I am quietly sitting in the dark listening to Mia sleep. Let's just say our evening was not a good one...
- she was so sickly (fever, in and out of sleeping, coughing) by the time we got her to urgent care hours at her pediatrician's office that they skipped the dozen kids in front of her and rushed her back to a doctor immediately
- while sitting in my lap awaiting the doctor, she surprised me to a lovely, good for the skin, barf bath
- after a steroid shot and a fever reducing "treatment", we were sent home with orders not to leave her alone, to watch her closely overnight, and to take her to the ER if her breathing gets worse again.
So, here I am standing guard. Meggan will take her rotation shortly. Anyone who says being a parent is an easy job... either has never been a parent, doesn't quite understand the proper use of the word "easy", or is referencing the small subset of time where their child does something disgustingly adorable.
