Allie and AJ were born in November. I remember being so worried about them getting sick as infants. I bundled them and tried to protect them from all the other germ infested children. Aside from one mild asthma-ish thing Allie contracted around 6-months, they both made it to a few weeks before turning a year old with no sickness. Not even colds. After turning a year it has been a different story, but I am proud to say they stayed well as tiny babies. My poor Baby Anna on the other hand has had too many colds to count since she joined our family and along with those colds she has had (in no particular order):
2 bouts of the croupe
Bronchiolitis
Hand, Foot and Mouth-only the mouth part though
and 2 ear infections-Allie and AJ have never had an ear infections so I was not prepared for how miserable those can be.
I feel so bad for her. This winter all 3 kids and myself just can't shake the colds. We get better for maybe 2 weeks and then it all starts over. I feel sad for all of them, but mostly Anna. I hope this will mean later on her immune system will be strong?? (I am trying to be positive).
We all just got over the most recent cold, and ear infection for Anna, and now she is getting her top teeth and boy-o-boy is she miserable. I just hate seeing such a happy girl feel so sad. I am really hoping they will break through soon because she needs a break.
These are the kinds of looks I get when I try to put her down today:
