Josie has a cold

I have been trying really hard to be a good mom and to keep Josie away from sickly people and their germs. Well... She is sick. a week after she was born she started to sound somewhat congested, and it has just lingered. I figured it was because I had a cold after she was born. But then this week she started sounding more and more congested and started having a cough. Well we took her into the doctor yesterday after a bad night of her coughing and sounding awful. He says that it is probably a cold but could easily turn into RSV since that is going around. He told us what to watch for. Just in case we need to bring her back into the doctors.

There is basically nothing we can do to give her to help her start feeling better. So we bought her a cool mist humidifier, and my sister in law told me that when her kids were congested she would hold them all night to help elevate their kid and have all the junk flow down. well Cory and I like our sleep way too much so we put her bouncer chair in her crib and have strapped her in. She really likes sleeping slightly elevated and I think the humidifier is starting to help. She still sounds pretty congested but she sounds better when I'm feeding her rather than her fighting to eat and breath. I hope she gets feeling better soon. It breaks my heart every time I hear her coughing and sounding so full of junk.
