Under the Weather
It’s just a fact of life that when you have kids, you have colds. Sam and I have been fighting one for more than a week now (combined). For the most part, he’s been a real trouper, never letting his faucet-nose stop him for a minute. Then, this weekend (of course when my symptoms REALLY kicked into high gear), he started running fever…and he was pretty pitiful. He’s taken two naps a day. He’s woken up at 4:30 the last two mornings needing baby tylenol. He has wanted to cuddle (the ONE benefit to baby sicknesses–cuddly babies). So, I’m sorry I haven’t gotten more posts up this weekend, but I’ve needed to give some extra love to my angel. And in the morning, I’ll be calling school to let them know Sam won’t be there, and then the pediatrician; two days of fever makes me think it’s not just a cold anymore. I think we may be looking at the season’s first ear infection. 🙁
(On the upside, I think I’m on the downhill slide of this crud…though I think Daddy may be catching it now. How does he always holds out longer than Mommy on these things?)
