the cold (?) that lingers...

K has her first real cold of life now...and to be honest, i'm not even sure it's a cold... i'm not really convinced that it's not something more...but i'm not sure...

we started this on late wed. night/thurs. morning with a night of almost no sleep... she woke almost every 30-40 minutes...sometimes she'd go back to sleep...sometimes she'd cry for awhile until i went to get her and rocked for for a little bit...

on thursday, we did the sneeze feast and a runny nose all day... and, on thursday night, we had a temperature... friday, more sneezing, runny nose...and a cough... we've pretty much had these symptoms for the last several days...no fever...but you can tell she doesn't feel well... she's also INCREDIBLY moody, impatient, and not a happy camper at various points... thankfully, she's had a pretty good appetite...and when she feels like playing, she's happy and content... :)

we're running the humidifier...she gets a few drops of saline drops in her nose to help thin out her runny nose...and i found some wonderful Vicks BabyRub that i put on her chest, back, and neck at night...

a cold? teething? something more? i am not sure... but i have read that your baby isn't sick unless they're running a fever... so, i will give it a few more days before i think about calling the doctor... but for now, i'm just hoping that this cold goes away very soon...
