First Cold

No, not for Henry - he had his first cold a few months ago. Nope - this is the first time I have been sick since Henry's arrival. Oh man, it stinks. It is just your run-of-the-mill nasty head cold/maybe sinus infection, but when you have almost zero ability to rest (let alone blow your nose) throughout the day, it really catches up with you. Mike was a huge help yesterday -I even got to sneak a nap in the afternoon - but it is Monday and back to work, so I am on my own. I have loaded up on Dayquil and green tea - here's hoping some of it works (here's also hoping that Henry decides that today is the day he will consistently nap longer than 30 minutes! Yesterday his naps were: 45 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 10 minutes, 25 minutes - The "usual" pattern for a baby his age is 2 naps of about an hour and a half or two hours each. Sigh. We have a child who likes to break the mold, I guess)

Henry MAY be teething again - it is hard to say. He had a temperature of 102.2 on Saturday night but no other symptoms of being sick...sometimes they get a fever when teething. He is also still being fairly clingy, so something is up. He was in a great mood most of last week so we hope our sweet little boy comes back to us soon.

I am off to re-load on medication. I hope all is well with everyone!
