Last night Gabby began getting even sicker than she had been and she was kind enough to pass the germs to Mommy. About an hour after we laid her down she woke up crying hysterically. Since I wasn't feeling well either she and I laid in bed and watched "Peppa Pig" (per her request) while Daddy was kind enough to make her milk, go the garage search for the humidifier, clean it, fill it, fix it because it wasn't working and set it up in her room. We watched Peppa for about an hour and then I put her back in bed because Michael and I were falling asleep but Gabby was not. When I laid her down she told me "night night, bye!" and blew me a kiss.
About 3:30 in the morning she woke up again (I was already awake feeling terrible so I was anticipating this occurrence) because her pain medicine wore off. I went and got her, laid her in our bed, gave her medicine and decided to let her stay in our bed until she fell back to sleep, which usually takes until the pain reliever kicks in. Basically the entire time she was in our bed she left me alone, but she would sit up and kiss Michael every few minutes. It was precious, but I am sure didn't help Michael with waking up the next morning. Luckily once her medicine started to work I could just lay her in her crib and she happily went back to sleep. I have to say Gabby handled the flu (that she so generously shared with Michael, Grandma, and me) better than the adults did! I am so glad she is finally back to being her sweet cheery self again.
