Day 219

Dear Daddy,

Today I am sick sick sick. Mommy even canceled her chiropractor appointment again. It's not been a fun day at all. As soon as mommy went to bed at midnight last night, I started screaming. For the next two and a half hours it was a battle-as soon as mommy would doze off I would freak out again. Finally it got to the point where I couldn't even settle myself down... I was asking for a bottle, and so as a last ditch attempt mommy went against all laws of parenting and made me a small bottle. I burped so painfully in the middle of it that I screamed so hard, mommy gave me some Mylicon (what is up with me and belly gas lately?!) and I drank a little more, and since I had already had teething tablets and Tylenol mommy put me back to bed and finally I was out. I didn't have much of an appetite all day yesterday, so it very well could have been that I was really hungry.

Then, at 7:30, I didn't care to wake mommy up by talking and playing... I screamed. I went poopoo. So I was awake, and mommy was really really really unhappy with me since she didn't get me to sleep until 2:30. We got up, had breakfast, played a little bit, and by 9:30 I was so crabby that mommy put me back down. I slept for three hours. When I got up Xavier was here to play with me for a little while, and then after he left I played for a bit and then I took another 2 1/2 hour nap.

Before my nap though, mommy put in one of my DVD's from you. She turned around really fast after she pushed play with the camera, hoping to catch my huge smile when I saw you like I always have-and THIS is what I did!
Apparently I was shocked to see you?!

And then I did something bad... mommy really has to do something about this. This was the first time I actually succeeded in getting it all the way out.
I don't feel good :(
But I'll smile for you anyway, daddy!
Then Evie and I got a burst of energy and we were silly for a bit.
Now I am sleeping. The humidifier is going, I had some Motrin (oh yeah and mommy thinks I'm getting another tooth... I have buckets of drool going everywhere) and teething tablets, my belly is full... hopefully, just hopefully, I'll have a decent night of sleep so I can feel better tomorrow.

I love you, daddy, and I can't wait to see you.
Love, Maya
