"She's really a lot of fun sometimes."

Monday, May 4, 1992

     I can't believe it's been so long since I wrote. I just used the proventil in my nebulizer & my writing is going to be shaky.

     Ez is cutting another eye tooth & from all the drooling she got a runny nose. I got a sore throat & slightly stuffy nose from her and Guy got a very stuffy nose from one of us. He had duty Sat. & it hit him that night. When he came home Sun. morning he said he needed to go to bed so Ez. & I went to church without him. I'd taken two bottles of OJ for her – the first time she had it. The particles kept clogging up the hole. I took her to the nursery & left her with Cecelia while I went to the kitchen & strained the juice through a coffee filter. She drank most of it & was about asleep then all of a sudden she opened her eyes & sat up. She wouldn't drink any more so I was going to let her play. But she just kept squirming around & whining. I'd forgotten to bring a pacifier. I had a NUK one but she wouldn't take it. So I got the other bottle to go strain it. By the time I got back to the nursery she was playing happily so I left her in there for the rest of the service. Guy was still asleep when we got home. He was feeling better so he stayed up all aft. watching tapes even though Ez. took about a 2-hr nap. I only slept about 1 1/2 hrs. mostly just tossing & turning. My throat has kind of been coming & going with feeling sore. It's better tonight & my nose isn't too bad. Guy went to the corpsman on the ship & he gave him some dimetapp & sudafed. He sounds awful but says he's not as bad as he sounds. We've been giving Ez. Triaminic NiteLite. She's worst in the morning & better by nighttime.

     The big news since I last wrote is that Ez. is pulling up now. She's been standing up in her crib since Thur. & she pulled up on the floor yesterday. No cruising yet. She's getting better at crawling. She likes for me to chase her, saying "I'm gonna getcha!" She's really a lot of fun sometimes.
