My baby has his first cold. It started last week with the runny, stuffy nose and then continued with the cough and fever. We took him to the doctor just in case and found he has fluid in his ears. It's not an infection but the doctor gave us drops for pain.
I woke up feeling generally icky and B isn't feeling to hot either. Something to do with Peanut not listening to me when I tell him to cover his mouth.
Is there anything more pathetic than a baby who can't breathe thru his nose? He has such a hard time drinking his bottle. I'm in pain just listening to his cough.
I think he is feeling better and I have to say for the most part he is still a happy, smiley baby. He even lets me suction his nose without putting up a fight.
Of course, I spend most my time hovering over him with tissues and ear drops and whatnot.
Poor kid, I don't know what is worse for him... having a cold or having me for a mother. :P
I know how you're feeling! You feel so helpless listening to them struggle to breathe while trying to drink from the bottle. It's heart wrenching. Feel better soon, all of you!
ReplyDeleteHe looks pretty content to me, Mom! (I think you must be doing just fine in his books!)
ReplyDeleteAww, poor baby! It's so hard on Momma when the baby is sick, just breaks your heart! Hope you all feel better soon...
ReplyDeletePeanut is too cute to be sick!!! Feel better soon!!! luvuallbye
ReplyDeleteHaving you for a momma is his biggest blessing!!!!! Poor you, poor B and poor Peanut! A house full of sickies is no fun. And listening to your baby struggle with congestion is awful, especially when they're that young. Hugs and hopes for a quick recovery. :o)
ReplyDeleteI hope you guys aren't sick this weekend! Can't wait to see you!
ReplyDeleteYou are a GREAT mommy! Peanut would be lost without you (and he would be wearing mismatched clothing becasue B would be in charge) :)
ReplyDeleteOkay I'm just going to say it. Even though you're right it's miserable for your babies to be sick... it's also the BEST cuddling time ever. Even now, I love the chance to just hold and cuddle my kids, even though now there are elbows and knees getting in my face since they are so big. And I bet he just loves your comforting... nothing better than a good mama, and you are definitely one! Hope all feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteOh, he is so sweet and so fortunate to have you as a mommy... I love the peaceful photo of him and I love the cute nose peaking through the pacifier...
ReplyDeleteAwww... I hate that for you both. It's just terrible when our children are sick.
