& No shots because...they found a double ear infection. So he is now on antibiotics and will go back next week for his shots!! Poor guy is just having a hard time with all of this. But the doctor did say go ahead and feed him...not only that but he said feed him anything we want besides peanut butter, shellfish & eggs. As long as it is a consistency he likes and take it slow introducing them. He also said he doesn't need to eat all night like he is so as soon as he gets better we MIGHT try to fix that. We will see how strong I am. He is so cute and it is so sad to see him so miserable. I hope he feels better soon.

Sick Baby

Sick babies are not fun.



Connor had a little cold for a week and I thought we got lucky that it never turned into a bad cold. Then 2 nights ago he started coughing a ton and it looked like he couldn't catch his breath when he would cough. So we took him to the doctors and sure enough he had Croup.

So the doctor gave him a steroid shot to help reduce the inflammation in his airway and we left. We have been doing lots of steamy showers and "sleeping" sitting up in a chair to help him sleep better. He gets up every 1-2 hours all night and will only go back to sleep if I feed him because he feels so bad. He is so sad and miserable when he wakes up coughing. I hope this ends sooner than later!! I feel so bad for sick babies!

Here he is watching a rudolph christmas movie I put on for him the other day...He loves TV and I really needed to get some cleaning done...bad me. I only left him there for about 10 minutes.
