Short Complain Fest

I went to the doctor today and everything was good with baby :)
(okay... that's not complaining).
But really, whenever I lie down she immediately shoves her little foot into my right rib and just chills with it there all night.... so uncomfortable.
And at night my sciatic nerve bothers me SO much that it's hard to get out of bed and check on Emma (which I have to do at least once every night... we'll get to that in a minute).
That and I have to get up and go to the bathroom a couple of times each night and if I don't my braxton-hicks contractions get BAD.
Okay... done complaining about that.
Now I'll complain about getting up in the night to check on Emma...
For the last two months she has had a coughing attack every night.
It lasts between 30 and 60 minutes.
One night it even made her throw up.
So I talked to the doctor a couple of times and they said the usual...
run a humidifier, blah, blah blah.
Anyway, none of that was doing any good, so I took her in today and talked to them.
I think he was surprised when I told him how long it had been going on.
And then I told him I had asthma, and I think that pretty much sealed the deal for him.
He thinks its a "mild case of children's asthma" (those were his exact words).
Anyway, so tonight we started her on a low dose medicine and hopefully that will help to not cough at night anymore and we can both sleep better!!
Anyway, other than that life is really good. We are all super busy and super happy :)

Sometimes it just feels good to vent! :) Hopefully the medicine will help Emma! Glad the baby's doing great!

We had the same problem with Emily when she was about the same age. I hope the meds help.
