The Neverending Runny Nose

Man, I hate illness!

About two weeks ago, we had to cancel a visit with a fellow childbirth class couple because Gabe was getting a runny nose and their baby was just getting over one. It seemed to clear up, but then started again yesterday and is now accompanied with a cough. In the process, Craig got sick too but seems to getting better.

Gabe also has two new teeth coming in: one the top and one on the bottom which will make a total of 7 teeth. I've been taking his temp, which has remained normal. He is also acting normally, too, so I am not too concerned, but will keep a look out to make sure he improves and does not get worse. I am giving him plenty of saline drops and suctioning afterwards.

But I just hate hearing him cough. Primarily because that means mucus has drained into his chest. But on the bright side, that also means he is coughing it up, which he needs to do.

In the midst of all this, he's beginning to master the art of crawling. It's mind boggling how quickly these babies get good at a particular ability. Just one day they can sit up, crawl, walk, etc.

So what are people's plans for holiday? Like I mentioned in a previous post, we're celebrating Passover, but not in the right way (i.e., having a Seder, Feast of Unleavened Bread, etc.). I think we will progress to that in coming the coming years. However, we're having a dinner and will focus on the Exodus and how that relates to Christ, etc.

I need to send a shout out to my aunt Bea, who sent a lovely e-card to us, thanks much!!
