Don't worry about the croup! Look at the swollen cheeks....


Last night was rather eventful in our house in downtown Canberra. Maisie has had a little cough for a couple of days, just when she wakes in the morning. Once she's up it clears. She has had no temps and no other symptoms. I put her to bed last night and as usual she made no fuss. At around 3am she woke and was rather distressed. I went straight into her room to find her struggling for breath.



It took her straight up to the hospital. A young Irish Dr came and saw us immediately. His first words were 'OMG her cheeks are very swollen. Are they normally this big?'. He was really concerned. I said 'Yes they are. This is very normal. Big cheeks run in the family'. Ha ha. Don't worry anything else just the enormous cheeks. Like her elder sister Jess she has inherited the most beautiful squeezable cheeks. And we love them.....

She is pretty miserable. Ah the joys of CC germs. Had an interview with the preschool teachers today. They are so nice. Around mums age. Remind me of two grandma's. I am so excited for the girls.
