Amy's got a bad cough

Amy didn't really get better today. This afternoon the cough made her so uncomfortable that she had to sleep on my tummy. She hasn't done this since 3 months old. She actually was still very good. At the very beginning, when i put her down for her afternoon nap, she went into sleep pretty fast. But she kept being woke up by the coughs. Eventually she gave up, sitting there crying with her eys closed. When i laid her on my tummy and patted her, she slept so well it reminded me of her newborn time. That kind of closeness is gone forever with the weaning. So i have to guiltily say i did enjoy that 1 hour and half of amy's sick time.

She also didn't eat well. I guess her throat was making her uncomfortable.

Tomorrow i will take her to the ped's office. We were hoping that we could save the trip since amy really hates to go to the doctors. But i can't watch her coughing like this any more. Even though i know the ped probably will just tell us to keep her hydrated blah blah blah... still, some words/reassurance from the professional will make us feel better.

Please, whoever is listening up there, let amy be better tomorrow.
