Is it bad that I have woken up every morning this week (including Monday) wondering if it was Friday yet? It has not been a bad week, it has just been a week of weird Jillian.
Saturday I filled her pump bag at 9:50 and went over to start it. I laid it down on the floor and the side facing the ceiling started leaking milk. We were at my parents and did not have an extra bag with us. My dad got me some duct tape and I was able to repair the hole.
Saturday night she did not get to sleep until 11:30pm. Then she was up screaming from 1:30-3:30am. And she got up for the day a little after 6am. She had a yucky cough in the morning so we gave her a neb. She was really good at Church and running a few errands after. Brent worked a lot that day because he is on call this week and there was a big issue on Sunday. When I went to put her to bed Sunday night I took her shirt off and noticed a weird rash on her back. It was only above her belt and did not go down her arms or on her chest. It was circular in some spots and shaped like little zits in others. I called my mom and posted a pic on Facebook and between friends and family suggestions we decided to give her benadryll and put hydrocortisone cream on it. For a second night in a row she did not get to bed until well after her 8pm bed time.
By Monday morning the rash was gone and there was just a small dry patch of skin that was not red. The rest of Monday went on like normal. She is liking to watch the bobsleds on the Olympics. She really does not care if any other sport is on the TV but she stops what she is doing and sits still to watch the bobsleds. She had a lot of reflux going on, and screamed until almost 10pm in her bed (which is on our bedroom floor).
Tuesday was normal. We had Bible study in the evening and she was a ham. She went to bed around 9pm with only a littler crying.
Wednesday she woke up and was soaking wet. We could not figure out what it was from, and after a while chalked it up to a strange Jillian moment. We got to work around 6:45 and I put her in one room. A little while later a teacher moved her to a different classroom. While the teacher was carrying her, her shirt became wet. She put Jillian down to figure out where it was coming from. Low and behold her milk bag had a hole in it, and had just dumped about 3 hours worth of formula all over the pump. I use to keep an extra bag at school however, last month we were super short on bags so I took that bag home and forgot to replace it. We also did not have duct tape at work so that was not an option either. One of my coworkers was not at work yet and offered to bring tape. I also sent a text to Brent and Dan letting them know that the bag had broken and Dan sent a text backing saying that he could go back home and get one. About an hour after the mess of milk everywhere I was able to get her all set back up. I only had enough milk to run her until 1pm though because 3 hours of milk was in the bag. Wednesday night we started her at 7pm instead of 10pm to give her back those missed hours. Jaime and Jason came over for dinner. It was fun to hang out and talk. Jillian started to run a 100.0 temp and was not completely herself but she loved to laugh at uncle Jason.
Today at work I heard one of the cutest things. Three little girls were playing with lacing cards that were princesses. The one laced hers all the way up and the string ended near lacing princess's stomach. The little girl said "look she has a feeding tube just like Jillian." Then the other kids played that their doll's has feeding tubes too. It was so sweet to listen how accepting of Jillian they were even without her in the room. I was so proud of my kids!
