Madeleine is sick. I can't say with what but she's definitely not feeling well. Yesterday she was so fussy and took three naps. She just wanted me to hold her all day and since that's impossible she wasn't very happy. Around 7:15pm she went to bed without a fuss. She cried out a few times in her sleep and I thought for sure she'd keep crying but she slept until 6:45am.
This morning she seemed a little happier but she still just wanted me to hold her. After lunch she threw-up a little bit. She's sleeping now - again, her 3rd nap of the day. I nursed her a few times yesterday afternoon because I felt so bad for her. I nursed her this afernoon, too. I read recently that nursing is one of the best things for a sick baby. Breast milk is very gentle on little stomachs plus it's full of good stuff for fighting off illness. So, I'll drop the weaning regiment until she seems better.
Before anyone has a chance to say it...I know, it could be teething.
Some people know that I like weather stuff - The Weather Channel, Weather.Com - and so I always like looking up our 10 day forcast. Today's forcast was 100% chance of rain. Last night it rained really hard for a long time. Today it's beautiful. Maybe the people at weather.com don't realize that China is 12 hours ahead of wherever they sit. I had my doubts about a weather forcast that was so confident in it's self to know without any doubt that today would rain. Maybe it will rain later and I'll eat these words.
Sometime this week Jolene (coworker) and I are going to a sweater shop. There's a shop I found just around the corner that has a really nice cable-knit sweater on display. The sweater shops here have shelf after shelf of yarn in every color imaginable. The different varieties of sweaters they make are displayed. So, we'll go and pick out the color and weight of yarn that we want, we'll be measured, we'll tell them what kind of sweater we want, and then we'll pick it up a few days later. I actually don't know how long it will take. It would take me the rest of my life to make a sweater. I'm really excited about this process. I've been wanting a nice gray sweater for a really long time. I know exactly what I want and the color of gray that I'd like. So, I really hope it comes out like I'll like. It's not very expensive probably between 100-200 yuan (less than $20) for a really great sweater. I'll post a picture of the final product.
Now all I need is cold enough weather for sweaters.
