Poor Bee...

STATUS: 18 weeks; her first cold

Poor Bee...she has her first cold. Only +200 more to go and she will have experienced them all and built some sort of immunity to them all. Luckily I am breastfeeding so this should support the necessary antibodies to help speed up the recovery.

Overall she is still the normal, happy, giggly Bee; however, with a green, slimy runny nose, coughs, and sneezes (although, the coughing, sneezing and congestion has shown signs of letting up - [*knock on wood*]). Oh, and the poor thing's nose is raw from all the wiping of the gunk...won't be until she's about 4 when she can actually learn to blow her nose into a tissue. We have the humidifier on, dropping saline drops in her button nose to help the congestion, and stand with her in the bathroom for the steam in the shower to help with the pressure in her noggin.

Last night she woke up about four times because she couldn't breathe. I am just glad that she is sleeping through the night, still has an appetite, and does not have a fever [*knock on wood, again*]. Here's to our little girl feeling 100% sooner...I would hate for her to still be sick and/or relapse when she starts daycare in a couple of weeks (they say babies will come home sooner than later with colds in the initial few weeks of daycare - and with the weather changing....*sigh*)...

Here's a few from the past couple of days...

YOU CAN SLIGHTLY SEE THE CRUSTIES I'VE BEEN WIPING AWAY...



THIS IS 'THE LOOK'....RIGHT WHEN YOU CAN TELL HER MOOD IS ABOUT TO CHANGE FOR THE WORSE, IT'S LIKE A WARNING THAT YOU BETTER DO SOMETHING QUICK OR I'M ABOUT TO WAIL BLOODY MURDER...



OH GOOD....MOM CAUGHT THE WARNING AND GOT BEE SMILING AGAIN - THAT'S THE BEE WE KNOW AND LOVE!!!....




THIS IS THE TIRED/SICK LOOK WHEN SHE STARES OFF INTO SPACE...
