and her eyes stayed shut - success! As I was standing back up to crawl back into bed her little eyes opened, she spit out her nuk, gave me a big smile and waved - little stinker. By this time I was so tired and not in the mood to be waved at but she is so darn cute I had to smile. I picked her up, gave her a hug, told her not to wave at mommy at 3am and we ended up rocking her in room for another 20 minutes and she then slept in her crib until 8 this morning. She still not quite herself but her fever is going down. Hopefully she will be better in the next day or so.
