Finally Well!

Aiden has been sick for almost three weeks now. It started off as what seemed like a cold and then progressed into an ear infection. Luckily we discovered the ear infection really early on, so it didn't take long for him to feel better once we got him on an antibiotic. The worst part of the entire sickness was the nasal congestion. He had it BAD. I couldn't suck those boogers out for anything. I heard about the NoseFrida from the message board I frequent. It looks like a gas siphon for boogers. You basically suck on one end of it to get the goo out. And I know what you're thinking...no, you can't get any of it in your mouth :) It worked great! But since his congestion was so far back into his nose, even the stuff I could get out wasn't enough to clear him up. And as you may have guessed, he wasn't sleeping very good. We would get up four and five times a night and would finally give in and bring him to our bed so when he did wake up, he'd be at arms length to soothe back to sleep. Needless to say, Mommy has been a walking zombie. Monday night he only woke up once at 3:00 am, and last night he only woke up twice (I think mainly because he was cold). I'm so happy to have my good baby back!!

He is absolutely the most fun right now. From the time I pick him up from daycare to the time we give him his night bottle, he is either laughing or smiling most of the time. His little giggle is the best sound EVER!! We are enjoying him more and more everyday.
