first cold

As you may have already heard, Kelly did well on her 4 month checkup at the pediatricians, who not coincidentally, is our doctor too (yea Med-peds docs!). Dr. Hardin said that she is tall and thin (70th and 50th percentiles) and he laughs everytime he tells us what her headsize percentile is (75th, btw) because we usually make a remark about being a Baird (with gi-normous heads). Ironically enough, the very next day she started showing signs of catching her very first cold--lots of snot, crankier than usual, snugglier than usual, didn't sleep through the night, a slightly raised temp (but not a fever). Dr. Daddy thinks its a cold. I've always been a germaphobe --it was a good survival tactic during the days that we didn't have health insurance as kids and never knew if our parents would take us to the hospital or not--so it is hard to admit defeat when the telltale signs of an infection manifest. I work so hard at not getting sick in the first place--and have a pretty decent success rate to prove it--but once we get sick I just try to ride it out as comfortably as possible. So anyway, this cold seems pretty mild so far although the sleepless night that we had gave me quite a headache!
