Sorry it's been a while since I've posted anything. As soon as Sean got back Haley and I both got sick. (I still don't feel 100%, but think it's just allergies now!) Last Monday she woke-up sounding hoarse. So I instantly thought she had strep throat or RSV. Well, she didn't act "sick" so I just watched her all day to see if anything else was different. I didn't know if I should take her to the doctor for just a voice that sounded a little hoarse.
Tuesday morning I woke-up with a sore throat, headache, runny nose...etc and my body just ached all over. Haley had a little runny nose and seemed real tired all day. I decided I'd go ahead and take her to the doctor. I just wanted to be safe rather than sorry. The doctor said she had a cold, and it just has to run it's course basically. He said it should last about 7 days. If a fever is present and she gets worse around the 7th day then bring her back in. He just recommended we keep lots of fluids in her so she stays hydrated. ( Oh, I didn't mention all her poopy diapers she had been having!) We stopped at CVS on the way home and stocked up on Gatorade, ginger ale, tissues, throat lozenges, jello, and popsicles. : )
The next few days I felt pretty yucky. I couldn't just stay in bed all day, though. I had to take care of an active little baby who wasn't acting sick at all. She wanted to play and climb on everything. I would just lay in her play room with my pillow and blanket while she played. She of course thought it was fun to climb on mommy, though! When Sean got home each day I was so relieved. Thank goodness he was back home or I would've been soooo miserable. We were supposed to go to Houston last weekend, but since we were sick we didn't think it'd be a good idea. I know Sean's parents were real bummed. Luckily Haley's 1st birthday is coming up soon so they'll get to come to town for that. I know they are really missing her.
Not much going on this week. Haley is walking a lot more. She loves to crawl up and down the stairs. (Which means Sean and I are going up and down stairs too!) She is talking a lot lately, and some of it is actually making sense. She says bye-bye, hi, dada and mama(sometimes it's just dad and mom), ba ba for bottle, and it sounds like she says ball. It's such a fun time right now. She's learning so much and imitating everything we do. She is just such a happy little girl!!
