We started this blog when we were about to become parents and now we have three beautiful babies and while our family is no longer growing in numbers, we're definitely growing as parents.

Of sneezes and babies
I sneeze a lot. It’s called perennial allergic rhinitis. It’s not painful, not infectious, just annoying and exhausting. It strikes without warning and when it does, the day is lost. At the end of the day, I feel as though I’ve been in a dryer – tossed about and washed out. Naturally, it was a matter of concern where our Baby Reuel was concerned.
I gently asked my doc about the effect of these sneezes on my baby. She said, “That’s okay. The baby’s well protected.”
Then it must have been apparent on my face that the answer was not comprehensive enough. And then she caught on. With a broad smile, she said: Don’t worry, you’ll never sneeze your baby out.
I still laugh when I think of this reassurance!
Bless you, doc!
