Visit to the Doctor

Zoe woke up this morning crying harder than usual, like there was something wrong. She also sounded really congested. She had a pink nose and her eyes were glossy, but she did not have a fever. When I fed her it sounded like she was having a hard time breathing out of her nose because of the congestion. Then she vomited during the feeding. A little while later she vomited again as I was giving her her Zantac. So I called her doctor to have him see her today.

When I left for the doctor about an hour later, Zoe didn't sound congested at all (maybe she got it all out with the vomit), she was acting more herself, and she was able to have a good, 4oz., feeding. But I wanted the doctor to take a look at her anyways.

Her lungs are clear. The back of her throat is a little red but the doctor said that could just be from the vomiting. Her ears look okay. No temperature. She weighs 10lbs 4oz with all her clothes and diaper on (they were just checking to make sure she hadn't lost weight...we'll do a real weight check on Monday).

The doctor said there is a stomach bug going around and Zoe may have it which is causing the vomiting and fussiness. So he said to just keep things as is and if she continues to vomit to give her some Pedialyte. And of course, if we're still worried over the weekend (or become more worried) bring her in again. I love that her doctor's office has a weekend sick clinic.

I think whatever it was is gone now. Zoe is eating well today and she's just as playful as ever.

We have her 4 month visit scheduled for Monday. That visit will include shots (ugh).
