| 0:00.0 | Hi, welcome to Big Fat Positive with Shauna and Laura. |
| 0:05.7 | On this week's episode, we have our weekly check-ins. |
| 0:08.2 | We have our special segment, Internet Insanity, where we think you're going to get creeped out and skeved out. |
| 0:14.7 | And we wrap it up with our weekly BFPs and BFNs. |
| 0:17.7 | Let's get started. |
| 0:21.0 | Hi, welcome to episode 74. Hey, Laura, how are you? |
| 0:24.8 | Hi, so my baby is nine months and three weeks, and what we're going through now is that |
| 0:30.7 | we have our first, like, true baby head cold. We've had some illnesses, right, that I've |
| 0:37.4 | talked about, but this is the first one that's |
| 0:39.3 | full on, like, snot and fever and coughing, the whole shebang, you know? So is this even worse than |
| 0:47.7 | than, like, the hand, foot and mouth that he got and that slap cheek thing and all the other |
| 0:51.9 | weird stuff he said? All of those were very mild, |
| 0:54.5 | like extremely mild. They sound like so much more horrible than cold, though, you know? |
| 1:00.0 | Well, I think they can be. They're all viruses, right? So it's all variable how you can |
| 1:05.1 | react to the virus, right? Or how bad the infection is, I guess. I don't know. But I know that with the parvo, the slap |
| 1:12.8 | cheek one, and also hand foot and mouth, it can range from like barely even noticing or like not |
| 1:18.0 | even noticing anything's wrong to some kids, I think, with hand foot and mouth end up in the hospital. |
| 1:23.8 | So I think that's very rare, by the way. But, you know, like it's a thing that can happen. But for us, they were both very mild. Like, you could barely tell anything was wrong. He was just like a little cranky, slightly feverish. But this was like what you think of with a classic cold, right? So that was, you know, not the most fun. It only lasted a couple days, which was good, |
| 1:47.6 | like the worst of it. You know, he has a little lingering cough, but it lasted like three, |
| 1:52.2 | maybe four days, the worst of it. So it wasn't terrible, but it was, you know, it's so hard to |
| 1:58.4 | watch them be sick. I know. It's so frustrating. Well, hopefully his |
| 2:03.1 | cough doesn't linger. Cici's cough, I swear, lasts like eight weeks or so. It's crazy how long |
