Last night, I only slept for two hours. Júlíana was restless squirming over me, couldn't sleep because of her stuffed up nose, had fever to a kind of boiling temperature and was sucking my breast constantly for comfort. At four o'clock in the morning I've had enough and went over to sleep in the girl's room for getting at least some rest.
I got roughly two hours sleep until 6:15 h, when I had to get up to take a shower and get ready for my first working day at the rehab ward. Interesting enough, everything went smoothly, though I felt like a sleep-walker and had difficulties to keep my eyes open. But a nice nurse's aid took me with her today and supervised me about two patiens we were caring for.
When I came home, I felt extremely drowsy, but stayed awake to keep track of the girls, who were packing bags. Jóhanna and Verónika went to stay overnight at my friend Birgit's and her daughter Daniela. Jóhanna has never dared to visit someone for a sleep-over, so this is a real premiere for her. She was very excited and felt ready for this experience. (And now (22.30 h) I just got a SMS, that kids are sleeping.)
Siggi and I had the plan for using our almost children-free evening to do something nice together, but in my state of being it was completely out of the question to do something else than go to sleep. I nursed Júlíana and gave her some fruit mash, when I suddenly saw a few white edges in her mouth. I took a closer look and felt with my finger, and discovered, that three molars were palpable in her mouth. No wonder she had difficulties sleeping last night!
When Siggi went off with the girls, Julia took care of Júlíana (who didn't sleep either during the day) and I had a "nap" until 21.00 h.
Now Siggi sleeps at Júlíana's side and even I'm longing for my bed again, to catch up with my sleep deficit.
But I have to tell you about my little company next, everything is going smoothly!
