Chapter 4: Jocelyn Gets Sick
By the time Jocelyn woke up to be fed and changed, it was 7:00. I got up from the bed, fed her, changed her, and brought her into our bed for some cuddle time. We snuggled until 7:45, and then Joe woke up and we decided it was time to be up. I made coffee, eggs and toast while Joe took a shower. We ate and I took a shower. Joe came into the bathroom while I was still wrapped in a towel. "DEMI! Jocelyn's coughing really hard!" He said. We ran into the nursery and I tried to calm Jocelyn while Joe called the local hospital.
We arrived at the hospital at 10:25 and the doctor came in soon after. We told him what we were dealing with. He smiled. "Ah, this is common in newborns. They cough a lot during the first weeks of life. This is because they still have a lot of fluids from the womb in their lungs. Just try to burp her often and you'll be fine." He said. I put Jocelyn in her car seat and we went home.
After we got home and ate lunch, Jocelyn took a nap until 2:25. I ran up the stairs and took her out of her crib, snuggled her and fed her. We got downstairs and I put Joe in charge of the princess while I started on dinner. They read books, sang and cuddled. I couldn't stop looking at them while I made our pizza. Joe was such a good father!
