Her First Cold

Well, Adriana is on the tail end of her first cold. Por thing—a 100.8 degree temperature in the middle of summer!! I can't believe how good she was, though! There was only one night that she didn't sleep well, and that was the night her first tooth broke through too. The Ora-gel helped her tooth, but it didn't help her stuffy nose and cough. So after a few days on Dimeatapp and benedryl, she seems to be a much happier baby. Her appetite still has much to be desired, but she's at least taking more than five ounces twice a day.... And now we know officially that benedryl makes her sleepy, so we will be able to use it on our trip to the UK in October.

I was hoping to head home tomorrow. I still might, but I'll be coming back down toward the end of the week for a funeral. We got word Sunday morning that my cousin, Doug Moseley, died of a massive heart attack Saturday. No one knew that he even had heart trouble, so it was even more of a shock. Though when we do head home, it will be to start packing up the house to get ready to move. My parents both said they were okay with us moving in toward the end up September. We won't be able to get out of our lease, but even so, we'll still be able to save $400 a month by moving in September. Then I'll just go down to the Springs a day or two a week and work on packing until our lease is up at the end of January. By then, I should have everything packed and cleanded and ready to move to the storage unit.
