how awful of me to write a depressed blog and then leave it for several days! things are looking up today (friday), which, of course, they always do after a time. i think that i've had a bit of sailor's stomach bug, and that has kind of contributed to my whole gloomy mood.
but sailor hasn't thrown up since tuesday morning, and her appetite seems to be returning. so hopefully we're past the difficult and yucky part (knocking on whatever wood i can find ;). i am still sorely tempted to give her cookies (i'm making some this afternoon) and chips and ice cream and other things i usually don't... just to get her back up on the chart. (can some one say 1%? 1???)
i think part of the problem is too that she hasn't gained any since her last visit a few months ago. she's grown height-wise, but not weight-wise.
plus in the last several days i've had multiple people comment on how "tiny" or "petite" or "bitty" she is - which usually makes me smile fondly and agree, but since tuesday has made me wince. but i've talked to several moms (and friends :) in the last few days who have been given similar advice, and just told me to roll with it. after all, i'm sure sailor will be fine. i'd just rather not have to keep bringing her in for weight checks every month. and i do fret about things.
anyway, onward and upward! i'm going to go and tackle the laundry.
(that evokes a picture of me diving headfirst into a pile of clothes - just like a pile of fall leaves. hmm. the leaves would be much more fun.)
