Bye-bye cold bug
Zachary is doing much better although still congested at times. We all caught it and now we are all keeping our distance from other people until we are sure we have kicked it. Aaron had to cancel his trip to New Orleans but we were glad he was home this weekend.
Tuesday we are getting 3 month pictures taken. I would like one large black and white print for the wall and some smaller color shots for frames and the grandparents.
Zachary has really discovered his hands and is often putting them in his mouth. He has rolled over and can lift his head and hold it up pretty well on his own. He found the TV and I can catch him watching it now. Finally, he is growing so much that I dont know how he will fit in his bassinet until 6 months but we shall see.

First Cold
Zachary has his first cold. He had a stuffy nose, was coughing and having trouble sleeping since he can only breath through his nose. The doctor said it could easily lead to an ear infection and he was running a temp of 100.3 yesterday (one tenth of a degree away from what they consider a fever until he reaches three months of age) so I took him in to the doctor. Good news he doesnt have an ear infection, we dont know how he caught the cold but that is what it is. They checked his chest, lungs and ears and all was good there. He slept a little better last night and didnt have quite as high of a temp and I got some much needed sleep as well.
Since he didnt have a temp up to 100.4 we are just going to ride it out and keep monitoring it. At three months a temp is 102.5 so she said he is so close that she wasnt too concerned over it but said if it gets to 100.4 we will get blood and urine tests run just to be sure.
I know it is just a cold but since I had had so little sleep the past few days I was overwhelmed with it all especially when he would gasp for air and sound like he was choking from the mucous.
He is still congested today but I am hoping that he is on the other side of it now and that he will be better by this weekend. Aaron is travelling out of town for a cousin's weekend that has been planned for months and Kristi offered early on to come in town to help me this weekend and Sara has been so kind and offered as well, thanks!!. Hoping all goes well the next few days.
