Maya is a source of germs

It finally happened: Maya contracted her first cold. The oozing started on Wednesday night, and by Thursday she was coughing, sneezing and with a big fever of 101 degrees. Thursday night Maya screamed for hours and hours and could only sleep with my hand on her tummy, next to me in bed (no sleep for me). Of course, I was panicked, and we headed to the doctor on Friday morning (was it an ear infection? ebola?), where we learned that it was, in fact, a cold. She is on the mend now (knock on wood), which is more than I can say for us–both of us are sick and back to work while trying to be decent hosts for Mustafa’s parents.

These pictures of are a passed out Maya. She’s sleeping quite a bit these days as she recovers, but waking in the middle of the night–unusual for her. This leads to more naptime during the day, and when we’re lucky, the naps happen on our shoulder.

Note: Of course Maya is showing off her tummy. As always.
