A sick baby and an emotional mommy
Something is wrong with Zoey. Her poopy diapers went from the normal seedy mustard yellow to a runny-ish green sometime earlier last week. I thought maybe it was just changing but apparently that was my sign that something more was wrong. Over the last few days she has turned into a baby that I don’t even recognize anymore!
She is screaming constantly. So bad that it is almost as if she is going to stop breathing while doing it. She isn’t sleeping well. She only sleeps for a short time and then is up and screaming again. It’s hard to do any simple tasks like changing her diapers or her clothes because she will inevitably scream.
Gene has done some research and we are thinking it is either a gastrointestinal virus, rotovirus or a milk allergy. I am calling the doctor’s office as soon as they open in the morning and try to get her in ASAP. Something is not right with my baby and someone needs to fix it right now.
I have cried I Don’t Know How Many Times in the last few days. When she is inconsolable and sooo upset and I can tell she is in a lot of pain, I feel helpless and really really sad for her. My heart is breaking into pieces for my sweet little baby. I want my “normal” baby back!
This is a very mellow Father’s Day, to say the least. I’m hoping we can celebrate next weekend. We both love Gene to death. He is a wonderful Daddy and without him I wouldn’t even be able to get through this tough time right now.

Sending you many hugs, I hope you can find out what is bothering poor Zoey really soon. Thinking of you <3
If the doctor cannot get you in right away, I would go to the ER. Don’t take your chances, even if it isn’t something serious, it is better to know than to miss something.
forgot to say that I am praying for you all and hang in there! Happy Father’s Day to Gene!!
From my very limited knowledge, the green diapers sound like an allergy. I’ve also heard it’s nothing to be concerned over. I would say you’re definitely doing the right thing, though, by taking her to the doctor. Better to be safe than sorry. I hope she feels better soon.
