J.'s First Cold

Last week, hubby was sick with a cold. I started feeling a little sick so I got on antibiotics and immediately felt better. Then on Saturday night, both J. and I got hit with it at the exact same time. Since I'm still on the antibiotics, it's very safe to assume that this ickiness is viral.

J. has never been sick before, so it's been a little scary. His fever has stayed pretty much under control (never broke 101 and goes away after a bout of Tylenol, only to come back later and then go away with more Tylenol)...and he's acting like he's alright (still full of energy and in a relatively good mood), which is good. But he's super cranky at night and tosses and turns like all get-out (which means I can't trust him in his crib by himself, so he's been sleeping with us).

If any moms out there have any tried-and-true home remedies or advice, I'm all ears!

I hope you're all feeling better.

Poor sweetie! It is always horrible when your baby is sick.

Maybe it's this stupid head/chest cold that's hit everyone I know up here (even G. and he doesn't usually get things). The good thing is it's not too bad on them. The bad thing is it lasts, and lasts, and lasts.
