Sick Baby

So the past 24 hours have been eventful.  We have a sick baby.  Not a really sick baby but an unhappy baby I will say.  For the past few days he has had this cough that I thought was just him choking on his slobber.  He sneezes 10-20 times a day. He doesn't have a runny nose but you can definitely tell he has some congestion and when he does have snot its a green color.  He can't get comfortable.  He had a 100.4 temp this morning.  He doesn't cry, he just wimpers and wiggles around.  So just to ease my mind, I called this morning and got an appointment to see Dr. Eastham.  I figured that it was nothing but I couldn't live with myself if something really was wrong with him.  I have kinda been sick myself but I blame it on allergies.  I had the cough and runny nose stuff kinda like him.  When we got there his temp was 99.4 and of course he was laughing and being his funny self.  He weighed 12.3 pounds with his clothes on.  When Dr. Eastham came his he listened to him and looked in his ears.  Lungs and ears were clear.  So he said that with the temp he thinks he just has a viral respiratory infection.  Very common with this weather and with a lot of kids lately.  He said that it would last 10-14 days and that it would probably get worse before it gets better. Lucky us! He has done better today that he did last night.  He took a good nap today since he didn't get much sleep last night.  Here is a picture of us waiting on Dr. Eastham.

After the Dr. we went to Hobby Lobby because I have a tutu to make and needed some ribbon.  All the ladies over by the ribbon isle were swooning over him.  One lady said that he was a good shopper and that he would make a good husband one day haha.  Here is my happy shopper!
