Sick Girl Again

Aspen is sick again. Poor thing has been battling a cold for almost two months now. She has had periods of days where she feels better, but then that follows with several bad days. We are going on day 3 of a really horrible cough and lots of yucky green stuff, so I decided to finally take her in to the pedi today. Please send some get well vibes for her if you have them. She needs to feel better. She has pretty much stopped taking solids over the past month. Every once in a while I can get her to eat some jar food, but its very rare. Plus she doesn't want to nurse much, so I'm afraid she's just not getting the nutrients she needs.

Here are a couple pictures from last night. She looks so pitiful it just makes me want to cry!


Trying to smile for daddy,

Poor baby



UPDATE:
We are back from the pedi. He seems to think that she has allergies. Since the cough has been ongoing for so long he thinks that is what the main problem is. He didn't see any signs of any infections or asthma. So he gave her Zyrtec and wants us to try that for two weeks and if that doesn't help he wants to do allergy tests on her. Hopefully the zyrtec will do the trick!

Also, she hasn't been gaining like I thought. She was 14 lbs 3oz today. That's only 1 oz gain from her 6 month appointment. She will be 8 months this week. The doctor didn't say much about that, so I guess he's not worried about it? Seems like she should have gained more than that though since then? Oh well.
