Sweetie is sick. Daddy was sick all weekend...and now sweetie is sick. I'm not sure that they have the same thing, but at any rate, I feel really bad for both of them. Matt is actually feeling better, and today was the first day Marissa was feeling bad. I didn't know it until I picked her up from daycare.
Apparently she slept for over four hours after getting there this morning. Mrs. Judy decided to wake her finally to try and give her a bottle (I've instructed them that it's not necessary to wake her from naps to feed her...she normally only sleeps 1 hour...2 is her record...so it's not normally necessary to wake her in order to maintain her feeding schedule. However, Mrs. Judy got concerned and woke her to feed her today, which I am glad she did). Anyway, she eventually drank the whole bottle but was fussy and sleepy the whole time. Then three hours later they tried to give her another bottle and she only took a couple of ounces. They told me she was fussy when she was awake and they couldn't get her to stop fussing very much.
Bummer. I took her home and got her to take a big bottle, then she took two additional breastfeedings (whew...at least she's eating). She has a fever, is still fussy and real sleepy. We called the doctor's office and Matt talked to the nurse while I fed her. She's OK, just sick and needs some time to recover. I'm staying home tomorrow to keep an eye on her...if she seems better I'll go into work. If not, I'll stay here and will take care of her.
I hope she recovers soon. I hate to see my girl in this state, but it's just the first of many, unfortunately! It's just part of life :-)
