Okay, so as first time parents, we get to experience all of the "firsts" the good, the bad, and the ugly. I jinxed myself because the other day I was telling Casey, "Lucas is almost a year and he has not been sick once." Well, as soon as I said it, we both knew that he would get sick.
Sure enough, a week later, he started having a runny nose on Tuesday. Wednesday, he started sounding a little more raspy, but more of the same runny nose, and I happened to schedule a doctor's appointment for him just in case for Thursday. Well, Thursday morning at 3am, I hear this little tiny noise coming from his room. I went into check on him and he has this little tiny raspy cough. New Moms, you can totally relate to what I am about to say, Mom's who have, been around the block, let's say and have grown kids, may remember. And Ladies who are not Mom's yet, but will be someday, will experience this same feeling.
Hearing your child cough for the first time is the most heartbreaking, helpless feeling, EVER! There is absolutely nothing you can do for them and yet, you know they are not feeling well. I wish more than anything there was some magic potion that would make them feel better, Oh wait, I know, it's keeping my mouth shut and not jinxing the poor kid. It sure sucks having a sick baby.
September 19th was my parents wedding anniversary of 29 years! They stayed at the Woodmark Hotel in Kirkland and Lucas thought it would be fun to surprise them and go have lunch together. It was a gorgeous day to be on Lake Washington. We had lunch on the water and then walked on the dock to see the boats and the airplanes and the dogs and ducks! What a fun afternoon. Happy Anniversary!
