I'm seeing improvement

Claire is in day 10 of RSV. It's waning, but we still have a ways to go before she's back to normal. To help her breathe better I've been putting her in the bathroom in her swing while I take a long, hot shower. The steam does wonders! I heard her talking to herself as I lathered up and the next thing I knew there was silence. Yea! Asleep! I hurried through the rest of my shower routine and exited in perfect silence. I cleaned the kitchen - still sleeping. I dusted the whole house - still sleeping. I swept, swiffered, and scrubbed the floors in the kitchen, dining, stairway, downstairs, and laundry room, then folded 2 loads of laundry - still sleeping. I even talked to Melissa while all this was going on. She napped for 3 hours! I haven't gotten a gift like that since November. It was wonderful, but there was a price to pay. She woke several times before I could get her buckled into her bouncer. Then woke at an average of every 1 1/2 throughout the night. I was quite cranky this morning when she decided to wake at 7:00, which would have been normal and perfectly acceptable except that she needed so much from me all night long. Granted, she is still sick. Today has been a great day of napping. After waking so early she fell asleep nursing at 7:45. Woke 30 min later. I rocked her to sleep at 10:45ish and she - get this - slept for 1 1/2 hours! Another wonderful nap. I put her down for another nap at 3:30 so I have about 5 min before she wakes. Better get going to make dinner. I'll add to this if she happens to go longer, but I am perfectly ok with seeing her cute smile in a few. Thank you God for making my baby sleep longer - it is a huge blessing!
