Today I got to thinking about all this "news" I want to share. I was considering updating my status on facebook for the third time today and it occurred to me I should just blog about everything.
Lizzie finally got over RSV and seemed to be back to normal for a couple of days. Then she got a really high fever and I figured she was teething. So for the last three or four days she's been moping around this place all whiny and needy. She wanted me to hold her all the time and didn't really seem interested in food but she was chewing on her fingers and everything else. I'm thinking "okay teeth, get the heck out here already!" I don't think anything has sprouted yet, although a see a very faint white dot next to one of the teeth she already has. I'm not even sure it's a tooth but whatever.
So despite no teeth breaking the gums she's happy again. Finally my Lizzie is back. She's crawling all over, entertaining herself. She still doesn't seem thrilled about food but I'm beginning to wonder if she ever was. It seems like so long ago that she was eating two 4oz containers of food and cereal in a sitting. Now it's like "nibble nibble. I'm done." I'm not a fan. But she's happy and leaving me alone so I can maintain sanity. Life feels pretty good.
I also wanted to report that I cleaned the clothes, folded them, AND put them away in the last couple of days. Doesn't seem like a great accomplishment to some but to others it's a pat on the back! I even put away laundry that's been sitting in baskets for a week...that's the norm. I guess I was feeling ambitious or maybe just grossed out because I also cleaned the bathroom. Yeah, I know. I'm good! And as if those things weren't enough, yesterday I unloaded, loaded and unloaded our dishwasher. (Thanks again, Amanda. All the blessings of Heaven be upon you!) I'm actually reaching some of my new year's goals. There are so many I can't actually accomplish them all but it's something to reach for.
I might have more to say but for now I'm hungry and my kids are waking up from their naps. Life is good. I'm so happy.
