Cold in the warm weather

Since it has been pretty warm here I started taking Baby J out for walks. Unfortunately, the day after Easter he came down with a cold and a cough. The cough started out dry so i thought it was just allergies, but that evening a fever had started :( . So..... this means for the past few days I have gotten about five hours sleep in total and i have a runny nose and sore throat. I can't believe babies can give their parents what sickness they may have! I am pretty sure it's because I have been so worn down and not eating right for these past few days. I just hope that I can stop it from becoming a full cold because I really don't want to give it back to him.

This is the first time he has gotten sick and I really don't like it. I mean, he has thrown up before, but it is the first time he has gotten sick and needs an Rx from the Dr. I feel so bad for him. He coughs his little cough and cries because he is uncomfortable. It makes me sad, but I am so relieved that he is starting to act like himself again.

Every single day brings new and exciting challenges to the mommy-front and I am not only ready to face them, but am also terrified. I am a new mommy, I don't know what to expect. Every baby is different and my baby just so happens to need me to be on roller skated to keep up with him. He is closer and closer to walking each day. He has figured out how to move his walker backwards with his feet (hopefully forwards will come soon) and can hold on to his crib rail or the side of the couch and bath tub for short periods of time before his legs get tired. He is my big boy!

Since he has gotten so big, my bf and I have gotten his clothes together and have sent two bags of baby clothes to South America. We have two more bags of clothes to send if we cannot find anyone who needs baby boy clothes. If anyone reads this blog, let me know and I can let you know what I have here.

Well, it's getting late so I am going to hit the sack. Have a great evening!

Much love,
