There's a First Time for Everything

Our poor little baby officially has her first cold! Now, we have been so blessed thus far. Gaby has been the picture of health for the first nine months of her life. I guess everyone has to get sick at some point but it certainly is no fun. Our little sweetie has been running fevers and a very constant runny nose (ick!). Yesterday, she really wasn't feeling well at all. Instead of her usual independent, exploring self she would just crawl over to me and lay her sweet head down on my chest whimpering and having trouble breathing. It is just heart breaking watching your little one be so miserable and not really be able to do anything for her. She also really hates having her nose wiped! So mommy ended up with a t-shirt covered in snot (double ick!). Last night, Byron took out his doctor tools and was able to look in her ears and see the beginnings of an ear infection. So we got Gaby on her very first round of antibiotics. Thank God they make the medicine taste good! We were travelling again this past week so I blame the illness on being around so many people. But again, we have been very lucky and Gaby has never been sick before, so there has to be a first time for everything. It's your turn little girl:)!
