First Cold

Well, 4 days in, and our sweet LC officially has his first cold.

I could tell at 4:45am this morning when he woke up to eat (pretty good considering he last ate at 8:30pm and was asleep by 9!)that the sniffles were starting. But he ate, and promptly went back to sleep...until 9am!

Then the day began and we took his temp, 99.0 at noon, and 100.3 by 2p, but back down to 98.3 by 4p.

Add in some drooling (standard), a snotty, runny nose, a first try at baby saline mist, lots of nursing, hugging and cuddling, and yes, if you can believe it, smiles, and you've got LC with a cold.

I feel so bad for him but he seems to be handling it like a champ! Naps are few and far between - can eek out about an hour, maybe 2 in a day (at least today), but he may be down for a long one now (um at 7pm, is that bad!?) And hopefully a good night's sleep and an on the mend LC tomorrow.

So all the changes between work, daycare, and our first weekend home, LC had just had enough lol. He's a trooper that's for sure! We had a blast playing on the floor this afternoon, getting lots of laughs!

Oh and poop, yes how could I forget. We went to take his temperature around 2pm and it took 3 tries to get it- why...well the thermometer would be in there for about 15 seconds (it takes 60 to get an accurate reading - really 60 seconds is an eternity to a baby! & parents, but apparently that is the going rate these days), and then poop comes squirting out lol! We were all 3 cracking up! It happened twice! Love our little angel :) So two changing pads and one outfit later, we got a good reading :)

Ah parenthood - I wouldn't have it any other way! :)
