Bailey's 15 Month Checkup

Bailey had her 15 month checkup this morning. All is well - she's finally going through that weight loss thing that everyone said would happen when she started walking. Well, she started walking 5 months ago and never lost any weight. But now...she's 27.1 pounds and 31.5 inches long. Everything is good - she's at or above (mostly above) all her developmental milestones. She got two shots...she didn't like that...but quickly recovered to her usual sunny self. She has one shot at her 18 month check up and then NO MORE until she's 4 years old. Perfect! Just in time for us to have another baby...LOL!

Kelly vomitted again this morning. We'll be fully 11 weeks pregnant tomorrow, so we're hoping (praying??) that things will begin to start to even out. We hold out very little hope...right now, we just trod through the days and wait for this part to end. Kelly's feeling shitty. She's emotionally overwhelmed by the sickness, and while she is holding herself together, it's wearing on both of us. We are a bit snippy with each other and we're both feeling a bit like we've got the worse end of the deal. It's funny how couples often turn inward with thier shit and start slinging it at each other when the chips are down. We try not to - we actively try to avoid it - but we're human. We both get up each day and start a new day and let the old day go. It's the best we can do right now.

Bailey's got a cold with a slight fever. Nothing more than that, but it's made her pretty clingy and needy. She's super-sweet, but even super-sweet gets old when what she's wanting is to never be out of someone's arms. And that someone is usually me. But okay. It's all good.

This crazyness is our life and we wouldn't change it. We might change the sickness if we could, though...LOL!

Has she tried eating something every 30 minutes? I mean like 5-8 almonds even, nothing like a meal just something, preferably protein all the time. It can help with the sickness if she can manage it.

Good luck.
