Owen got sick for the third time this last week while everyone was in town. The first two times he got sick, it only lasted a day or two and he seemed to get over it really quickly. He lost his voice and was a bit crabby, but it never stuck around. This last week, he got his first full blown cold and I have felt so helpless with him. He is all stuffy and has the saddest cough that takes everything out of him. The scariest part is he sounds like he is choking when he is coughing and we don't know what to do. If he's awake, he is fighting sleep and can't get comfortable. If he's asleep, he'll literally sleep for hours on end and won't wake up to nurse. I literally have had to wake him to eat and he is super cranky because he is starving and feeling crappy. Poor baby! Danny came over to look at him and sucked all the snot he could out of him and fed him some baby Tylenol and he seemed to be less cranky. (Thank goodness for Uncles that are pediatricians!) This is my last week of maternity leave, so I've definitely been taking advantage of my cuddle time with him. Plus, Grandma Gin Gin comes back Friday and I know she'll steal him once she's here so I've been giving him as many kisses and snuggles as possible!! Thank goodness for an easy baby so far though. He is still sleeping the full 7-8 hours every night since his 7 week birthday and this dreadful cold hasn't pushed him off track...YET.
Feel better Owen!!!
