Lydia started off the morning pretty early around 5 AM, which was honestly later that I expected; she wasn't too unhappy, just hungry. Per the nurse's orders, however, I couldn't feed her for an hour and had to keep up the 10 cc of pedialyte that I had ended with last night. Finally after 50 minutes, I finally gave in and offered Lydia some Cheerios. I thought she would practically inhale the cereal, but it was her sippy cup of water that she really wanted. Lydia drank about 7 ounces of water in one sitting with some Cheerio feedings in between; she normally drinks that much in one day!
She went back to sleep around 6:20 AM and didn't wake up until 9:30 AM, at which time I feed her some frosted mini wheats, pedialyte, and some water. After playing for about an hour, Lydia got tired again, so I put her to sleep and she hasn't gotten up yet. Wow, this infection sure has knocked her out; she barely has her round and profound belly anymore! Oh, the nurse said that GI is going around, so try to stay indoors or make sure to wash your hands frequently.
On the upside, Lydia is getting better, but on the downside, I was informed today that I am a little bit anemic (again) and that I have to take the three hour glucose exam. The nurse said that my glucose level was slightly high and that I probably don't have gestational diabetes, but that I should take the exam just to be sure. Diabetes does run in my family, and it sure didn't help that I had so many sweets during the holidays, but everything will be fine regardless of the results. It's not the end of the world as I keep trying to tell my melodramatic self.
