Me and my big mouth.If I've learned one thing in my 12+ years of motherhood, it's that you never, ever mention out loud that your child is healthy. It's the surest way for them to immediately get sick. Call me crazy - it happens. So I've been silently amazed for these 10.5 months that Bayli has never been sick! Silent, at least until last week - so stupid!
Here's the story...
My happy happy girl is happy & busy yesterday - laughing, walking, playing... I put her down for her nap, but after just an hour, she wakes up screaming. She won't settle down, she won't nurse, which is pretty much unheard of. Ten minutes later, she's still inconsolable and I am pretty freaked out - this is so not like her. Twenty minutes later and I'm on the phone with the Dr. Thirty minutes later, the Dr. calls back. Forty minutes later, we're in the car. Bayli doesn't stop crying until an hour later when she falls asleep exhausted in the waiting room. Long and stressful story short - she has a bad ear infection in both ears! No fever, no pulling at her ears, no clues for me whatsoever. Still, I was so relieved to know what was going on with her. So scary!
After her nap in the carseat & a 2nd nap in my arms, she woke up & immediately started crawling around & laughing at Ryann. She doesn't like her medicine, but had a great night and seems to be doing better already.
Still, I know it's all my fault. Me & my big mouth.
My sweet, sweet exhausted baby finally fell asleep in the car on the way home...

Poor little girl. She probably never knew such pain before. So happy that she is responding to the meds. She will be just fine when all the meds are gone.
See you soon.

I totally agree. I try to never voice that Tea is healthy because it's a sure way for her to get sick. I'm glad Bayli seemed to recover fairly quickly, I hope it continues. Poor thing.
