Baby's First Cold


It has been a rough last few days. Starting on Friday evening, Josie started not feeling well. A Mommy knows when her child does not feel well. By Saturday, she was ill. Josie has developed her first cold. She is always smiling, talking, playing and enjoying everything that she does. However, she would not do any of that. Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday were rough on all of us here in the house. No one likes being sick. It was rough on me not being able to help Josie feel better. We are trying everything we can think of to kick this cold in the butt. The humidifier is going, Vicks nightlight is plugged in, playing in a steamy bathroom is happening, everything that we can think of. We are monitoring Josie closely to make sure that her cold symptoms do not worsen, but as of today they are getting better. We hope that by this weekend she will be back to herself. Today, she was pretty much back to her same old self, but still had a slight runny nose and cough. Doctors don't treat colds, so we are doing the best we can with what we know. We have made it 6 months without a cold, so I think we are doing pretty well.
