sick

My poor baby was sick over the weekend.  :(  Kinda started showing signs of it at the end of the week, but then had a bad night Friday night.  He originally went to bed okay, but then woke up around 10pm and would NOT be comforted.  He just cried and cried and cried...  Eventually I got Mike up because I just didn't know what to do with him - it sure helps to have another set of hands to hold a baby and another brain to pick in the middle of the night...  Levi would cough and it was obvious it hurt him.  I think around 2am or so I finally got him to take a restless nap in the recliner with me.  Ugh, SO THANKFUL we don't have to deal with nights like that all the time!  Saturday he was definitely not himself, but took nice long naps.  He had a low fever, watery eyes, coughing, runny nose, and just wanted to snuggle.  Sunday was similar but we could at least get a couple smiles out of him!  Now he's much more himself, just has lingering congestion and cough.  It's just lovely when he has to cough right after eating....the congestion will kind of make him gag and he'll burp and cough and everything all at once and a LARGE portion of what he just ate will come shooting out - Mike and I have both had the privilege of being shot with the fire hose...  :)

Caleb and Logan are both coughing, but seem to be kind of on the fence with it. Mike and I are also both feeling it a little bit, but after a few days it's just not progressing to anything worse (or getting any better!).

Monday (Christmas Eve) I made my annual shopping trip with my dad to help him get my mom's present.  He always has an idea of what to get, just needs a little help in making it happen.  :)  We got to the mall almost first thing in the morning and it wasn't bad there at all.  Found what we needed fairly quick (walked all over checking several stores and ended up back at the second store we had looked in), and then still had time to meet up with my mom for coffee and a bagel afterwards!
