Croup.

So last night the girls were over watching The Bachelor (it was Monday night after all) and Emma woke up coughing and crying. I went in to get her and she was wheezing pretty bad. Since I have taken Brian to the hospital with the same thing before only to find out he had very little oxygen (he has pretty bad asthma) I was super freaked out. SO thankful to have 2 professional moms over to help me out! Julie found a place called Acute Kids (kind of like a Care Now for kids) in Plano that was open until 11:00 pm. I threw Emma in the car (it was about 10:00 pm at this time) and raced over there. All of the nurses were very sweet and the doctor was great too. They tested Emma's oxygen and luckily she was at 99% and her lungs were clear. Whew! The verdict? Croup. They gave Emma a steroid and a prescription and we were on our way home in about 15 minutes (much faster than Care Now!) Emma slept in our room last night with the humidifier on and thankfully she seems to already be feeling better this morning. It's so sad when your baby is sick! Now we just wait for the huge bill that will be sure to arrive in the mail in a few days... Oh well, no cost is too much for peace of mind!

Speaking of the Bachelor... what is everyone's guess? NO spoilers please! I don't read RealitySteve! I think my official guess is Lindsay. Sort of sad for AshLee to leave, but she was beginning to be a bit much for me especially when she told Sean what kind of ring she wanted and the size?! I mean, seriously? Pretty sure they have that on some form they fill out to go on the show... eek!

Oh! Remember the teething necklace I talked about in my last post? Emma LOVES it! I highly recommend it as a sneaky way to get your 6 month old to sit still... perfect for church! I just might need another in a different style...

Here is an EG pic for the day. Her first time in a restaurant high chair!

XOXO,
