Really???

So last Thursday I noticed Cole seemed a little off. He wasn't himself and super whiny. Friday morning, he woke up hoarse and with a cough:( Ugh!! I hate it when my baby is sick. We went a month sick free so I guess it was time for him to catch something else. Friday night, I was up with him all night. Poor baby couldn't sleep. Around 1am, I noticed he felt really warm. Took him temperature and it was 102.8.

Saturday we snuggled all day and kept up on motrin and tylenol. His fever was gone in the morning, but it was short lived. That night his fever was back and he wouldn't even sleep in his crib. Same thing happened Sunday night. By now, I am pooped. I figured he had a fever for long enough, so off to the dr. They ran a flu test. It was horrible. It was a cotton swab as long as my arm! I had to hold him down while another nurse held his head and the pedi stuck it up his little nose:( He screamed worse with this then when he had his blood drawn. And he had lots of bloody boogs...yummy:)

Well, the flu test came back negative so we have to wait it out. Poor baby is miserable! Yesterday he just laid on me for an hour! He hasn't done this since he was a newborn. Cole doesn't just lay still. His fever had returned:( Although, last night was the first time since Friday he actually stayed in his crib for most of the night! He woke up quite a bit, but didn't refuse to lay down. I'm hoping this means he is getting better. He didn't seem quite as congested.

So that's how we spent his first valentine's day. He was crawling around whining and crying pretty much all day:( I hate seeing my baby sick!

Here are some pics of how his gift went down...it wasn't very pretty.

The gift...

The reaction (yes, he is crying)

Wait, there's a card??

Ok, he likes it now....
