6 month check-up
weight: 15 lbs. 5 ozs.
height: 27 inches
Lulu has been sick all week long. Day care sent her home early on Tuesday with a fever and she never went back for the rest of the week.
Luckily, her 6 month check-up happened to be the same week. She has a very bad cough and the doctor said she has bronchiolitis (not bronchitis, like I thought). Because it’s a viral thing they can’t give her any medication. She just has to suck it up and let it pass. It’s frustrating for us because we can’t do anything to help her with the coughing. Yesterday she coughed so hard that she puked…twice.
Today she appears to be in better spirits. She tires out a bit more easily since she isn’t feeling well. I’m sure the sleep is good for her.
Ok, so back to the check-up. Lots of new things to introduce! She can start drinking water from a sippy cup, we have to start brushing her little teeth and there’s a whole list of new foods that she can try out. In a month or so, we’re onto finger foods! So much to do in so little time…Get better soon, Lulu-bean!
