So this is what it feels like
Ah, motherhood!It seems that Bunny Boop has a cold. She was kind enough to share it with me, so I am certain that this is what it is. It is rocking her 2-month-old world right now. No one, it seems, can comfort her the way mommy and daddy do, so I left work and took her to the doctor (to confirm it wasn't more serious than a cold) because she "wouldn't stop screaming" for the babysitter.
Poor thing.
When I got there? She was asleep. So I took her to the doctor. While I was waiting I started to fret. What if it is more serious because I am a sucky mommy? What if I've been missing the telltale clues to a deeper problem? Ohmygawd! It'sallmyfault! But then the doctor came in and I began holding my breath (even when answering his questions - I'm that good) until he passed judgement.
Are you ready?
Her lungs are fine.
Her ears are fine.
Her mouth - also fine.
Conclusion: She has a cold. The doctor said everything I've been doing, from baby Tylenol to keeping her hydrated, is the right thing to do. Just keep doing it, he said.
But, just to be on the safe side, I decided to stay home with her the rest of the day. So, here I am, baby by my side, sharing with you all of the gory details of brand-new mommy-hood.
It could've been you.
