So my poor child has his first cold. There is NOTHING worse than your child being sick. Seriously. There is no sickness that you, yourself, can suffer that even compares to an illness (even a minor one!) your child has. Because all you wanna do is make it better. And with an infant? Yeah, you can’t. You can soothe him, but there’s no magic medicine.
He is constantly wheezing. Lots of congestion. And bless his poor heart, he tries to still be the smiley baby he wants to be. He still tries to talk to us, but everything gets choked up. It’s absolutely the most heartbreaking thing EVER.
But last night, and it could’ve been the illness, he SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT. Seriously. We put him down around nine, and I had to rouse him around 6:45 this morning so he could eat. It had to have been a fluke. Because while HE slept like a log, his momma spent the whole night freaking out that he hadn’t made any noises. I can’t count how many times I woke up and listened intently on the monitor, and when I got up to pee, I would go check on him.
Do we think we’ve FINALLY hit that point? The point where he sleeps through the night?
Folks, I dare not hope.
God-our kids are communicating Sarah! Nathan slept from 9-5!
Have you used any sailene drops? That is supposed to help? I dont’ know. I hope he gets well FAST!
It probably was the cold, sorry. With nathan is was because he fianlly pooped for the first time in a WEEK! OMG- it was in his hair, never in my life have i seen such a mess. Of course I wasnt changing him so Mike made it so much worse. I was up at 3 with double fountains, they do not adjust well, they wanted him to eat but he just slept- I was awake holding them. 6 more months of this- sigh.
Im so sorry he is sick
Christina’s last blog post..You asked…
Yeah, we saliene the hell outta that poor kid. And use a humidifier in the nursery. And put his crib up on blocks so he drains while he sleeps. Nothing helps.
Oooh, sorry about the double faucets! Now THAT’S frustrating.. to finally have a full night’s sleep available, only to have your body not cooperate!!
fingers crossed that he is on the path to sleeping through the night!!
