2 weeks and what a welcome we've given her!

My heart hearts.

I love my daughter and i can't believe she's already two weeks old. She had jaundice when she was born and didn't seem to feel all that well. We went and got her checked at her one week appointment and she seemed to be doing well. (she had also gained almost a pound in a week - 7lbs 4oz!! - the doctor couldn't believe it and said i should sell my breast milk on e-bay to those whose babies had problems gaining weight. it was pretty funny. He actually made us weigh her twice. Anyway -) Well, Larry had been coming down with a cold so we made the rule that he couldn't hold her or anything and if he had to he had to wash his hands. We also sprayed disinfectant on furniture and everything he touched...i had thought. Despite our efforts Reagan got sick. Tuesday night she seemed a bit off and had a hard time falling asleep. By Wednesday afternoon after letting her sleep to her hearts desire, she had started to develop a cough so i called the doctors and got her an appointment for Thursday morning. By Thursday morning she had a bit of a harder time breathing so they decided to test her for RSV, which came back positive. Sad day and scary day. She's so young and it's scary to see her sick and struggling to breathe. We've gone to the hospital everyday since to check her because the doctors are worried because she's so young. Well after a few sleepless nights, the doctor said yesterday that she's probably hit her peak and that she shouldn't get any worse. She's been such a trooper and we sure love her a lot. Please keep her in your prayers.

Next time Larry get's sick, he's moving out.
