First Cold

   Yup. Jacet caught his first cold. I never knew a little runny nose could cause so much lost sleep! The first night he was up every hour, but really I should say every half hour because it would take about a half hour to get him sleeping in the crib. He would wake up every time I tried to put him down. I knew he would probably be up a lot, but I was not expecting THAT much of a sleep disruption, and being unprepared for lack of sleep is not fun at all.

all bundled up!

   The next day was not much better. I turned the heat on and bundled him up to keep him warm. Most of the naps consisted of bouncing him in my arms because he would wake up if I tried to lie him down. He couldn't and didn't nurse very well because he couldn't breathe through his nose. He wasn't his normal playful self and needed mommy to be with him at all times. Needless to say, we were both running on serious lack of sleep.

Luckily, he slept a lot better the next night. Maybe because I got out the humidifier. He still woke up but only a few times. Today he was almost back to normal! It was a cold and rainy day so I bundled him up in nice warm clothes again. His nose is still runny but it doesn't seem to bother him as much today. He even took several nice long 1+ hr naps and I was able to nap with him. I think we're both feeling refreshed. As I type, he is sleeping in my arms after we both fell asleep while nursing, making this nap a nice long 2 hours. Hopefully tonight we'll be back to sleeping through the night!

feeling better!

Oh, a little side note. Did I mention that Tomo and I both have colds as well? Not a fun house to be in right now!
