diedre has a head cold. we brought her into emergency at 1am because she would sound like she was choking a bit, then breath in really mucousy. she also threw up two consecutive feedings so for a newborn, that's not good (fear of dehydration). she checked out fine. its not in her lungs or chest. i was able to feed her there and she kept it down. she hasn't thrown up since. we have a doctor's appointment for her on friday so hopefully she's much better then.
its so scary to have a sick baby. i kept her close by all night so that i could pat her on the back if she needed it. she slept well and ate well all night. she wes even smiley and wanting to play in the morning so that's comforting.

that would be scary! Glad she checked out ok, and is back to her playful self. hopefully this is the end of it!
oh poor little babe,
that's the hardest part of parenting is watching your baby suffer (even as little as a cold!) and not being able to help.
she looks very secure and safe in daddy's arms though!
