We have had a pretty cranky week here at chez Rogers. Abby has been having difficulty napping during the day, so it makes for loud times, as she is overtired and very unhappy. So, big step tomorrow, we will be embarking on a nap schedule. This will hopefully take care of this problem that is making Mommy and Daddy's days not so enjoyable. :)
Today we went on our first real play-date over to Auntie Jenny's house to "play" with her son Mason, and Kaela and Eva, the other two children she takes care of during the day. It was fun for Abby to see the other kids, and for Mommy to get out of the house and have an adult conversation. This will be every Friday that we have the play-dates, so definitely something to look forward to in the week.

Yesterday we had a big day! We took a trip down to Chicago to the Shedd Aquarium so Abby could see the fishies. She enjoyed it very much, especially the brightly-colored fish. After the aquarium, we drove to Dekalb to introduce Abby to former co-workers at Borders and the Growing Place and to have dinner with friends before heading home. It was an eventful day, and we were all exhausted and glad to be home.

Well, it's been a busy couple of days. Yesterday Abby and Mommy went to Appleton to see Grandma and Grandpa Schultz for a quick visit, and so Grandma Schultz could try her hand at giving Abby a bottle. The bottle has been a long-term issue here at the Rogers house so we have been battling for quite a while and trying many many many different tactics. Someday... :)
Then today we all went for a walk at the mall, Abby chose to spend that time sleeping. The other exciting thing today was that Abby rolled over for the second time! So, we now know that the first time (February 10) was not a fluke. :) She went from her tummy to her back, and was very confused afterwards.

Today Abby went to the doctor for another follow-up on her RSV. The doctor said that everything looks and sounds great and that we can stop doing the nebulizer treatments!

The big event of February so far is Abby's hospitalization for RSV (respiratory syncytial virus). RSV is very common, especially in the winter months, and 90% of children have had it by the age of 3. However, the younger the child when they get it, the more worrisome it is. I took Abby to the doctor the morning of the 11th as she was wheezing and coughing a lot, and her doctor suggested admitting her to St. Mary's Hospital as a precautionary measure so she could be monitored more closely. At the hospital, she was given albuterol nebulizer treatments to open up her airways more. She was an excellent patient (except for when they looked in her ears) and was discharged late afternoon of the 12th. She is steadily improving day by day.
