We have a sick baby....Derick came down with his second cold last night. Poor thing....I think he caught it from one of the play groups that I went to on Thursday. He was interacting with this little girl that had a runny nose....I was doing my best to keep him from touching her, but I must have missed it cuz he woke up at 9:15 last night super snotty. He was pretty upset, which of course, made it worse. I gave him some tylenol cold and did my best to comfort him. He calmed down after coughing up what he had stuck in his throat. I won't go into detail....but it was gross. Just when I think I've seen the worst of body fluids....I get re-educated by my son. He crashed out on my chest, being upright helped alot. So, Jeremy and I finished our program on tv and then bedded down with Derick, sleeping in his car seat in our room. Derick slept until 3am-when he needed more meds and a feeding. The car seat worked pretty well-keeping him inclined for drainage, until about 5am. I woke up to the sound of my wooden stairs banging next to the bed. I looked over the edge....there was Derick, on the floor, kicking my stairs! He had slipped out of the car seat. Sheesh...that was a shock for a bleary eyed mommy. I picked him up and rocked him back to sleep. But we were awakened again at 7:15 to the sounds of Derick slipping out of the car seat again. This time, I saw it happen....not hard on him at all since the seat rocks. He just arched his back enough to get the seat to rock, touched his feet down and scooted right out. Stinker. We brought him into our bed, but it was wake up time for him, so we all got up-Jeremy and I having about 5 to 6 hours of sleep in total. He's napping now....another dose of meds and some milk took him right out. Jeremy helped me rig up the changing table pad in the crib, so he's got a better place to sleep than the car seat. And safer too!

Well, Jeremy is out working on the house-I better wrap up and get some stuff done before the babe awakes. Go Seahawks!
