On 28th, Reese had a rough bedtime. She cried and cried and nothing seemed to soothe her. I rocked her, nursed her more and patted her back. She would doze off only to wake and push up (she rolls to her tummy to sleep now) on her hands and cry. I cried too - it took 2 long hours. This went on for 3 days - I figure it was a growth spurt or her 2 bottom teeth coming in.
We went for a visit at Gigi's. She had gotten a pack-n-play so Reese would have somewhere to be without the darn dog Watson licking her face. She loves to look at him, just not for him to lick her. But we noticed that if we laid her down, she cried. If we placed her on her tummy - she was ok. My know-it-all Mom said "Something is not right." I honestly just didn't want to be that Mom, the one that goes to the Doctor for everything. But, I called and got her an appointment.
Reese cried from Redwood City to Kaiser in Daly City. She cried so much that her voice was hoarse by the time we got there. I strapped her in the Ergo - I figured at least if she screamed, I could comfort her more that way.
Side note: On the drive there, a rock hit the windshield and shattered a portion at the bottom. Nice timing.
Our new pediatrician, Dr. Lee checked her all over. She had me hold her in my lap and finally got to her ears - cleaned them and sure enough, she had an ear infection.
That is why this Blog has not been updated. We have been relaxing. We went up to Roseville/Rocklin for the 4th - but she wasn't well enough yet. We should have stayed home.
Could've, should've, would've.
