Sick

My sweet baby is sick this morning.  She wasn’t feeling great at Thanksgiving but it cleared up for the most part.  Since then she’s had an annoying little cough that I said I would mention when we go to the doctor for her 1 yr well baby.  Well that was before last night.

We put her to bed and she woke three times with coughing fits before we even went to bed.  I went to bed knowing that it would be a rough night.  We woke at 4:00 and I went to her.  That lasted a few minutes and then Joel got up with her.  It lasted until 5:15 ish.  We tried to put her in bed with us but she wouldn’t have it.  I sat in the rocking chair with her and nursed her until she dosed off.  We were up at 6:30.

She’s only taken an hour nap this morning and her eyese won’t quit tearing up.  Her nose is red and snot bubbles are the norm as are rivers coming from it.  She’s clingy and miserable.  I called the nurse and asked her what she thought and I was told to come in.  So 2:00 today, we’re headed to see Dr. Simon.  Hopefully I can’t make it with my sanity in tact.

I keep telling myself that just going to the dr. isn’t going to make my life any easier this afternoon but maybe we’ll see a marked improvement quickly thereafter.
