Well its been a few weeks and man, this little one is growing up so fast. I think she is already teething!!!! At 3 months, she has a raised spot on her gum on the bottom, already!!! I took her back to the dr. today (Sept. 28) and she weight's 13lbs 3.5oz!!! that puts her in the 90th percentile!! Chunk a monk!!!
Well she still has this pesky cough that she can't seem to get rid of and its been 2 1/2 weeks so we went back to the dr. to get it checked again. They did a chest x-ray but the films didn't turn out good b/c she was wiggling so much. Well the way they do it, what do you expect! They set her down into this thing, that looks like she is riding a horse, then I had to pull her arms up over her head and they wrapped this plastic tube around her to hold her in that position, what do you think is going to happen, she is going to wiggle and scream!!! But with what the Dr. could see, she didn't see anything huge so we decided not to do it again. She did check her oxygen levels and they were at 97% which is excellent and that helps to eliminate a lot of things like croup, whooping cough and bronchitis. So that was good, but we still don't know def. whats causing it. She is leaning towards RSV, which is a viral upper respiratory infection. Its a little early for RSV season but its still possible. We have her on a breathing treatment and they said we should stick with that and keep a humidifier in her room and hopefully it will work its self out. IF not we have to go back in another week. So keep your fingers crossed!!!
On a better note, we went to Helen this past weekend for our first family vacation. We went to Paige, Brandt and Alex and got a cabin for the weekend!! Alyssa and Marley had a great time!!! Marley did have to ride in the way back of my car b/c of all the stuff we had to bring, but he did really good. Alyssa slept almost the whole way there Friday night. She didn't sleep great that night though she was up at 1:30- 3:00 then again at 6:30, but sat. night she did much better!!! We tried to make it home cutting it close on feedings and that didn't work, so we had to stop off 985 so I could feed her b/c she wasn't happy, but we made it home safe and with full bellys!!!
Just for an update, she is doing great at daycare, they really love her and say she is a happy baby. She does sleep a lot still but they are enjoying her. Its getting much easier for me too. I still hate leaving her but I'm confident she is well taken care of. I think she mostly loves her Wednesday and Thursdays with Grammy and Grandpa though ( I'm pretty sure they love it too)!
She still isn't sleeping all the way through the night, she still wakes up for 1 feeding before we get up, which is ok. I really think though that if she didn't wake up coughing this past week she really might have, so hopefully when this is done she will!!!
She is/has been the most amazing gift ever! I can't say that enough. I still find my self looking at her and getting tears in my eyes!!! She is laughing a lot now and you can really start to see her personality coming through!!!!
well I think that's about it for now, but we are doing great and loving being parents!!!
