Sick babies suck.
Well, actually, sick babies are really sweet (at least mine is). They snuggle and just want to be held. It melts my heart. But, knowing that my little nugget doesn't feel well really sucks for me. He did really well this weekend for his baptism. He napped on the ride over, was perfect through the ceremony and only started to get a little fussy at the end of picture taking because it was his lunch time. Once I fed him, he was all smiles through lunch and then just watched the sky on the way home. Sunday, he seemed like his normal self for most of the day (minus a runny nose), but started to feel warm that afternoon. By the time we swung by Michael's parents house, he was fussy. We gave him some children's Tylenol and kept him in bed with us last night. This morning he seemed better, but still not 100%. I made an appointment for him with the pediatrician this afternoon, and upon examination he found a small ear infection in his right ear. I should have known because he was a little irritable nursing while on his right side a couple of times yesterday. I'm just glad we caught it early.
So, I guess it's another first for my little guy. Just wish it had been a happy one!
