Baby Tears!

Eric and I got Logan his first Easter present. We bought him the Velveteen Rabbit from Schullers. I am sure I spelled that wrong, but whatever. Eric and I both love to read. And we thought it would be a great book for him to add to his existing collection. So hopefully he will enjoy reading it some day. In the mean time, we will read it for him. And of course I have his first Easter Basket coming in the mail on Friday. It is a chick with Logans name on the butt. haha I got it from Williams Sonoma

So yesterday was a sad day for Logan. He had to get his RSV shot. And he did not like it one bit. Not that I expected him to, but this one was his worst. I think it was the way the stupid nurse held him. She pulled his legs over the edge of the table and held him down with her hips and had me hold his arms. While I was doing it, I was like what in the hell is going on here. Like he knows that we are about to stab him. She was a little weird. And boy did he cry loud/hard/long. I felt horrible when I saw his baby tears. But as usual he was able to pull himself together with little sobs.

Prior to the shot, we spoke with the doctor. Eric is still sick. And of course Logan woke up sounding all snotty and such. So we asked her to check him out. She said his lungs were clear...good. And she said that she detected a slight heart murmer, that we would just pay attention to over time. But that she thought it was normal/okay. And she said he was pretty congested. Ahhh my babies first cold. Eric felt horrible knowing it was coming from him. But what can you do, we all live together. Anyway, she said to take saline and put it up his nose. And then suck it out with that bulb thing. And that if we notice him breathing hard that she wants to see him. Otherwise we can expect it to only get better. He was a little warm to touch. And I didnt ask her to see if he had a fever, because I forgot.

So we went home and I took hs temp. It was 99.3 degrees. A little warm, but nothing too serious. So I gave him a bath to cool him down. And I put him in his jammies. I sucked his nose out with the magic bulb. And I fed him. And then I held him for a couple hours. He looked so comfortable. Then I check his temp and it was 97.8. So we were back in business. I brushed his hair for like 20 minutes. I think he loves it. haha He just relaxes big time.

At both of his night time feedings he wouldnt finish his bottles. He would fall asleep. So we knew he was still a little not well. We gave him Tylenol. And well in the morning he was still a little sluggish, but looking better. And he is a poop factory. Which is really unlike him. So we just cuddle with him until then.
