Cole's First Cold

My baby's sick! I'm assuming he just caught my two day cold I had last week cause I'm around him 24/7. I'm surprised he hasn't been sick yet because I've been a bunch of times since he was born. He doesn't have a fever or anything like that, just a very very runny and stuffy nose which equals into him not being able to breathe out of his nose and therefore he wont sleep! He's so tired. It's 3:30AM and he's been up for the past couple hours. He's being super cuddly which is cute but once he started blabbing and yelling and laughing at the top of his lungs I was scared he was going to wake up the people living upstaires so I put him back in his crib. He's mellowed out a bit but he's still making little noises. I don't know what I can give him for a stuffed up nose... do they have nasal sprays for babies or something? If anyones reading this and knows let me know... I've tried the aspirator and he was NOT having it. It's the most impossible thing to do in the world on my boy, while I was trying to use it on him it reminded me of the time we were at his pediatricians and I asked the Dr. to check Cole for ear infections (He kept pulling at his ears) and it was nearly IMPOSSIBLE for the Dr. to check. I literally had to pin him down and the Dr. had to hold his head down and he was still squirming like crazy. I got a strong kiddo on my hands!


I was looking at my pregnancy pictures Tonight. It's such a weird thing to see. It was around this time last year when my belly really started to pop out. And I thought I looked HUGE! Then I look at the pictures where I'm like 30+ weeks and it's a whole different story, I am now fully aware as too why countless people asked me if I was carrying twins during my last trimester. I was seriously a whale. I look at the pictures and I'm like really? How did I even sit down???? It's crazy too think that at this time last year he was only the size of a banana!!!
