Well this week has been trying for a new mom, Whitley has had her first "cold." It started out just the snotty nose, then the cough came. I can handle that because she has had a short time that this had previously happened. Then Monday night happened...she cried...no wait, screamed for hours! This isn't my girl so I knew something wasn't right. So I called the on-call nurse at her peds office and they called the on-call doctor and told me to give her a warm bath, rub her belly and to get into the office on Tuesday. So we went to the doctor and they said that it was just a cold and that her ears and lungs were clear and to just hang in there. That made me feel better knowing her ears and lungs were clear, that is always my biggest fear. We wake up Wednesday morning and she felt warm to me so I took her temperature, 101.1! I once again called the on-call nurse to see if I needed to get her into the doctor again and she told me that I could just treat her at home and let me know what to do. She slept most of the day, all cuddled up in my lap. She was not her normal smiley self and that broke my heart knowing that she didn't feel good. She had to be fever free for 24 hours before going back to daycare, so I had to stay home with her again on Thursday since her fever spiked again Wednesday night.
Thursday was a much better day! She was smiling again! She also made a new discovery...her FEET! It was so fun to watch her grab and play with her feet. This morning she was still fever free so she went to daycare today. She has been having a pretty good day. Hopefully she will be feeling 100% by next week. When the weather turns nice again, I want to take her outside to get some pictures of her. The lighting in my house really stinks when it comes to taking pictures!
Can't believe she is going to be 4 months old next week! Time is flying by so fast and I am loving every minute of it!
