(2/4/12 - 2/17/12)
First let me say that I am the proud Mommy of a 21 pound 8 month old!
Well it was inevitable Violet had to get a cold eventually, but I would have much preferred a normal run of the mill snotty nose, or heck even a mild fever that only lasted a day or two. But of course the worst and longest cold that any kid in this family has ever had to date had to hit ALL of the kids! But poor Violet being so small and unable to blow her nose and understand what is going on, and of course too young for medicine took the brunt of it.
Luckily it wasn't the flu, but a cold virus. But we had to endure almost two full weeks of so much snot that between Violet and the boys we went through 4 1/2 boxes (I kid you not) of tissues and there was so much snot that Violet got an upper chest cough that lasted the whole time and kept her up at night. Have you ever tried to wipe a 8 month olds nose? Well it is a pain in the butt!!! Sleeping was a nightmare for two weeks and any resemblance of a schedule was thrown out the door these past two weeks. Eating was a no go because nursing with a completely clogged nose is pretty impossible so Violet could never get full while nursing so wanted to nurse every hour or so and get as much as she could. She wasn't even hungry for food, and would occasionally eat her "finger foods" when she wasn't sleeping or crying. My poor little baby! Hopefully we don't get that cold again, two weeks of this is more than I can take!!
And yes folks, that "O" is stuck on her face because of snot! YUMMY!!!
