Missing mommy

Last week I headed to White Plains to the IBM Learning Center to take a management training course (Basic Blue), and left Ade in Daddy's care for 3 nights. It was a traumatic event for all, but as Ryan said "Even if none of us like, it will be good for all three of us." I think he may have changed his mind afterwards, though...

Ade ran a fever the second day I was gone, and had be taken to the pediatrician from daycare. Other than being clingy and overtired, she had no symptoms and the fever quickly went away. She tortured daddy every night and wouldn't fall asleep. Ryan spent three nights with her sleeping on his chest...

As for my end of things, I was super busy so that kept my mind off how much I missed my baby. (For example, taking my MBA course final exam Thursday night after class ended.) But, I did watch the online videos of her often... ;-) Now I know how hard it is to be away from her, and I became a consumer of my own e-updates!

This week she is finally getting back to normal. It took her a few days of extra-clinginess to feel alright about life again. I really don't know how we are ever getting this child out of our bed... when she worked herself up crying for Ryan she triggered her reflux, so I think we can cross the Cry It Out method off the list.

Upcoming events... my bday (31!), Mother's Day, trip to Boston, and then Disney at the beginning of June...
I also have uploaded new pics to DotPhoto, so check them out.
