Well, praise God, Scotty remains well and has not yet caught the monster cold that is going around. Natty seems to be mostly better, other than a nasty cough, but has retained a mostly fussy attitude, which I'm hoping is related to teething and doesn't mean she still has something that needs to be looked into. Poor thing eats like a mouse- good thing she has some reserves in her chunky thighs. I am finally on the mend, after seeing a doctor yesterday who prescribed some stuff for the congestion and some drops for a minor ear infection. I spent most of yesterday sleeping while Scotty took care of Natty, neglecting a whole lot of other things he's got going on right now...what a great husband! My Bolivian friend, Ericka, came over today to visit and made some chicken soup for us. Then Faith sent over some soup with Greg- so I'm good for the next few days. I can't even tell you what Scotty has been eating while I've been bed/couch bound. Did get in a good read by Chinua Achebe: "Things Fall Apart". Very interesting and simply written look into Nigerian culture. I appreciate all the well-wishing and prayers. God is always good and takes care of His children.
One more thing. This is a funny glimpse into how life changes once you have a baby...I know you know what I'm talking about.
Overheard (in baby monitor)
Scotty changing Natty's diaper
Scotty: "Good job Bo-D (don't ask about the nick-name, I have no idea)!
Natty: "Ma."
Scotty: "You're a rock star...a pooping rock-star...you're a poop-star!"
Yes, we might need to get out more.

Reminds me of the (hilarious)conversations I often overheard coming from the back seat of my Toyota as I hauled Scotty and his buddies to and from x-country meets.
