Nose Bulbs

I hate it when Kalena cries. I mean really truly cries. The scream your head off, not breathing crying. Last night her nose was stuffed up and I couldnt get the boogers out with the nose bulb that we had. Come to find out there was a hole in it! Stupid 'Made in China' product. So BJ went and got the other one we have. Unfortunately it sucks! Or rather, it didn't. So then BJ went and got our third one. And of course it was too big to go in baby's nose. We tried them all and she hated it all. Then Daddy tried to use a Q-Tip to gently dislodge them. No go.. and baby was screaming. I couldn't watch because it made me start to cry. I was feeling helpless and all I wanted to do was pick her up and hold her and calm us both down.  No matter how we tried we didn't get them! Then this morning her breathing seemed much more labored and she started snoring a little. So I took the big bulb and shaved it down so it would fit in her nose. But what I didn't count on was the 'needle' being rough and that it might hurt her. So I couldn't use it! I was getting really frustrated because she wasn't breathing easily. What I did finally was take a thermometer and gently used it to swipe her nose... and I got them!!!!!! Yay!!! Those suckers were HUGE. Poor baby. I took a picture of the biggest one and sent it to BJ but I didn't think you'd like to see that picture... so instead I posted a current picture of my baby girl. Stupid Utah and it's dry air. BJ better bring home a filter for our humidifier or else. Laters.
