RLT's Big Bed(s)

          This week has been a big one for our little girl.  Not only did she transition from her small bassinet to her big crib...

...but she also spent a few hours in a big hospital bed.

          In the middle of the week, we noticed that RLT was starting to become congested.  By Wednesday evening, she was sleeping a bit more than usual and had a temperature of 100.8.  Our pediatrician recommends that anyone with a temperature of 100.4 of higher at her weight should go to the ER.  So off we went.  What made this an even more stressful night was that RLT and I were in Indianapolis visiting Gi-Gi with Grandma Honey Dearie.  Daddy was at home in Louisville.  Needless to say, we were all worried.  Our little angel had to undergo a variety of tests to rule out a variety of infections.  She had a chest x-ray, RSV swab, urinalysis, and blood work done.  Thank goodness all of the results came back negative.  She did not have pneumonia, RSV, or the flu.  Basically, she had a good, old fashioned, cold.  Poor thing!  

          As far as her demeanor went, RLT was a champ!  She smiled her way through this cold.  And, she showed her giving spirit to both her daddy and me!  (cough, cough)

     

          This week also marked the day when RLT turned 2 months old.  We can't believe it!

          For anyone who is familiar with the Ohio Valley, you will not be surprised to hear that we had 60 degree weather for a couple of days this week!  Even with our colds, we had to take advantage and get some fresh air.  It was wonderful!
