So Mommy has had a really bad cold for a week or so and sounded like she had laryngitis. Well don't ya know that lady gave it to me!! Mommy took me to the doctor's office this morning and I have the Croop. I sound like a seal when I cough and sound hoarse when I talk too!! This bites!! and you know what REALLY sucks - kids now can't take cold medicine!!! Are you kidding me?? Plus, apparently Croop causes your vocal cords to swell from the virus, so the doctor gave me a steroid shot in my leg. Of course, I handled the shot like a champ and only cried for a few seconds....and that was after missing my morning nap since we had to wait so long in the waiting room (lots of sick babies this morning during walk-in hours). Then the doctor was a little concerned that it might be something more than the Croop because I also have this rash as well on my hand and neck, so they wanted to test my CBC levels or something like that, which meant they had to draw blood. Now my Daddy has been telling me stories about how rotten it is to get blood taken from your arm. He told me that when I was a little tiny baby, they took blood from my heel, so I wasn't too worried until I found out they were going to get it from my arm!! I guess when you're almost 6 months old the heel prick is no longer an option (darn it). Anyway, this scary looking man took my blood so I started off not doing so well as I didn't like the looks of this joker, and then it took him a little bit to find one of my little baby veins after he had already stuck me with the needle. But Mommy sang me the "Little Bird" song over and over to try and keep me calm and before I knew it, it was over (see my war wounds in the picture). I did cry quite a bit on this one, but Mommy said that I still did better than Daddy does when they can't find his vein. Guess that means I'm a tough girl huh? Well I hope I get some sleep tonight because last night was tough for me. The doctor told Mommy to raise my mattress up on one side to help my breathing, so we'll see how that feels. I sure do wish my Daddy was here to say goodnight and tuck me in, but he'll be back really soon Mommy said. I miss my Daddy!! Oh yeah, they weighed me at the doctor's office, and I'm now 18 pounds 2 ounces - I'm up to Size 3 diapers now!!
