Good morning! Today is Saturday and I am ready to get this day started. I think. Lol.
Yesterday was pretty wild. Delores is still sick and she wore me out. Even though my mom was there I still over did it. Delores wanted to be picked up a lot and I couldn't turn her down because she was sick and I didn't want to upset her anymore than she already was. She wouldn't take good naps either so I didn't really get a break from taking care of her. Lydia had a rough day too. She had a hard time falling asleep for naps. Probably because I couldn't rock her and relax with her like I have been and she was snacking to fall asleep, so it felt like I nursed her all day.
Delores did something very cute though. Lydia was crying and Delores was trying to peak in the swing to see her and when I picked her up she started to throw a fit. Mom suggested she take Lydia and I take Delores because she may have been getting jealous so I did and Delores threw another fit and pointed at Lydia. So mom handed Lydia to me and Delores reached her arms out like she was going to take Lydia. So I got real close to Delores and she just hugged her and laid her head on Lydia's back and patted her head and back. It was so cute. She just kept hugging her for about 5 minutes. It melted my heart.
After I put sickly Delores to bed Lydia got up to eat from a long nap and she started coughing and sounded congested in her nose. It freaked me out a little but I thought maybe she just sucked some dust in and she was just trying to get it out. Then when I went to feed and burp her she started gagging because of the mucus in the back of her throat. Well then I really started freaking out. I called Josh (who is on call this weekend) to tell him and ask what I should do. He told me to call Amy, so I did and she said just to watch her closely till tomorrow morning (this morning) and if it got worse to call our family doctor to come in and see her. She asked me if he had swab Delores for flu or rsv or anything and when I told her "no," she was pretty appauled. Especially because there was a newborn in the house. I hate our family doctor. I always have, but this just takes the cake. I have spent months trying to find a new pediatrition that would take our insurance and I have finally found one, but until I get Delores plans switched I am stuck with Dr. Stafford.
So today I just going to watch her closely and drink Theraflu so she will get a little in my breastmilk and just try to relax. Josh's parent are looking after Delores today so I wont be so stressed out with Josh being on call. I'm also going to try to buy some stuff for Lydia's nursery today. I'm just going to try to be as lazy as possible.
