My newborn is sick for the first time and I'm at work!!

[Shanda]

I feel so sad that I had to take her to daycare today. I've dreaded the first time she would get sick because I knew I would just cry all day . She's only three months, she was perfectly fine this morning she didn't cry or anything and she ate fine. I just feel like she should be with me, this is such a terrible feeling. Oh, what I wouldn't give to be able to take off everytime she was sick but, I can't. She's congested, and her little nose was just running I've called her pedtrician already to see what I can give her for the congestion. No answer yet so I just wait and worry. I'm sick to and my chest feels horrible so I know how her little chest must be feeling. This sucks. Just wanted to vent.

Hi Shanda! I can so feel your anxiety. I was the same way with my first. You'll always worry and feel guilty but it does get easier as you get used to seeing them have colds. It will be okay mommy;-) Take Care and I hope your little one is feeling better soon.

I'll say a little prayer that your little one feels better. If you can, try to take a day off to be with your new baby while he/she is under the weather. Most employers can relate, and you'll feel better too. I know this isn't always an option, hang in there.
