Back to a routine.....

Bennett went back to daycare today and Chris and I both went back to a full day of work! Bennett was supposed to be done with breathing treatments Saturday but she still sounded really raspy last night so we gave her one more before putting her down to sleep. She sounded MUCH better this morning and we have not gotten a call from the daycare today, so hopefully she is all better! Bennett and I went to stay with Mimi and Papa this weekend in Greenville and got to see Aunt Jessica and Uncle Michael...we helped Jess shop for some maternity tops and looked at nursery furniture and bedding! We had a good time, as always when we go to visit! Mimi, of course, bought Bennett some ADORABLE clothes and we even got her baby sunglasses.... and laughed hysterically at her wearing them! I will try and get some pictures of her on here soon!

Sick Little Girl

Bennett started coughing some late Friday night. Saturday and Sunday was more coughing with an added runny nose. I called the pediatrician Monday morning and was told as long as the congestion in her chest and nose sounded loose just to keep giving her liquids and using the bulb suction. Tuesday morning at about 4:00 she woke up with a very tight cough and horrible wheezing! I felt so helpless not knowing how to help her. I stayed up making sure she was breathing until the pediatrician opened at 8:30. I loaded her up in the pouring down snow (of all days for it snow in the Pee Dee) and headed out. Diagnosis......RSV!!!! We are now doing breathing treatments three times a day for the next five days. Bennett has been a trooper and is still smiling and giggling despite her illness. She screamed like I was killing her during the breathing treatment at the doctor's office due to the face mask, but luckily we got a nebulizer that is shaped like a little penguin (for entertainment purposes) and has a pacifier attachment to make it a little less traumatic for the little ones! She is not allowed to go back to the day care until Monday so Chris and I have each been doing half days at work to try and stay on top of things.....God bless my husband! I love him!

Four Month Check up

Bennett had her four month check up this morning and everything went great. She weighs 18.9 pounds and is 26 in. long! She is getting a little too long and chunky for her infant carrier car seat so Chris and I went to get a new one last night. She has the sweetest smile when she sees Chris and I and has started hiding her face in our chest when the other one of us makes her grin and giggle. She has started grasping and playing with her rattle and is trying to figure out how to put her pacifier in her mouth on her own, although she usually has it turned around backwards at this point. She has rolled over several times now from her stomach to her back and screams bloody murder every time. She loves her baby sit and step and watching The Smurfs, but absolutely HATES her swing and being taken out of her bathtub. She can sit and watch football with her daddy for hours. We love her more with every passing day!
