That is the thing with Christian. He is such a happy baby. Sometimes the only way I know he doesn't feel well is because he constantly wants to be held by me and only me.
On Sunday, my best friend and Christian's Godmother, Molly was coming to babysit Christian while I went to Madison for work. The evening went great until an hour after Christian fell asleep. He woke suddenly, screaming. He vomited on me four separate times. I was up most of the night holding and comforting him (and changing both our pajamas!). Although he wouldn't let Molly or Richard comfort him, I am thankful they were there to comfort me. It was rough night. I canceled my trip to Madison and took Christian back to the doctor.
After a horrible experience watching him get a chest X-ray (they strap him in a plastic brace with his arms above his head. They made me wait outside and I could only pace while he screamed), having blood drawn from his finger (check white cell count), have a culture taken from his nose, the doctor found a little bit of fluid in his lungs. She was fearful it may be pneumonia, so she prescribed antibiotics.
He has recovered from his bout was illness and has moved on to teething.

Ack, whenever I see a photo of him, I just want to press my face into his snuggly warmth and squeeze him close (but not Lenny-like, I swear). What a sweet kid, smiling away when he was on the verge of some serious sick. I'm glad he's doing better, and I'm glad to have been there, even if the most I could do was grab the wrong pjs and hug you when you were crying.
xoxoxo
What wonderful pictures of the sweetest baby in the whole world!! I can hardly wait to hug and kiss that boy. I cannot stress enough how sweet he is. A person would have to see him in person and see that smile to know what I mean.
I'm longing for him to be in my arms!!
I love Molly's comment.....
