Since my last Maya picked up her first cold since this past cold/flu season. I think she got it from the airport. It was pretty nasty with fever, sore throat, coughing, etc. Fortunately though, she didn't need the nebulizer. Derek got it a few days later. And then I did a few days after that. No one really slept for a few weeks. Derek and I are still coughing some. And I'll just say coughing + pregnancy = bad news.
After Maya got over that cold she picked up another. It thankfully just involved a snotty nose and nothing else really.
In the midst of all the germies (on 8/30), Maya started climbing out of her crib. I knew that she was physically capable of it for a while now but she hadn't really shown any desire to do it. Unfortunately, once she knew out how easy it was she wouldn't stay in. We decided it was time for a "big girl bed". On 8/31, she picked out her new bed and was excited to put it together and sleep in it. I was a little sad to see her nursery change, sniff sniff. I felt like it was still a work in progress. And I'm not ready for her not to be a baby anymore. Although maybe that shipped has long since sailed. Along with her bed, she got a pillow and also got to sleep with a blanket for the first time. The first few weeks with her bed were rough. She was up multiple times throughout the night and wanted one of us in her room or she wouldn't stay in bed. I'm not sure how much of that was sickness/teething/new bed but she seems to be improving now that she's feeling better and her second lower second molar popped through yesterday and she's gotten comfortable in the new bed. She will still sometimes come into our room in the night but usually can be sent back to her room or simply tucked back in. On Friday night, I checked on her before I went to bed and found sleeping in the floor. And it wasn't like she simply rolled out of bed because she was in the middle of her room perpendicular to the bed. I laughed about it, showed Derek, and then scooped her up and deposited her back in bed. She didn't really even stir.

I had an OB appointment on 9/3 at 16 weeks and a couple days. It was a pretty standard boring appointment: weigh, blood pressure, listen to the heart beat. I feel like the weeks are flying by. I have my anatomy scan next week. We are almost halfway through.
