Sick Baby, Sick Parents

I managed to pick up a nasty cold somewhere (not that I have been a lot of places in the last three weeks) but I passed it on to not only Aaron but poor Brinley as well. Her poor little nose is so congested she is having a tough time breathing and eating. We took her to the pediatrician today and he showed us how to flush out her nose with some saline solution to try and help her breath. He said he can't say for sure its not RSV but he is hoping it is just a cold. We are supposed to watch her over the next few days and see if she gets better or worse. So today we are resting while all three of us attempt to feel better. We weighed her while we were at the Dr. office and she is already up to 9 pounds 10 ounces. That is a whole pound in under two weeks! She is up almost two pounds from her birth weight. The pediatrician said that is a good sign that she is doing well.
