About a week after Dani had her 9 month check up she got a cold. It was a nasty one too, a lot of coughing and snot. She would cough so much that she'd make herself throw up and so she wasn't keeping much down. She had some high fevers too. I ended up calling the nurse-after-hour-helpline and was told there wasn't a whole lot I could do for her, which I had already suspected. Chris took her back to the doctor the day after the nurse-helpline and was told the same thing, but we at least got some reassurance that she was okay. So, while it wasn't her first cold, it was her first real bad cold. She gave the cold to me and Chris too. That's how these things work.
As she was healing from that cold, I ended up with mastitis, and let me tell you, that was no fun. I had several fever spikes up to 102° F, and the pain was bad. I ended up going to the Urgent Care Clinic because my own doctor (that you may note I've had problems with) wouldn't get me in....and frankly, the UCC was a GREAT idea. I got in, got my meds, and even got a follow up call a week later. Mastitis is gone, milk production suffered, but we're weaning, so all in all, it wasn't so bad.
Dani still isn't crawling, though we're convinced she's ready to when we tempt her with a cell phone while she's on her belly. She's ready to walk too, pulling herself up when she can and even letting go of objects she holds onto for brief moments. She even takes tiny steps (though not going anywhere) when she does hold on to things. Here is a video of her doing something similar.... [sorry it's sideways]
Without further ado, here are some of her professional pictures at 9 months old....
