As far back as I remember Declan's breathing has sounded very sheep like. There is no other good way to explain it. Our doctor mentioned at his 2 week appointment that his "mucus is still drying up" and not to worry. Well, now that he's almost 3 months and he still sounds the same I decided (with some Nana encouragement) to take him to the doctor.
Turns out he has narrowing of his larynx (it's official name has 23 letters and I can't pronounce it). So of course I have mommy guilt that I didn't get it checked out earlier but it's all a learning process, right? So from here, we see an ENT specialist in early December so they can take a closer peek down his throat and what not. Sounds like a great time for mommy and baby. Not. Anywho, the doctor predicts that our visit with the ENT will go good and that they'll tell us he will just grow out of it. *Fingers crossed*
Poor little sheep. :(

That's the greatest pic! No worries, mama...we've all done it. :) Love ya!
Oh poor baby...but you did ask about it, you just got the wrong answer! It's a pretty crazy would out there sometimes. I hope all goes well at your specialist appointment, keep us posted!

Try not to worry! I wish I could say that I only felt mommy guilt once.....but that isn't true. Just remember, it isn't life threatening and he is ok :)
