Yesterday was a bad day for me. I woke up with the standard sinus headache, which I tend to get with various changes in the weather or when I've spent too much time outside in really hot, sticky conditions. Usually, I can knock these headaches out within a couple of hours with a combination of various allergy, sinus, and headache pills.
Well, yesterday's headache just got worse from the moment I got out of bed, and it took me most of the day to kick it. Until about 3:00, I was dizzy, nauseated, and having a hard time with loud noises and bright lights. It was probably a migraine, and I can only remember one other time that it has been that bad.
Olivia must have sensed my pain and decided to cooperate because she took a 3.5 hour nap in the morning, a 2 hour nap in the afternoon, and she managed to play happily and safely by herself between naps while I crashed on the floor within view of wherever she was playing. I'm really not sure how we would have survived the day together if she had been in a bad mood or sick herself. Thank God for small blessings!
Yes, I am a good girl and I took care of Mommy all day!

I'm glad you are feeling better today. It's nice that Olivia was so cooperative yesterday. :)
Sinus headaches are the WORST. I was just reading yesterday about how babies sense moods and try to show love and support to their parents... Pretty amazing.
Glad you're feeling better. About your Babywise comment -
We had a very similar experience. I tried Babywise for a month (putting him down awake and letting him to go sleep on his own). It was a nightmare. He just sounded scared to me, and the longer he cried, the more worked up he got. I finally decided it was more than I could take, and if I rocked him until he was 14 I didn't care. By 8 months old he would ask for his bed, and didn't want to be rocked anymore. All of that worry over nothing ... I hope I've learned from that experience.
