Right now, everyone in our family is sick with the same yucky cold. Even Avery. Mike learned something new about me because of it- I hate hate hate blowing my nose.
I always have. It messes up the pressure in your head, and most of the time, I feel like it doesn't do anything. Now there is a study that says just that! And if you do blow your nose, you are supposed to blow one nostril at a time. Who knew?

A bottle update- Avery is doing a little better today as far as drinking goes. She is a lot sadder today, and only wants to be held. I caved in last night- it was the middle of the night, she was hungry and wouldn't take a bottle. So I breastfed her. I am hoping that I can continue to breastfeed her at night, and bottlefeed during the day.
I hope this bottle thing takes soon!!

Blowing noses is gross. I don't enjoy doing it for myself, but I find it even grosser when others blow their noses. However, sucking it down is the most disgusting to me. I'd rather have people blow. oh no wait - the nastiest is handkerchiefs. Sooooo sick. Basically, people who use them carry around their snot in their pocket. What could be more gross?????
I'm glad she is eating some and I really hope for both your sakes that she starts to eat a lot better really soon.
Thanks for the nose blowing info, I also always thought that it never does much good, especially when you're already so stuffed. I hope you all get better soon.
