Sorry it's been so long... our internet went dow for a good week.. Anywho, a quick update until i have more time to post.
Since the 2 feet of freaking snow, we have had some sick people in our home. On Thursday Dawson seemed to have a bit of runny nose. . . On friday morning he was pretty snuffy and had a hard time breathing and eating.. Carson arrived at 9 and he was even more sick. He wouldn't eat, and all he wanted to do was be held, which was very difficult because Dawson was sick and he just wanted to be held... Carson's daddy picked him up at 3:30 and we took Dawson in to the Doctor. The doctor was sick too! So.. Dawson was just really congested but still was moving oxygen pretty well. no RSV thank goodness. I was getting a cold too and a way bad sore throat... not good when moms sick and the baby. Saturday morning Dawson could barely breathe...He was so fussy too because he was hungry, but he wouldn't eat because he couldn't breathe. So I said a little prayer and I immediately took Dawson into the shower and tried cleaning his nose out with the booger getter... and I had to stand there and nurse him... the next couple of feedings that was the only way he was able to breathe and eat. (Talk about being talented at nursing!) Finally his congestion started clearing. Ever since then its been humidifier, lots of tubby time, lots of booger getting, and a happier baby. :)
As for me, after I fed Dawson the first time in the shower, I had another thought for me to take some vitamins. I haven't been taking my prenatals since Dawson was born (which are 2 flinstones vitamins... :) thats all I could take while being sick and prego) So I took 2 flinstones and my sore throat went away, I have no cold anymore. Yay! Dawson is doing much better, still snuffy but not near as bad. I have disinfected my whole house and cleaned down to the nitty gritty corners, and have aired out our house to make it more germ free...
Winter time is so scary with a baby and being sick. . . Thank goodness for answered prayers right! :)
