Poor, Poor Steffanie

As Steff would say, "Poor, poor, Steffanie." She's having a bad night. She woke up at 2am saying her back hurt and so I gave her some ibuprofen and she got sick to her stomach from that. She's been crying about her back one minute then her stomach the next. Poor girl. She must have gotten sick from the medicine because she threw up twice.
Right now her and Ryan are laying on the couch together and she's watching Sprout while he tries to catch some sleep. He just got home from work about an hour ago (3:30 is when he gets home)and I'm up for the day. I have been since Steff woke me up from her back hurting.
It's gonna be a long day...but hopefully Steff's back will stop hurting and she can get some more sleep. If she falls asleep I'm gonna try to get some more sleep and I'll also send Ryan to bed. If not, then it's really gonna be a long day.
She's not going to sleep...she's saying her back and her neck are "scratchy." My mom is coming over to visit tonight but I don't know that I'm gonna be doing much visiting. I think I'll ask her for a nap if things don't get better and I don't get some more sleep.
I just sent Ryan to bed because Steff was acting and talking like she's feeling a little better. There's no reason for both of us to be up and he's had a long night.
There are so many adventures as a parent. If you're reading this and haven't had kids yet then hang on to your socks when you do because if you're not the type that can be up all night and then go all day then you better not have kids. Of course, you also get to the point where you just do it because you have to. It's not fun and it's not easy but you find the energy and the way to take care of everything.
