A Better Day

Our princess awoke today much happier. That was not the case last night at 2:30 AM when mommy went in to hold her while daddy made a bottle. She was fussing in there and the minute I picked her up she threw up all over me. It was in my hair, my shirt was soaked, it was not what you wanted to happen to you when you are halfway still asleep. Not fun at all. Kris thought it was funny. I did not. I about puked myself! After I got all cleaned up, she went back to bed and then I was up with her at eight this morning. I am beginning to wonder if I will ever get the chance to sleep again! She woke up very raspy and congested today. She is on Zithromax, although I have the feeling half her dose came up last night when she threw up. We will see. I am hoping this works but if not we will have the test results back next week. Thanks for all the e-mails and prayers...they mean a lot to us right now!

I love these two profile pictures

Mikayla's trophy came in the mail from her Baby Photo Contest

This was MY CARTERS SLEEPER when I was a baby:-)

Through all Mikayla has been through this week she is always smiling and happy and looking so content and loved. I see the bottom pic of her new tooth that just came through! Is that 2 new teeth on the top or 3 that have come through?
I think I have a picture of you in that sleeper and need to try to find it.
Sorry about last night for both Mikayla and you.
Hope tonight you all get a peaceful good nights rest.

Our Adoption Process said...: Here is my very belated web hug, Mindy!!
I have been off the web since Thurs and what an ordeal.
this parenting thing looks easier on TV.
Maya had her PPD upon being discharged frm her RSV hospitalization and I thought it would be positive. It was actually negative, huh.
Do whatever you thing is best.
Most doctors will not recommend somthing that is unsafe without telling you of the adverse reactions, etc.

Good luck!
