restless nights

So the past week Tehya has the weird habit of getting out of bed, and then falling back asleep half under the couch. She gets up, goes and lays her naked body on the cold kitchen floor, stays there like 5 mins, comes in the living room and wiggles around on the living floor and usually it ends she falls asleep half under the couch. 4-5x this week she did this.

She been really restless lately as well. I did check her mouth, she has her two bottom 2nd yr molars that have broke through. She has no symptoms of teething..she always was a good teether..only out of the ordinary thing is restless nights.

She loves play dough. She has a play dough session at least 3-5 times a day upon her request.

This cracks me up, was she pointing at the fridge, I can't remember what she said but she wanted some pepperonis to snack on.

Always SO concerned where her daddy is and she's at the stage where she cries and pouts when he leaves. She protests his leaving for work now. This is actually a moment she wasn't upset about it but was asking where he went. also notice how jumpy she is, everything scares her.

She tries to act like a dog like all the time. She dump stuff just so she can lap it up or get on her hands and knees and eat.


Random.

She could be a waitress, lol. She also ALWAYS stacks everything on her plate when she is done eating.

back in December.... (stacking)

Ok this seriously has been her favorite toy since she was like 6 months old. She was laughing..it looks like she's crying, lol.

Lego's.

She has serious sleep issues. So restless lately. She crashed on the floor here almost 2AM.

Loves using the computer, she "types" and controls the mouse, lol. She demanded to wear her babylegs.

She so into pretending and her tea parties have progressed into dress up. I'd share pics but they came out horrible and fuzzy. She goes through the clean laundry and wears everyone's clothes, including wearing my underwear over her diaper. She always had a shoe fetish, that started over a year ago. :)

She's so sincere and caring. Her little girly "oh no's" and "uh oh's". She was watching Ice Age and she's all like..."oh no...uh oh...don't fall......okay okay?". She sees the moon and says "careful..don't fall". She's a sweetie. She really thinks it's gonna fall..poor thing.

No No Yes Yes

Pretending to sleep.

Loving her baby.

She LOVES that Panda Bear AND sitting in boxes.

Notice panda stuck in middle of instruments.

No No Yes Yes, Tehya and her daddy.

Catching Up

Oh my gosh, I've been computer-less for a couple weeks, my pictures and video's were piling up. I had nearly 500 files on my camera when I transferred them to my pc, which is still crap btw. So many updates I'll prob leave half of them out cause there's too many.

I've made two different posts, so there's one new one under this one. :). This ones still long though. Not to mention this ones scattered and out of order. I tell you what, my OCD is going batty with all this disorganization! I think my blood pressure is rising, lol..

Random pic... EVERYONE says she looks like the Olson twins all the time to me (edit: way cuter of course! lol), what do you think?


Her fake smile.


Usual spot.


Toddler Toes (clickable photo)

She does that thing thing with her lip ALL the time, it's one of her looks. Kinda like chewing it, lol.

Finger painting. She used one finger the entire, didn't want to dirty any others....until grammy made her put her hands it, lol.

Profile.

At grandma's, her dad's side, in the basement playing with bubbles. I like how her face lights up when she blows a bubble.

Wills moms voice in background here.

Waking up is hard.

Christmas parade. Her expression the entire time!

I gave in to the fuzzy crocs for Tehya, I'm temped to get myself some to what all the hype is about.....but I don't know...

Yelling at Bubba my moms dog, I think she says Lambi in there too, the other dog. She hates when they bark.

Just playing with my camera. Her middle toe has a birthmark. It's cute.


Holding grammies, my moms birthday gift. She carried it around awhile before giving it to her.

Spinning, spinning, spinning, she spun quite a bit before I started the video. She does a funny thing with her eyes when she spins, lol.

Sniffing her book. It's a scratch and sniff.


Busy Ball Popper

She loves this bear because it talks to her.

Wrapping Uncle Brandon's Shoes with grammy.

Wednesday (It's a long one)

I don't have all my pics and video's on this pc for the week, just today's so I'll catch up from the week leading up to today later if I get around to it, lol.

Tehya's been sick since the morning after Halloween. Poor thing, she's REALLY sick. Low grade fever for several days, no poop for 5 days, hasn't ate for 3 days and counting. Sore throat for at least 3 days now. Starting to wonder if it's strep. She is starting to feel better although she still doesn't feel great. :( Phone call to the doc (again) in the morning.

We went outside for fresh air, it was very nice out today. She actually felt OKAY for a small amount of time.


Playing with leaves


"choo choo" A train was going by in background.

Sasha my kitty.

Peek.

Scream.

Trying to get the door open.

"uppy". Normally she does it by herself, but today wanted assistance. :)


Doing something funny with her tongue.

O face she made, her reaction to my mixing pudding.

Pudding and icecream. She didn't even try either one. We tried bribing her to eat.

"ahh"

Another funny tongue thing. (I later find a large white sore on it!)


So tired and sleepy today.


The sky across the road this evening/night.


