Matthew the Red-Nosed Baby

We woke up Tuesday morning to a little boy that looked like this...our very own red-nosed baby just in time for Christmas! We took both boys to the doctor on Tuesday afternoon and both were diagnosed with Sinusitis. Tyler had a very mild case but Matthew's was much worse. We left with two prescriptions for each child in hopes they would be better soon. Tyler's cough was better immediately but Matthew got much worse. Because of all of the congestion and drainage, he began throwing up on Christmas Eve...only on me, of course...and continued until the day after Christmas. (I'm not joking when I say only on me. He got sick 4 times and all 4 times he managed to cover me with it!) He did not eat solid food for 4 days and would only drink watered-down formula.

I am glad to report that he is actually feeling better today. He's eaten a total of 2 jars of baby food today (he usually eats close to 6 each day) and is back to drinking formula that is not watered down, although he is still not drinking as much as he usually does. Hopefully he will continue this trend and will be back to 100% in a few days.

This is how we all started out on Christmas Eve.

Here's how Matthew and I ended up looking at my dad's house on Christmas Eve...Matthew in his PJs and me in one of my dad's t-shirts!

Even sick, Matthew has still been happy for the most part. He also loves to sleep right now. After being up for an hour and a half, he lays his head down on the floor and says "night-night". It's pitiful but so sweet.
