January 2009: 1 month old
This is not fun at all. I feel awful for her. She is so congested and every time she starts coughing it triggers her gag reflex causing her to throw up everywhere. We have gone through all of her receiving blankets and many pj's. Doing her laundry as we speak. I am a little soar from all of this nursing, (she coughs and throws up and then demands to eat again because she is back to empty) feels like we are spinning tires here. If only she could sleep, we would all feel better, but it is hard to sleep when you cough so hard you throw up and need a wardrobe change and need to eat all over again kwim? Poor thing! Let's see we are on day 3... maybe day 4 of the cold, surely it will go away soon right?!

Oh bless your heart and little Bailey too. You are getting all of your education in the first month! Do you have help? Chicken broth, bed and some good movies! Hang in there sweetie! "This too shall pass!"

I think she is starting to feel better. She is spitting up a ton but at least it's not the projectile vomit we experienced earlier, and she seems to be sleeping a little better these last 24 hours or so. The Dr. assures me that I am doing all I can since she is too little for most cold remedies. The humidifier helps a little. John has been a good helper and so has HBO lol.

Yeah not much you can do! Breast feeding is the best too! Even though she is throwing up she is still absorbing some goodness! I wish we were closer I would come hold for you so you could get some sleep!
