Snorking the Snot Baby

I have had two very cranky kids with nasty summer colds. Isaac got it first, he had the sore throat, nasty cough and snot like you would not believe. He is pretty easy to del with, being 3, and asthmatic, we have dealt with a lot of bad summer colds. Kayla got sick about 3 days after, which was also the day of her 2 month shots, so really, we are unsure if she had vaccine side effects or if she is sick. She isn't eating more then 20-30 mls a feed, but is eating about every hours right now, she keeps falling asleep or just stops because she can't breath. I squirt the saline up her nose and "snork" the snot out with the bulb, then she eats a bit more and passes out. Other then that, she isnt really lethargic or anything, and the pediatrician is pretty happy with her. She gained 300 grams in 2 weeks, she is now 7lbs 7oz and growing out her tiny newborn/preemie clothes, which is awesome. Recently she has started to stay awake more and just calmly stare around. She sleeps well and can fall asleep on her own. She is a very easy going baby. And, her hair is growing back from her little nicu shave.
I still have baby brain, very busy and very tired, so everything that comes out of my finger tips, I am pretty lucky it makes any sense at all. That is our update, hopefully I will have more to say soon.
