Bit trivial really, but it's the kind of thing that gets me worrying. DD is 4mths, and has been struggling to shake off a cold (I had it too) for a fortnight now. I keep thinking she is getting better and will have a lovely smiley day, but then wakes up all congested. Anyway, today she had been miserable, increasingly clingy and upset, and has resisted sleep even though she is really tired. Every time I resolve to take her to the doctors, she seems miraculously recovered. Obviously if I thought she was really ill I would seek medical advice immediately, but I really think her snuffles are just making her miserable. I will take her tomorrow to rule out anything else which could be distressing her for my own peace of mind.
Anyway, she is being Christened soon and we are supposed to attend the second of four meetings/lessons with the vicar tonight. This will mean leaving her with my parents, as we did last week, for about 2hrs. I am very reluctant to go and leave her. The vicar was unfazed and understanding last week when another parent didn't make it so that's not a problem. I do feel slightly uncomfotable with this Christening (although it is my choice, and last week's lesson was fine) so I feel like I am using my daughter as an excuse to get out of it tonight- but she is my pfb and I can't help worrying about her. What if she gets really distressed again and even my mum (who is wonderful with her) can't comfort her like I can?
WIBU to send my DH on his own? I don't think anyone will mind really, but do you think it makes me look precious and flaky?
