The good news is that Zoe’s fever has been gone since Sat. The bad news is that she’s still not 100% and has been pretty grumpy – and clingy. As she sat screaming while I tried to feed her this morning, I realized that the past few days have reminded me of the newborn stage, when a baby cries a lot and is extremely needy. (Newborns don’t usually throw tantrums, but that’s beside the point.) As sad as I sometimes feel about Zoe’s independence (“it’s like she doesn’t love me,” I occasionally comment to Q), I see now that it’s a lot better than the alternative. And I’m looking forward to her getting back to normal soon!<\/p>\n
