The past week has been rough as a mom.
Couldn’t figure out what changed in Oaks, and why he wasn’t his happy smily self. I then figured out he was teething and sprouted two teeth, so then on top of that he came down with the worst cold. At first I thought it was his teething that made him have a runny nose, but it was so bad, and then it moved down his throat, and he lost his voice from that.
I felt so bad for him. This was the first time he has ever been sick, so I was SO sad, and so was he. Saturday night, was THE worst night of them all. Mostly because he was so sad and hurting and that made me feel bad. He was so stuffed up and congested he could hardly breath (it sounded like, but he could) I was a mess because I was getting what he had, and so THANK god for my sweet loving, caring amazing husband. (not over exaggerating) I truly am so incredibly grateful for him.
Anyways, Oaks slept in our bed that night and let me tell you. I might have cried with him. Mostly because I felt SO terribly bad for him. He woke up from his coughing and not knowing how to clear his throat, it scared him. My husband and I took turns having him sleep on our chest, we would also get up every 30 minutes to an hour and we would rock him back to sleep.
I was thinking we would need to take him to the ER, but he never had ran a fever. I know most of you have gone through this a lot more than I have, but this is my first go round of sickness and it was so hard and sad to watch. The next day we had lots and lots of cuddles. It was SO amazing. I haven’t had cuddles like that since he was about 3 months old.
He is on the mend now. The doctor said he is just fine, and it was just a yucky cold. Oh, and yes, I did take him in to the doc… I am a first time paranoid mom. Can you blame me? On Tuesday he woke up SO happy, and wanted to play and he was finally getting his cute voice back that I missed for a couple of days.
I wrote on my instagram, what your recommendations were for home remedies, and I took all your advice (they were all SO helpful) and used them, and they have worked wonders on him!
So Thank YOU!
That is why I have been MIA lately. My baby is my first priority, and it is hard to juggle my career and raising a baby, let alone a sick one. Are you moms as paranoid as me and take your baby to the doc for a cold? Share your stories!
