..I've been concerned about Rachel's propensity to cough a lot -- in her sleep especially. This morning Drew and I were woken up by Rachel's coughing, although she didn't actually start stirring until 7:45 or so.
I've been wanting to take Rachel to the doctor, but Drew has held off.
Now, it seems, we have a plausible explanation: Teething. Drew was talking to a source of his at the failed Washington Mutual bank. She's a mom, and told Drew that the coughing is probably a result of teething. The teething creates excess saliva, which pools in her throat, which then causes her to cough.
That's a relief. I was worried she had a serious chest aliment, like pneumonia.
