Getting better

Little one is finally feeling better!  Minus the occasional runny nose and a little cough here and there, we have our sweet little Vivian back.  I did take her to the Dr on Thursday because she was making 'crackling' noises when she was breathing.  My paranoid self starting googling and of course the worse pops up.  RSV, Pneumonia, Bronchitis, etc.  Plus, I've had a warm mist humidifier in her room at night for over a week now and I read you could over use a humidifier which would could cause respiratory problems.  That caused for some concern.  

Vivian didn't act any differently.  She still played which caused the sound to be worse.  Especially by the end of the day.  She was still eating, minus two or so ounces less than she normally eats.  She was still making her squealing and 'mmmmmm' sounds.  She still had her sweet little smile.

When we went to the Dr on Thursday, her lungs were clear.  Thank goodness!  Just your standard cold.  I'm still trying to get over mine.  I have NEVER had a cold last this long.  A little TMI  here, I've blown about a gallon of snot out of my nose since Sunday.  I'm still  stopped up.  I've used a Neti Pot (a few times), Afrin (twice) and I even took Robitussin (only once..aka safe for breastfeeding).  Nothing has helped.  Guess I just have to let it run its course.

Since we are feeling better, Vivian and I are going to meet up with my friends Jenipher and Nichole this Saturday afternoon at The Dress Shoppe for Jen to try on a wedding dress.  It will be great seeing them.  Miss those girls!!  Plus, Vivian and I haven't left the house in almost 2 weeks...minus two Dr visits and a grocery run.  We have serious cabin fever.  Today is suppose to be in the low 50's which will make it bearable going outside.  Better than being in the 30's.  

We are ready for spring to arrive!!!
