Sicky Baby

Two nights ago I woke up around midnight to a very unhappy baby. He was screaming and crying, and I thought he probably just had a bad dream. So I picked him up and snuggled with him until he fell back asleep. 45 minutes later I woke up to a coughing baby, and that's were it began. By the time morning arrived I had a sniffly coughing baby. His first cold! I am so sad! I know eventually we all get sick, but it breaks a mama's heart to see her baby suffering in any way. We spent the first day snuggled up near the vaporizer to help his congestion. The day went fairly smoothly, but it was an exhausting day. Lets just say I didn't get any house work done and we had pizza for dinner, (did you know Safeway does $5 fridays? They have whole roasted chickens and family sized pizzas for only $5!) I got Leon to fall asleep by 9:30, and then over the course of the night he woke up 6 or 7 times because he was either hungry, or just not feeling good. He had a slight fever by 5am (99 degrees, when he is normally 97.6) so I gave him a small does of baby tylenol and his morning bottle. He slept again until 8:15 and here we are now, sitting next to the vaporizer. He seems more congested today, but hopefully he starts feeling better soon, I hate to see him so miserable. The adorable part of all this is that even though he feels like poo he still smiles and giggles when we play. He is such a trooper!
