It's no fun being sick

What I thought was allergies/sinus drainage yesterday turned out to be a cold or some similar unpleasantness when I woke up this morning. Lots of congestion, coughing, sneezing, etc., which means I really should stay away from the hospital for a day or two. So, I shed a tear (or two three), and I've stayed home today. I hate to not hold her or be able to nurse her, but I not only want to keep germs away from her, I don't want to spread this to any of the nurses or other babies, etc. If I don't develop a fever and I feel better tomorrow or Friday, then I will go back. Ironically, I probably picked this up at the hospital. Sigh.

Charles came home midday and went to feed Emmy and drop off milk. She ate like a champ! She is still 3 lbs 8 oz and they have lowered the temperature in her isolette and will probably turn it off completely tonight. So, she may be in a regular bassinet tomorrow! We will get some gowns and socks and hats together to take up there tomorrow. We finally can start putting her extensive wardrobe to use!

  1. I hope you're feeling better today. The nursery looks incredible Beth! I love the bright colors! Glad Emmy is eating so well. A good appetite will make life much easier for you as she gets older.

    Love you!
