The Haynes Heartbeat: {Hannah}: two months old!

Good gracious, I can't believe Hannah is two months old! I'm so excited to see her develop and for what comes next, but since we think H is our last biological baby (unless the Lord changes that! Someday I'll write about our desire to adopt/foster... someday), it's bittersweet when we pass these milestones!

Hannah caught what her brother had two weeks ago, but instead of a head cold, it settled in her chest: bronchiolitis. I thought she just had a cough, and visited the doctor as a precaution because she was so young and I wanted to be sure she was ok before the weekend hit. While there, our doctor expressed concern about her respiratory rate, and debated sending us straight to the ER as we couldn't get her breathing rate down and she might need oxygen. Because he felt confident that we would monitor her closely, he let us go home instead. We did monitor her closely over the weekend, and the illness peaked that Saturday/Sunday. The mucous in her stomach also caused her to throw up almost every meal that weekend, but she managed to stay hydrated and continue to eat. She's still throwing up occasionally because of the mucous as her cough and congestion haven't left (the doctor said it would be around for two weeks). We are so grateful for our friends and family praying over her!
