Boy, was I tired yesterday, I had only about 4 hours the night before (went to bed late, had trouble sleeping, and Steph woke up at 4am)... after I put the kids to bed, I went to bed. I was asleep by 9pm, which was good... Steph woke up at 4am again coughing up a storm.

First thing in the morning I had my doctors appointment... it lasted 1.5 hours... all kinds of tests... then since I was kidless, I stopped and checked out the preschool I want Jess to go to, and I loved it. It's 5 minutes from my house, from 9-1130am, MWF. It's a community center, that is housing an elementary school right now, while it's under construction. It was great, and for sure in April I'll be giving them a call and sign her up.

I took Steph to the doctors... they gave her a breathing treatment, and gave us a machine to bring home, and give it to her every 4-6 hours. She said to finish off her meds, and gave her a new decongestive med. We were there for over an hour, so I rushed home, we ate dinner, I left to go drop off the prescriptions, which should have only taken a second, but they were acting stupid, and finally figured out that they have the stuff for the nebulizer, but didn't even know what the stuff was for the decongestive med. Whatever.

I had to rush to meet the trainer, she worked my ass off, and knew I wasn't going to join up with her, and she was fine with it. Then I went to pick up the meds, and called another pharmacy, who had half a brain and said that they had it, but were busy, so I'd have to pick it up the next day. So, I'll pick it up after I drop Jess off to school, since Steph only needs it before bed that's fine, and hopefully it will help her not wake up coughing, if I can get it down her.

I like that her doctor is overly cautious, and I like that my OB is overly cautious, I wish we could find a regular doctor for ourselves with the same feelings. So far we have not found one. She said babies can go into pneumonia fast, so it's better to be cautious. Hopefully she gets better soon, I hate when my kids are sick. Her coughing and sneezing sound awful (mostly when she wakes up or is drinking), but other than that she is a happy baby, always smiling, even when sick! And she's eating pretty good... she even gained weight from last week... she's 15 pounds now. So, a week of breathing treatments, hopefully she'll be better or back we go, and in 2 weeks is her 4 month old well visit, more shots... so she needs to be well for that.
