The night before

It is nerve racking knowing your little one is going into hospital for any reason but knowing they are going to be messing with her already wonky heart…
So we have all been a little on edge today and wouldn’t you know that Ellie wouldn’t go down to sleep for nothing tonight, crying and carring on like crazy. When we went in calm her down she was sitting up in her bed crying.

For those of you who don’t know this is HUGE. Ellie isn’t crawling, walking, or pushing herself into the upright position yet.
We have been trying to get Ellie to sit up by herself, helping her get in the right position and push up but she has never gone from the laydown position to sitting by herself. So I was stuck in a situation where I wanted to praise her for sitting up by herself and being such a big strong girl and telling her she was being naughty for still being awake and not sleeping like she should.

I guess that was just the first of many situations like that.
