Daddy's Girl


Much anticipation went into having a baby girl. Finally an end to the testosterone filled home. Before Lili it was only the dog and I. And the dog lives outside. So I foolishly thought it was going to be pure bliss. Not only is she a girly girl..the opposite of me. She is a daddy's girl. She wants to be with him all the time. I don't blame her really. She spends all day with me...so when dad comes in, she's all over him. I have to admit..there's a little jealousy on my part. But I'm ok with it now. I'm happy that she has a dad that is so good to her. He treats her like the princess that she thinks she is. Last January, we thought we lost her. She had a fibrial seizure, and stopped breathing. And now everytime she gets a temperature, we both lose our minds with fear. Knowing that this can happen up until the age of 5. And to make thing even worse...she is allergic to Ibuprofen. The most effective medicine for fevers. We unfortunately had to find that out the hard way. For almost 8hours she was high as a kite. She had her mood swings up and down. At times she walked around the house chanting jibberish, and staring up at the ceiling. It was funny until we hit the restless stage. That part lasted the last 4 hours. No sleeping, super fussy, irritable. So we stay clear from ibuprofen. My boys could only use ibuprofen. They didn't tolerate Tylenol too well. Weird.

Now it's just nice to see and capture moments of Lili being with her dad.

What a cute picture. I know what you mean about that whole jealousy thing...but mostly I am grateful that my girls are close to their dad.

Scary about the seizures. Has she had any since then?
