Tomorrow it's supposed to be over 70 degrees, Zoe B isn't throwing up or coughing her brains out, and Aunt Jess comes next week. All is well. (knock on wood)
Zoe threw up for ten days straight after we returned from Arizona and that was, as you can imagine, horrendous. She lost 4 lbs and became slightly dehydrated but nothing serious enough to require IV fluids (Yay breastfeeding!). It SUCKED. My mom came down for a weekend and made it suck less, but it still sucked. Zoe loves her - I think she can feel the mom vibe. They cuddled a lot.
Now that Zoe B is better, she's working hard to return to her fighting weight. She is eating up a storm and nursing constantly. It's incredible. My child, who has for the most part always turned her nose up at solid foods and snubbed breastfeeding in public, is now a voracious eater and enthusiastic public nurser. Today she joined Stephanie and I out for lunch and she just sat there and ATE. The whole time. NUTS!
Here she is with a giant cookie (thanks, Grandma Jackie!).
It's so good to have my healthy, rascally girl back!
