Little Brother


Our little buddy is growing like a weed! Today we went to the doctor for what was supposed to be our 2 month check. We were scheduled for this last Wednesday but, I was too sick to go. I have had the "crud" for 2 weeks now! I have had my fingers crossed the whole time that Tripp wouldn't come down with it, but yesterday he woke with a stuffy nose and was "croupy" as he could be. Today instead of getting our dreaded shots we had a visit to get him checked out. Bring on those wonderful breathing treatments, we have a touch of RSV. I am a basket case because I have never had one this small get sick. I think Clete was almost 2 before he had so much as a cold! We did get some stats though: 12 lbs 11 oz and 23 1/4 inches long. He is a chunky monkey! The doctor also threw me for a loop when he put the little booger on cereal! When he asked how Tripp was eating and I told him that he was still eating 5 oz every 2 hours, that was his solution! We go back for a follow-up Friday, hopefully the breathing treatments do their job. Even though he has a terrible deep down nasty cough and gross "stuff" coming out of his nose, he is still just the happiest little thing! He is just cooing away, it is the sweetest sound! I have a feeling that even though his shirt may say "Little Brother", he is going to give his older brothers a run for their money!
