Poor Norah has allergy issues due to the pollen. No fever, just cough and congestion. She's not fussy or anything so the dr. said there is nothing to do except saline drops and suction her out. She was on oxygen and in the NICU for monitoring right after she was born. Apparantly this is pretty common for c-section babies, but it was so hard to not even be able to hold her while she was across the hospital hooked up to feeding tube and oxygen. Anyway, I think this has made me weird. Today, Norah and I went to Target for formula and I could barely let go of the buggy. (This is due to my friend who has watched way too many Lifetime movies of freaks that steal babies and tells me to "be careful") then, when I was checking out a lady from church snuck up behind me. Not Nice! Bless her heart, I about pounced her! I feel like a big ol Mama Bear! I don't remember being this weird with Troy! Don't get me wrong, I am perfectly fine with friends and family holding her and loving on her. Troy is at daycare part time while I am on maternity leave, so he goes 3 days a week. When I take him in, ofcourse I take Norah in with me. Oh, the little hands of the 3 year old room! Some of them just look while others are all in her face coughing and touching...Oh My! I do not do well with that either! Thankfully the director told me not to take her in there, to leave her in her office while I pick up/drop off Troy. Thank goodness. I don't wanna go mama bear on the poor 3 year olds! I guess I had a tiny glimpse of what it would be like to have your tiny one sick and in the hospital and germs are really freaking me out this go round.
I am rambling, I know. Sorry, just random thoughts for all 3 people that read my blog! I only have 2 full weeks until I go back to work and I am sooo not looking forward to it. I love my job but She is still so little that it makes me sad.

Snow Grinch
Why am I a snow Grinch this year? Well, unfortunately I don't happen to have a huge selection of snow gear in maternity clothes, that makes playing in the snow difficult. It took me like 30 minutes to find something to wear, and 30 minutes outside, then a big ol wet puddle of mess to clean up afterwards! Also, Those who don't work, don't get paid! I don't get paid maternity leave, so my 5 1/2 weeks of vacation have already been assigned to March. Here we are in January and I know atleast 2 of those days are gone or unpaid! Ugh! I also hate being stuck inside. I like to know that I can safely get in my car and go on my merry way if I want. Today, I didn't clean house, do laundry or anything! Troy and I baked muffins and cookies this morning and after a failed attempt to make a snowman, and the largest snow angel (Mine) ever seen, we came inside and haven't been out since. Even Troy hasn't asked to go play again in the snow! Oh Well. That's my gripe for the week! Baby Norah Kinsley Brucke will be here the week of March 7th! Only 8 more weeks left! Hope everyone else enjoys the snow, but I will be glad to see it go!
