Baby girl woke up with another super high fever again this morning. It feels like forever ago (honestly, was it 13 hours ago, or 13 days ago?), but I think it was like 105 again. So she had Tylenol and ice water, and then she ate a biscuit and sang along with Baby Shark. Well, she thought she wanted a biscuit, but changed her mind, but I got her to eat an entire applesauce pouch instead.

So a “normal” day’s blog post would start around 7:30 am. But today’s blog post is starting around 10:15pm last night. Emmie went down good last night, and was sleeping soundly. Around 10:15 though, we heard her start stirring. She was quietly moaning & groaning, but then she started coughing. That last a few minutes, and it started sounding worse. Jeff went into her room to pick her up, and she was having a really hard time breathing. She was very wheezy and gasping for breath and starting to cry. It’s hard to explain how she sounded, but it was scary.
We had some “leftover” Albuterol and a nebulizer from when she had RSV, so we did a breathing treatment. She hated it and was screaming the whole time though, saying, “I don’t like it!” She was still struggling to breathe once we finished (and Mommy was starting to slip into panic mode), so we got dressed and headed to the North side ER.

Emerson is still very much loving her new Rosie Unicorn, and loves to tote her (and her two pacis) around the house in the mornings.

We had a relatively good bedtime last night, and then she slept all through the entire night! Praise the Lord! I’m more than ready for her to be back to her regular bedtime and sleep schedule, so hopefully we’re almost there.
Mom’s bestie was ready for a good day at school! As we were pulling in the parking lot, she asked, “Nana pick up Emmie today?” I told her, “No, Grammy is picking up Emmie today.” And she said, “Grammy pick up Emmie! Yay!!” She was so excited!

After a decent bedtime routine last night (currently, 45 minutes is considered “decent,” vs. like, 3 hours….), she decided she needed to wake up at 4am. She was moaning and groaning for a few minutes, and when I realized she wasn’t just going to go back to sleep on her own, I went in there to pick her up. She asked for lullabies on my phone, but I hadn’t brought it with me. I asked her if she just wanted Mommy to sing, and she said yes, so I gave it my best raspy, sleepy, 4am-voice effort. It worked apparently, because I was able to lay her back down around 4:30am, and I went back to sleep myself for a bit.
Then at 7am, she was wide awake and happy-go-lucky, as if nothing had happened! I got myself dressed, then got her dressed, and she sat in the kitchen floor eating snacks, while I packed my lunch and made my coffee.

First thing this morning, Emerson was just being a perfect little tot, eating a snack and watching some videos on her tiny stool, while Daddy and I got ready.

So after going back into Emmie’s room for a second or third time last night, we had a quiet little chat about bedtime, and I promised her that if she went to sleep, that I would make her biscuits and scrambled eggs for breakfast. She did actually go to sleep then, so of course I held up my end of the promise this morning! But we had to eat our breakfast in course, because I got the eggs done faster than the biscuits…
