Cough Cough...

So my poor baby girl is sick!! Yesterday evening we noticed that she had a little bit of a dry cough every once in a while, but I thought at first that she'd just gagged on some milk and was trying to clear her throat. Over the course of the night though, the cough got worse and worse, she started sounding REALLY congested when she was breathing and was really restless. When I woke up congested this morning, that pretty much confirmed that we were both getting a cold. I called the dr's office this morning and took her in. The dr. said she's got some chest congestion and put her on infant tylenol to keep her comfortable and an anti-biotic to be on the safe side. Also, she does have an umbilical hernia which we already thought she did but were waiting for her next check-up after we get back to find out for sure. She has an appointment for a re-check on friday to see how the cold is going and for her regular dr. to look at her tummy. On a better note, she weighs 10lbs 4oz now and is 22 and 3/4 inches long, so she's growing!!