It was HER idea to cut her toe nails. She loves it. She just woke up not long ago, lol.


Then we painted her fingers and toes. She also enjoyed that. My girly girl.



*edit* turns out Tehya was not sick as in having a cold or flu sick, she was sick because of mouth sores! See this blog for details.

Tehya's Dental Procedure

Before

After

Well we are back. Thank God, been a long day. Her appointment was at 7:30, but we had to be there to check in no later than 6:30, so we left home at 5 in the morning.

That medical building was something else. So the waiting area was huge. Had it's cafeteria and lunchroom. They had computers hooked up to the Internet, a couple hooked up to game consoles. The had a quiet room with a weird wall of running water for people who wanted to sit in quiet and/or read. They gave us a beeper type thing when we walked in, it made a noise and vibrated whenever they were ready for us and again when we could go back to see Tehya. The had TV's, large fish tanks in the walls, a nice play area. Very roomy. Oh and a really cool thing they had was these TV's placed throughout the room the kept track of the patients progress, so we could look at this screen and actually know where Tehya was and what her progress was.

We get called in, Tehya is in hysterics already. I expected this from her cause it happens every well check-up. She wanted to nurse REAL bad but I couldn't let her, she was fasting.
They had cable in the rooms, lol, so I turned on one to a cartoon and she fine for awhile watching that. Then seems she was scared, clingy and nervous they decided to give her a drug that made her relaxed and "loopy" so that when they they did the gas to put her to sleep it wouldn't be as bad.

The drug they gave her to calm her made her silly. She giggled and cheered up real quick. To me that was different because I'm used to tears and screams at the doctors from her.

Only one of could go back with her when they put her to sleep, so I decided I was the one to go. I just couldn't not go, I knew that would be worse for me. At this point she was like a newborn. She was like dead weight in my arms, I had to support her head and all. She was awake but slowly fading off to la la land. She was still smiley though. I walked down like 4 long halls, Tehya was probably wondering who I was because I had a gown and cap on.

We get to the OR and I reluctantly lay her on the bed. I figured she'd cry and never thought in a million years she would stay there without crying but she happily layed there, smiling still. She had her buddy bear with her and she kept putting the mask on buddy bears face and smiling about it. It was cute. Then it was time to put the mask on her so she could go to sleep. She saw it coming or something because she started screaming...even though she willingly put it on herself earlier. She didn't scream long though, she settled down immediately, and I talked to her and kissed her on the cheek the lasts seconds she was awake. They said she actually did really well because most put up a fight longer.

Phew I THOUGHT the hard part was over. I drove myself crazy in the waiting area, finally about 2 hours later (they said it'd only be 1 hour) the dentists comes out (I couldn't help but smile seeing him, I was so relieved) and talks to us and tells a few more minutes and we can go see her. So again we had to wait. Not long this time. 5-10 minutes. Keep in mind, this is longest I've been away from my child since she was born!!

Walking the halls I hear a screaming and inconsolable cry coming from my baby's room. My first thought was 'Oh God, how long has she been crying before they came and got me?', I'm sure longer than I want to know. They actually wait until they settle down a bit before they get the parents (so I've been told). I'm still sad about that. I saw the nurse holding her like a newborn. That was an odd site. stranger cradling my child. I'm not sure I liked that feeling. She had an IV in her foot, blood pressure band on her arm, and a heart rate monitor on her toe. Oh, she ended having 3 fixed and one pulled. The 3 fixed ones are not the best shape, we'll hope they hold up!

I took her and sat with her. She was better but still very upset. The nurse wanted to give her a bottle and I said no she is still nursed, she's never had a bottle before. So I nursed her, it settled her for a minute but she extremely upset again. She'd fall asleep, wake up crying, fall asleep, wake up crying. She did this most of the day.

Eventually we made it out of there. She wasn't happy getting into her car seat. She just wanted to nurse nurse nurse. I would have let her but we HAD to get home. That's a long ride, so I only let her nurse for 15-20 minutes or so in the car.

We stopped at the mall on the way home to get food for us, ice cream for Tehya, drinks and a present for her for doing a good job. She refused water, she refused the ice cream (that NEVER happens), she wanted nothing. She still cried, slept, cried, slept. She was white as a ghost and her lips were blue and then white. We bought her a cute pirate tent and left for home.

She did the cry sleep thing all the way home. Still was pale. Then she vomited 3x in a row on herself. First time in her life that she vomited. Sadly, I did my best to clean it up, but we were still 30 minutes from home so she had to stay like that. (I was riding in back with her, as always) I wasn't about to take her out, we all just wanted to get home and if I took her out, she would not have got back in. Plus she wasn't crying so I didn't want to change the situation.

Finally. We are HOME. Home sweet home. She was still "not right" for a bit, but now she is better. She ate a yogurt pop, a juice box (which I never give her), and a bowl of rice. She showered and just fell asleep at 7pm. I hope she's to bed not napping. I don't need her falling off schedule...again.
