You and I were sick all weekend. You had a fever. We both had a cold. We coughed in unison. Your nose needed constant wiping. Friday night, while I lay coughing in bed, Dada rocked you. I could hear you, feverish, getting a drink of water and pointing out the cars in the driveway, "a bus, a bug, a trutch..." Even with a fever, knew them all. As he rocked you in the next room, I started coughing and each time, you'd say, "bless you, mama." Which made me so proud and hopeful for you, even in my pregnant, sick state.
This week, we're recuperating. We're staying close to home. We're making lots of smoothies. We're wiping runny noses and coughing in unison. I still don't have the heart to tell you that bless you is for sneezes. When I cough, you always say, "bless you, mama." And I say it back.
Love,
Mama

We had the nasty cold stuff too....and at the same time. I think we are 'finally' getting over it and hope you are too.

So often in Claire's pictures you capture an expression and I can see what she will look like as a teenager or young lady. This is one of those pictures. She's beautiful.
I hope you both feel better very soon.
Wow, I'm out of the loop. I missed your whole pregnancy announcement! Congrats! And yes, we must talk soon!
Wow! Claire you look so grown up! I can't believe how big you are getting.
You're a lucky girl to have a mama that loves you so very much.

Uncle Dave
