Wow.. this plague has taken over our entire house! Hubby is sick, I am starting to feel better and Chloe is still sick but getting better daily. We had our follow up appointment with our new pediatrician. Yes new, we decided we wanted to go somewhere a little bit closer to us and find a more suitable pediatrician for us. The pediatrics department in the hospital recommended us to a highly recommended doctor so we decided to try them out and I for one am much more happier with this office. They even have sick hours on both Saturdays and Sundays to take sick kids too so that makes me feel so much better.
Anyways, this new doctor was great she asked me so many questions and answered all my questions and put my mind more at ease. She still says Chloe is a bit junky inside meaning she still has some stuff down in her lungs but otherwise isn't too worried about her getting worse so that made me feel much better. She is responding well to the antibiotic so we are continuing with the dosage until the end of next week. My little pork chop is now weighing in at 11.15 pounds she is almost 12 pounds now, doubling in her birth weight in just about 3 months!!
Breastfeeding has really porked her up. She is just an eating machine always on my boob like every hour to an hour and a half. I don't mind though because I know this is only for a short time until she starts eating solids and doesn't want to have special mommy and me time. So I will continue to have this special bonding time for as long as possible.
Meanwhile Scott, my husband has really come down hard with the illness.. poor guy I think got the worst of it. He's hacking up a lung and feels terrible and has come home from work early today because his work doesn't want the illness going on around there. So will just be called the sickies because the moment you walk into our house either myself or Scott or Chloe is hacking away. Oh man.. when will this illness leave the Baden household!
