Cadence has been fighting the same thing that both Shawn and I had, as well as her big brother. Alex was really really sick, with an ear infection, eye infection, and croup. He's finally over it. I was really sick too. I thought Cadence had luckilly missed getting it, but now she is sick. The past three days she wakes up early morning (5-6am-ish) with horrible congestion. I put saline drops in her nose and then put her in her swing where she sleeps for a few more hours pretty comfortably because she is sitting up. Now she has a BAD cough. It's not croupy or anything thank goodness but its forced and dry and yucky sounding. Poor thing is sitting here hacking away while swinging, but she's sleeping! No fever, thank goodness. But I have a doctor's appointment for her today at 1:30pm. I have to take both kids as WELL as my 7 year old nephew, Dylan, because I'm helping watch him when my brother and his girlfriend are working.
Anyways, its a real bummer that Cadence is sick. I know what they will tell me....saline drops, prop her up to sleep, if the congestion gets really bad to sit in the shower with the hot water running and let it steam up. As it is I'm already running a cool mist humidifier by the bed at night. I hate it when my babies are sick!
On a brighter note, here are some cute pictures of her taken this morning with my NEW digital camera!

I am sorry she's sick; a sick baby is just horrible, you want to help them and can't! I hope she's better soon.
Awww! Poor Cadence.. I sure hope she gets better soon. I use the swing every morning too with Caden. He is always congested after we wake up - going to talk with dr tomorrow. Get better soon Cadence!
