Current mood: stressed
Mia had the WORST teething day of all days yesterday. She was teething bad, was sweating like crazy, didn’t take her naps and at the end of the day she even started getting her first diaper rash! Poor baby.
We came down to San Diego a day early to spend the night at Adrian’s Mom and Step Dad’s house. We left late afternoon and talk about running around. We had to hit the Pinata place first, in Lake Elsinore. We got her the cutest little pink star piñata. It is shaped like a star and has a big #1 in the middle with a crown that says “Birthday Princess”. We were already behind schedule a bit so we rushed to load the piñata into the car…. It didn’t fit!! Noooooo! Even with Adrian’s advance Tetris skills he couldn’t get that thing to fit. So he had to unload the car reload it and then managed to squeeze it in. Phew… then it was off to the Dollar Tree to pick up some extra plats and balloons. That’s when I realized we had forgot her chonies for her dress at home! Noooooooo! We had gone to far to turn back so we hoped they had some cheap ones at the Dollar Tree. Unfortunately, all they had were enormous granny panties! Even “I” couldn’t fit into them if I wanted! Haha Ah well.. so we shopped some more and picked up her birthday balloons. Then FINALLY it was off to San Diego. Poor Mia was roasting in the car seat as the sun was hitting her and she was all sweaty, so she was happy when we made a pit stop before Grandma and Grandpa’s house. We stopped off to grab a bite to eat at La Bellas! The best Italian restaurant I have ever eaten hands down. Infact we are catering that food for her party! Yummy! Once we got there, we set up and Mia ate her avocado and some cheerios and of course some Mac and Cheese, while Mama and Dada grubbed on some good food. After that we finally made it to Grandma and Grandpa Santos’ house. We were greeted by Grandma who was so happy to see her. Unfortunately due to her teething she has been so unruly and is always whinnying and crying hysterically. This didn’t change at Grandma’s house and soon she was screaming and crying and only wanted me to hold her. She didn’t even want to be put down. Eventually after awhile she warmed up and walked around the house as Daddy got her Piñata filled with candy. I decided to give her a quick bath so she would be all clean for her big party… bad idea! She screamed through the whole bath and just tried to climb out. When I went to wash her bootie buns she let out a high pitch squeal I have never heard her do.. EVER. That’s when I noticed her butt was turning red and had a slight rash to it. Oh No!!!! I turned her around and sure enough she had tiny blotches everywhere. I quickly took her out of the bath and calmed her down. Laid her on the bed and lathered her up with A&D and Desitin. That seemed to help a lot and she perked up alittle bit. I let her play downstairs for a bit before I laid her down for bed. Sure enough she blew up hysterically again but eventually after talking to her for awhile and calming her down she laid down and went to bed. Adrian and I visited awhile with his parents then went to bed ourselves. We have never ever EVER shared a room with a sleeping Mia, and last night, that wasn’t going to change. Despite how quiet we tried to be, she woke up anyways and was not happy. I changed her diaper again and lathered her up with her creams. I then moved her pack and play downstairs into the spare room where it was cooler. Set up her music and fan and Daddy put her to bed. Luckily she went right down without a fuss.
In the morning she got up and was all smiles and cheer. She did good for the first few hours until she became tired then it all came crashing down. She got moody fussy and hysterically crying again. I am still trying to get her to take a nap right now before her party and she is just crying uncontrollably. There is nothing I can do. I have tired carrying her, cuddling her, playing with her.. nothing works she is just out of control. I am praying she will be better once we get to the party…. ACK STRESS!
