I'm thinking either she's not ready or it was just the wrong time of day for her.

P is for Pneumonia
It turned out that Isa didn't just have a little cold. Add in a fever and wheezing lungs and you have bronchiolitis. The ped gave her a nebulizer and said to watch for a spike in fever and worsening of the cough.
The next day her fever got a little higher. Once it reached 101 we took another trip to the ped who sent us for a chest X-ray and blood work. The chest X-ray confirmed she had pneumonia in both lungs. So in addition to the nebulizer three times a day, she was to start taking amoxicillin.
Skip ahead almost a week later, the little peanut is back to her crazy self, loud, ear-piercing cry and all.

Not a Happy First
Isa has her first real cold. Yes she had a cough and sniffles before, but I consider this real because it's accompanied by a slight fever. Tylenol administered and it came down a bit. We're going to try the voodoo technique that Tootsie told us about- baby Vicks on the pigs. Results to come.
The only plus of a sick baby- lots of snuggles.
Isa's fever crept up a bit today so we took a trip to the doctor. Verdict: she has bronchiolitis. They gave her a fancy new nebulizer for treatments 3 times a day. Her fever started going down some before bedtime. Hoping the peanut starts feeling better soon πΆπ

Cramming a lot into a Little
By the time Isa and I get home after work it's about 6pm. This leaves a very short window of time we get to spend together. Everything else takes a back burner (even my starving husband if he's home).
Tonight I managed to squeeze a few smiles and non-crying moments out of her before bed.
