Ellorah Ohana Snotden

And oh, what a snot-den it has been!

Our baby has snot, and lots of it! Oh yes. Got it from her daddy and it's just so nice, and now I have it too. She did get to play hookey from school on Friday, b/c her paranoid mother wanted to take her to the dr, just in case it developed into something more over the weekend, and we definitely didn't want to have to make a run to the ER! We all know how that goes! SO, we took her in, they checked her out and said she was fine...just has snot. mmmhmmm. We knew that. Thanks. Anyways, she is starting to feel much better. She is tolerating the saline drops and aspiration, if the definition of tolerating is screaming like we're putting her in a pot of boiling acid. But, no, she really is doing pretty good, considering. She is putting up with her crazy parents very well, and is really doing great on her sleeping...usually going down around 9:30, and waking up around 4:45 a.m. I wish she'd go a little longer, until 6 a .m., but I'm not going to push my luck. Now, if she can just get her mommy on that schedule. I keep waking up every 2-3 hours to check on her, making sure she's okay, and she is, sleeping away! One of these days she's going to wake up and catch me with my face right up against hers, so I can feel and hear that she is breathing properly. We did not try to put her in her crib to sleep this weekend as I previously posted, with the snot and all, I was too paranoid. So, we'll have to give it a go next weekend. We got her a nice purple plush hippopatamus (say that 3 times fast) easter basket, and a cute little lullaby gloworm to go in it. I've got to find some other things to add in, maybe some nice candy that mommy would like! hmmm! I'm hoping to get some more pictures taken and posted soon, she is getting so big! She weighed 12 lbs. 10 oz. at the dr's the other day, they were quite pleased, as was I!!
