This past week!

Well what a week it has been! Charlie cought another cold last Friday...and at first it was just a runny nose...the usual. But by Sunday night he started coughing. So Monday we bought some baby Tylonal Cold. Monday night, Tuesday and Wednesday night were BAD NIGHTS!!!! He wouldn't fall asleep until after 10pm and then wake every two hours....and then at 4am decided he wanted to be awake for 2 hours! He was just miserable! He didn't want to be held...but he didn't want down! He didn't even want to nurse. Finally when I stood up - he stopped crying and fell asleep (I had tried this earlier too and it didn't work!!!!) I was also putting Ambosal on his gums as the one top tooth looked like it was close to coming thru. We didn't even make it to our playgroup on Wednesday. Both Mommy and Charlie really look forward to this. But by Wednesday...Mommy was feeling miserable from lack of sleep! (OH yeah....When Charlie would finally fall asleep at 6...he was waking again at 7:30/8! (Thank goodness Daddy was home and his exams were finished...so he could help out...of course Charlie would just cry harder when Daddy held him....he just wanted his Mommy! Isn't it nice to feel so needed!)

Finally Thursday night he only woke once for about 20 minutes. Friday Charlie seemed back to his normal happy self! We went shopping with Grandma and Aunty Selena and Trent and Charlie was very content! When we got home from shopping Daddy went to change Charlie...it turned into a 2 person job! (Charlie is very wiggley these days! Makes changing him a big challenge...especially the poopy ones!!!!) As Daddy was distracting Charlie he saw that tooth had popped out! So now we know why he was sooo miserable for those few days!!!! First a cold and then a tooth!!!! (Now we really can't ask for his tooth front teeth for Christmas - he already has them!!!!) And in case anyones lost count...that's 4 (two on top and two on the bottom!)

Yeh Charlie , glad your tooth came through and you survived both the cold and the tooth at once. Hopefully Mummy will be able to get a good night sleep now

Wow...poor little guy - no wonder this week was tough!

At least the relief came before Christmas - you can enjoy it now.

Yay Charlie! Way to grow those teeth!

And now both Charlie and Mommy deserve a break from colds and teething, and are rewarded with lots of sleep. At least that's the hope, eh?!
