4 Months Old & Sick


Madison is 4 months old today. I usually take a lot of pictures of her on her monthly "birthdays." However, she's sick, so I figured I wouldn't torture her too much. This is the first time she's been sick. She started getting sick on Wednesday. By Thursday evening, she was really sick. We kept her home from daycare on Friday, and Jeff took her to the doctor. He said that she just had a viral infection, and she was too young for any sort of medicine (cough syrup, decongestant, etc.). So, we just had to wait it out. When I got home on Friday, I noticed that her right eye was watering and all red. I immediately thought she had pink eye. I've had it many times, so I know it when I see it. However, when I discovered this, it was after 5, so we couldn't call the doctor. I had some homeopathic pink eye drops that we decided to give her. It has seemed to help, but tonight it was really inflamed and bothering her. She goes back to the doctor on Tuesday for her 4 month checkup, however, if her eye is as bad as it was tonight in the morning, then we are going to call the doctor back. We did find out that she weighs 14 pounds, 1 ounce!! So, she's almost doubled her weight. Gosh, she's getting so big!!

Okay, so the onesie that she has on is the one that Jeff brought back from the Daytona 500. He thinks it's very cute. In case you can't read what it says, it says, "Mom and Dad are my pit crew." It's cute for a Nascar shirt!!
