Booger Baby

Well, it's happened, and I feel like a horrible mom...Natalie is sick. She started with somewhat of a stuffy nose last night and when she woke up crying to eat a few minutes ago, she was mostly breathing through her mouth because her nose was so runny! My poor baby. She has this different cry...it sounds so sad. I think she's saying "bad mommy" for obviously not taking care of her as well as I should be. Right? Because if I did, she wouldn't be sick...at least that is how I feel. It breaks my heart to hear her little nose every time she tries to breathe. I sat there and suctioned out as much as I could...it's pretty bad. I hope that she gets better soon. I don't want her to feel bad...ever. I know, I can't keep her in a bubble, although sometimes I really wish I could. I used to make fun of those mothers, you know, the germaphobes that don't want anyone or anything that hasn't basically bleached and sanitized their whole bodies around their baby??? Yeah, that's me...guilty. My poor child...she has a crazy mother.

I guess I will go back to bed now...Daddy is taking care of his little girl, and as much as I want to rip her out of his arms and take her into mine, I know he wants to take care of her as much as I do...so I am going to go back to bed. Maybe not back to sleep...but at least back to bed.

If you're reading this, say a little prayer for my baby to better and for all those boogers to go away. Thanks!
