One of those tough times being a mom is when your baby is sick. Poor Olivia has a cold :( No matter how much medical training and knowledge you have, when your child is involved, there is no rational thinking.
It is just a cold but it gets me thinking of Livy's first month of life. There were many many blood draws, injections of all kinds, a couple IV's and one that was in her head (worst thing a mom can see), a spinal tap, catheter, my poor daughter had some rough things at the beginning and I just cried and cried and cried. Now she is super healthy with a little common cold. I still don't like it. Her breathing is rough with some congestion and she has the littlest cough.
Olivia won't let me leave her side. She cried when I tried to go to work yesterday. There was going to be none of that. She trusts me and expects me to be there and make her better. WHAT A RESPONSIBILITY! She sure is all about cuddling right now.
I decided that there is so much more to being a mom, the job description is pages long. I am grateful for the experience of motherhood.
Even with just a little cold. . .I still don't like it.
