Tabitha and the sappy, emotional, no good day....

Last night around 11pm I hear Little miss coughing and breathing real hard... I wait for a minute to see if she can clear it on her own and when she continues coughing and began to cry I went to get her.  We stayed on the couch til nearly 2:30am I had to adjust her every time she coughed so that she could regain her breath!  She wheezed and coughed all night!  I finally decided to drag out the nebulizer only to realize we have no medication for it that are in date!  I cried all night listening to her breathe.  (I may have missed out on some shut eye but Little miss slept through the whole thing!  She woke up maybe twice crying but that was it.  I moved her around, made sure her head was elevated, even did the percussion on her back, and she didn't wake up.)


All morning I was pretty emotional.  I kept thinking of Little miss on the oxygen helmet at the hospital and seeing her little body struggle and fight for every breath.  I thought about how many times we have used her little penguin nebulizer.  I cried because we can't use the little pacifier attachment on the nebulizer anymore because she is too big for a pacifier now.  She will be 2 in 10 days!  Where did the time go!  It seemed as if G man was my baby for a long time and she is just growing up quick.

Well I had it all together by lunch time.  Cory was coming home early due to a dentist trip and I couldn't wait to just sit and laugh as a family together.  I watched a video on youtube that made me cry for about an hour over how lucky I am to have a father that loves me and was able to walk me down the isle!  Then the phone rang and zapped me back into reality and it was the boutique calling to say her birthday shirt was ready!!  Cried some more!  G man didn't talk to me for awhile because he didn't know what to say and the idea that someone would cry because someone else s' body is growing was beyond him.  I finally pulled myself together and went to pick up the shirt.  It is so perfect!  I can't wait to celebrate with this crazy little girl!

Spoiler...her birthday shirt says "Koo Koo Ka-choo Lennon is 2."
