But the poor girl was horribly sick all last week. It started about a week and a half ago, with a nasty cough. She didn't have a fever or any other symptoms, but I still wanted to take her to the doctor, to get it checked out. And low and behold, she had Bronchiolitis. But unfortunately, because she's so young, there was nothing we could give her. We just had to wait it out. So by Saturday, she was feeling so much worse, and now had a fever and a constant runny nose, along with her horrible cough. Her fever was pretty high, so I called the Dr, and since it was a Saturday, they sent me over to the Urgent Care. Oh, and I forgot to mention, on top of all this, Nate got the stomach flu the same day she started with her cough, so I was husband-less during the worst of it. So, I spent the day going from Urgent Care, to the hospital (for a chest x-ray), then back to Urgent Care for the results, by myself. And poor Sadie, was miserable the entire time. But luckily, her x-rays came back clear, and once again the Dr. told me it was just a virus and we had to wait it out. So then Monday rolls around, and I get a call from Sadie's Dr., to see how she was feeling. The Dr. asked what her temperature was, I told her it was 101.3. She said that she shouldn't still be having a fever for this long, and told me to bring her in. So Monday afternoon, we went back to the Dr...and this time she said the virus had turned into an infection, both respiratory and an ear infection. But the good news is, she could finally give her an antibiotic! Momma couldn't have been more thrilled! Especially after almost a week of no sleep. So now Sadie's been on her antibiotic for 6 days and is feeling MUCH better! Her cough is still lingering but all her other symptoms have gone away.
Since she was so sick, and not eating much, she dropped a little bit of weight. And she was already in lower percentile as it was, but that's ok, Nate says she'll just be a flyer (As in a cheerleader, who is on top of each stunt)! Yep, that's totally something Nate would say!
*Sadie currently weighs, 14lbs 5oz.
*She loves her toys and can play independently for about a half hour
*She especially loves her saucer
*Still loves to grab her feet, and put them in her mouth
*LOVES her binky, I don't know how I'm ever gonna break her of it!
*Still sleeps well, but once we get in our new house, we're going to work on getting her on more of a schedule.
*I have yet to SEE her sit on her own, but Nate informed me this morning that while I was sleeping in, he had her sitting on her own, for quite a while...so we'll see. :)
*I've been giving her solids every once and while, but she does not like the rice. Only oatmeal, and it can't be plain. She likes a little flavor, so I mix it with a little banana. I might have a picky eater on my hands
*She weaned herself of breastfeeding, at 4 months. Just stopped taking it completely. It was very devastating for me, and I tried to pump for the next month, made it to about 5 months, and eventually my supply started to dwindle. So now she's officially a formula baby. But I have accepted it and moved on...:(
Despite getting over her cold, she's still had quite a fun weekend. She got to go swimming over at my friend Jacquelyns house, both Friday and Saturday, and she LOVED it. And on Friday night she got to go to daddy's bday party.
Here are some pics of her eventful weekend...
My friend Jana made Sadie this skirt and onesie, to wear to the party. I love it so much! She's so crafty and so talented!
Poor thing was worn out by the end of the night...
