sniff, sniff, cough, cough

Sickness has finally hit our little one. I am extremely thankful that it took 9 months until it hit him but its not fun nevertheless. In fact, I now have the sickness and a baby and momma sick at the same time is MISERABLE!

Isaac began to get a bad cough a week or two ago and on Thurday night the cough turned into congestion and the congestion turned into a bad cold. A very bad cold. Needless to say we didn't get any sleep on Friday night...I stayed up rocking him until 3 in the morning and then Steven took over after that. We finally broke down (or should I say my husband finally broke down) and let me take little buddy to the doctor on Monday morning, only to find out it has turned into a bacterial infection (kinda like a sinus infection) and he needed to be on antibiotics. The old baptist hymn "Amen" began playing in my head. So...he's been on medicine for a day and half and feels so much better. Thank goodness too....I don't know if I could have taken anymore of the blue suction ball grabbing snot from his nose. yucky. and now the snot has moved on to my nose and i find myself blowing it every 5 minutes or so. Joyous.

Well, here's to the cold season! Hopefully this will be the first and LAST one we get this year. Okay, okay...and girl can dream can't she!
