First Cold :(

Callie got her first cold before she is even 1 month old. Poor girl can't catch a break with all her ailments. She has been really congested, sneezing and coughing since yesterday. Not much you can do for an infant with a cold. The pediatrician recommended using a humidifier, saline spray and nasal aspirator.
Well what do you know we have a crazy NoseFrida the snot sucker! I think it was time to take it out. If you haven't seen this before here is a photo of what it looks like. You put it up to the baby's nostril then suck through the tube with your mouth to get the boogers out. Gross you say? Well there is a little booger stopping screen so you won't get boogers in your mouth. It works really well so I have to give it an A+, much better than a typical bulb aspirator.
Sorry no photos of it in action, it takes all my hands and body to wrangle her down to suck the boogies out.
So poor Callie is toughing out her first cold with lots of love and snuggling from mommy. Hopefully she feels better soon :( with nosefrida's help we at least can breathe a little easier.
And just for fun here is a photo of Manny with Callie right after the snot sucking. He seemed confused what was going on but stayed right near her even through the crying. He is getting used to her sounds finally.
