Two Months

Once again I feel like my kids are growing up to fast. Can my little baby already be two months old? She was just born. It was a busy month in the life of Laura Watt. Shortly after I wrote my last blog about us buying a house I took Laura's temperature and she had a fever. Not sure what to do I called TeleHealth and they directed me to the Emergency Room.

Once there Laura was diagnosed with RSV, a form of viral bronchitis. She had to stay in the hospital for six days attached to monitors, an IV and she needed help breathing with oxygen and Ventolin masking. It was so hard to see my little baby lying there so sick. I wanted to wave my magic wand and make it better but I couldn't. However, all of those hours I spent with her in the hospital helped me grow closer to her. I was amazed the her breathing and oxygen intake would improve when I held her and that she would calm down when she heard my voice. She is mostly recovered now. She has to go to the doctor's on Friday for a check up but we're now starting to take her out of the house.

On a happier note, here are some of the things she can now do:

• Laura has the most beautiful smile that lights up her face whenever she sees something she likes.
• She now kicks her legs and arms around when she's happy. Very adorable.
• She is starting to hold her head up by herself.
• She makes cooing noises.
• She usually only wakes up twice during the night now. Hallelujah!
• Laura no longer sleeps in her car seat. She likes to sleep in our bed on the flat surface.

I feel so blessed to be her mom and even more blessed that she is on the road to recovery.
