The Weekend I Wish Never to Repeat

I feel like I have been very blessed in the sleeping babies department. But this last week was difficult. Morgan was not sleeping good at all. She wasn't wanting to get up and eat, she was just restless. I was having to go in multiple times a night to wrap her back up and give her her paci. Friday night she had her bath and then after eating most of a bottle decided that it was time to puke it all back up. The poor thing. So we got her changed and into bed where again she was restless all night. Both her and Carter got up at 6 and after eating and being up for a while they decided to go back to bed. At 9 Craig went in and got her, she was being a little fussy, and changed her diaper. She had a little cough every once in while, but other than being fussy I didn't really notice anything amiss. We tried to give her a bottle, which she gagged on and puked up some more stuff. I noticed that she felt a little warm to me so I took her temp and it was 101.1. I gave her some tylenol and after about 45 minutes of fussy baby she seemed to be getting hotter. So I went and took her temp again and this time it was 102.8 with tylenol in her. So I called the doctor and she said, "GO to the emergency room."
My mom and dad came over and watched the boys and off we went. After watching(and sitting there helplessly while they poked her and made her cry) the ER doc finally came to tell us that she has an urinary tract infection and they need to admit her to give her meds and keep her on an IV. At first they put her in the NICU but they needed her bed for a little baby and moved her to peds. She finally got to come home on Sunday at 2:30 pm after 3 IVS, numerous other blood draws and fun times in a big cage.
She is doing better now, but the medicine that she is on is making her puke and she gags on it. We go tomorrow for an ultrasound and then we go to the doctor on Thursday. Hopefully we will find out why she got the infection and what to do to treat it so she doesn't get another. I know that they say like mother like daughter but this is one area I hope she is not like me. I will keep this updated when we know more.
