Here we go again

Natalie has RSV and a double ear infection. So we're back to breathing treatments like last year. She's never had an ear infection that I know of so it's her first time on antibiotics. There's a whole lot of coughing going on around here and it's getting a little old. I think I may have a complete meltdown if the baby gets sick. For now I'm trying to isolate them as much as possible but it's hard with a 2 year old that doesn't understand why she can't be in the same room as the baby and why I can't hold her. Give me strength!!

Jenna--

I totally feel for you. When Vivian was 2 weeks old, my boys both came down with the swine flu and bronchitis. It was absolutely miserable. Carter was obsessed about Vivian, so it was hard for him not to hold her. We kept her in her room for 5 days straight and Cody and I wore masks if we held her...talk about annoying. Good luck with everything. My kids have had the flu and colds this week...Vivian has a double ear infection. Anna is so cute.

Oh Jenna, life sure does throw us curve balls sometimes. I hope it runs its course quickly. We'll see you this weekend.

RSV is all you needed on top of multiple night feedings. Maybe you really should take Cyrena up on her offer.
I hope you're napping because that makes all the difference. Can Cyrena get Natalie breakfast yet? Hang in there and I'll be there soon! (Hopefully that doesn't stress you out.)

Poor thing! Natalie LOOKS about the same as you must feel. YUCK! I'm so sorry you have to deal with this with a newborn. You are a tough little mama!

Linsey said...

I'm sorry! This time of year is rough especially when everyone gets sick. Congrats on the baby, she's beautiful and I love the name Anna!!

Jennie said...

So sorry you're having one of those weeks! Sure wish you were still just around the corner so I could help! I've been absent in the blogging world for some time now... so first Congrats on a beautiful baby! Anna is adorable! What a trooper you are to pull off having a new baby, a birthday party and of course Christmas. How did you do it????
Cyrena looks so grown up with her new haircut. Wow!! She is so cute!
And of course Natalie, she is always adorable.
Hang in there. Three at home is a challenge. But it does get easier!We sure miss your family!!

Poor little thing. That is SO miserable. We've delt with RSV and it's not fun at all. I hope she is doing a lot better now.
