FINALLY we are in the rythm of Maui. It was a VERY trying last couple of days while we weren't getting any sleep, had a tired and VERY cranky daughter and were ready to put the kibosh on vacationing with child. After we figured a few things out (turned up the AC and give her motrin before bed) we are finally getting rest at night and aren't up all night with a daughter who wouldn't sleep.
Ella and I are turning the corner on our colds and feeling much better. The sun is helping to bake it out of us. Dale is still really hackin' and it is putting his back out. I am pretty sure he has bronchitis. There is a walk in clinic here but you can't do antibiotics and sun, so... he will wait til we get home (if he actually goes to see a dr.).
The last 2 days have been great. We got a FULL night of sleep last night and the Puddin' has been taking 3 hour naps during the day. When she is rested she is fully charged and a happy little vacationer. The beach and pool have been marvelous. We have really enjoyed watching her learn to try new things and not be so afraid of the water splashing on her face. She is jumping in the side of the pool to daddy and trying to dog paddle a little.... but, don't get me wrong... she is NO fish, that's for sure.
The weather has been HOT and very clear the last couple of days. We all have mild sunburns even though we are slabbing on sunblock at every turn. Every night has been a different dinner spot as we soak in our favorite restaurants. Ella has been doing great with that as she typically plays games on Dale's iPhone.
I have had to be more careful about the amount of walking I am doing each day and not to over do. The baby is growing and I can feel things stretching again. If I do to much, I am pretty miserable at night. Shorter walks in the mornings and making sure I lay down for an hour or so each afternoon that Ella naps is helping. We are walking a LOT during the day to the beach, pool and dinner so the 4 mile boardwalk stroll in the morning was just to much (so I figured out the hard way!). Sasa is going on her walk without me in the morning and getting her exercise in without having to wait for me to catch up.
Tomorrow... more of the same.... more beach, more pool and hoping that the wind stays down so that we don't eat any sand like we did today! Our Maui time is 1/2 over now and we are grateful that it has settled in to a good rhythm where everyone is happy and has the feeling of aloha running through their veins.
