Thirteen Weeks Old!!

Well, our little girl has her first cold:(
And, I feel terrible about it! I know this stuff just happens and that it's not my fault but it is breaking my heart to see her like this:(
She has been congested for a while but it wasn't anything big. Nothing the saline drops and humidifier couldn't fix! But on Monday her nose started running and it was greeen! Then when we woke up on Tuesday her eyes were caked shut! I washed them and fed her and went back to sleep and when we woke up it was just as bad and they were goopie all day:( She was pretty uncomfortable all day but never had a fever so I just kept flushing out her nose and washing her eye gunk away! [and tons of extra snuggles] But this morning she woke up and wouldn't go back to sleep. She didn't want to eat either. She just cried. So I took her to the clinic! It took almost 2 hours to be seen by the ped. It was a little rediculous. But she finally went to sleep while we were waiting, poor thing!
The ped said she was fine except for a cold and an eye infection. She said her lungs and heart sounded great. She has a little bit of eczema too but I've just been putting Corona Utter Ointment on it and that has seemed to help when it flares up on her cheecks! [You should definately look into the utter ointment! I know it sounds crazy, but that stuff is magic! It works on everything... dry skin, cuts, diaper rashes, etc! Google it or find it on amazon.com it's well worth it!]
Lily is weighing 13 lbs still and is 24 inches long!!! The doctor prescribed some eye drops for the infection and told me to put warm compresses on them 4 times a day and to keep using the saline drops and suction bulb!
Lily is feeling a little better tonight. She is still obviously sick but seems to be a little happier:) Just keep her in your prayers!! It's really not that big of a deal... but I only want her to be happy and enjoy every single day she has in this world! I hate wasting a few on silly colds!!

[Tomorrow she turns 3 months old!]
[Time is flying:/]
