Maybe 3 days in a row is pushing it

We took Emma out for errands for the third day in a row today and learned a valuable lesson: although she enjoys the car, she will only sit in it for so long. The other days we've taken her out, she's been in her stroller a lot more. Today she stayed in the car a lot and wasn't thrilled about it towards the end of the day. But overall, she was a great baby today!

We're about ready for her to be over her little cold. She picked it up over a week ago at the hospital, and she's still a little snotty in the morning. The big problem, though, is that we think all the mucus is draining into her tummy and making her full. She spit up 4 times today (and she doesn't normally do this) in response to 1 burp and 3 choking episodes, and it was pretty slimy coming out. Gross, huh? We still get very frustrated that with all Emma is dealing with, she has diaper rash, gas, and a cold. Really??

Tomorrow morning (bright and early - 8:00), Emma has her first occupational therapy appointment. I have no idea what to expect from this, considering her main needs are along the lines of physical therapy and speech therapy. She begins these two therapies next week. Speech therapy for infants - yes, it exists. Speech therapy is actually what helps kids who have throat issues swallow and eat better. I don't know what to expect from that, either. My wonderful mother- and father-in-law are spending the night tonight, and my mother-in-law is going to occupational therapy with Emma and me.

That's about all for today - nothing very exciting. I will say, though, that God has blessed us with 3 really fun days of cruising around town with Miss Emma.
