Sick?

For the last couple of days Meg's voice has gotten kinda low, and a little husky. How can you tell on a 5 mo. (almost 6 months--AHHHH) old?? A mother knows. I told Bo and he even noticed it too. Today I'm noticing a little cough too. Not a whole body hacking one, but it's like the hollow kind.
Is she sick?
She's not acting it. She's still happy and smiley. I don't think I should trust that though. I have tough kids. Or at least Carter was, and since he is the only child I've known, he is the example I will be using.
I think I'll call the doctor tomorrow. My mom would think I'm paranoid. I might be, but she's my baby and you can never be sure. A baby boy in our ward had the whooping cough last summer and was in the hospital for a month. I know that Meg doesn't have that, but it's made me very aware of the possibility of sick kids.
My poor baby. Lucky it hasn't phased her.

Oh dang. I just hate the worry that comes with sick kids. My favorite doctor was the one that said, "You tell me, mom, you're the one that knows this kid best, do you think she's sick?" And then . . . and then . . . he listened and never made me feel stupid.

I hate when baby get sick. It's such a pain seeing them suffer. I know what you mean. You know what is best for you baby. If it makes you feel better take her to the doctor.

Sumo baby with a deep booming voice? You should set up some lego houses and have her go stomping through them while filming with your camcorder. Who needs Godzilla? We have Megzilla!!
