If it was possible for me to clone Andrew, yet a "girl" version of him, Emma would be it. First off, their baby pictures look almost exactly alike. Secondly, they are both built the same way, a little on the "heavier" side. ;) Now, they have both had the same illness pattern. When Andrew was about 13 1/2 months old, we took him to the doctor because of a bad cough and some wheezing. They chalked it up to allergies and gave him an oral steriod, and put him on the nebulizer. He had the same symptoms, the same week each time for the next 3 years. This past week, Emma woke up Tuesday morning coughing and by afternoon had started wheezing (at 13 1/2 months, mind you). I took her to the doctor, and guess what...allergies, she is now on the same medications that Andrew was, the oral steriod, and the albuterol for the nebulizer. I'm hoping this is where their similarities end, as I want Emma to remain my sweet, laid back, quiet child. Lord knows I can't handle another rambunctious child like Andrew! ;)
