I am hoping that I can get my act together to write more than once this week, but I can’t make any promises.
I woke up last Thursday and my sinuses were killing me. You know that feeling when your face hurts (yeah, I know the joke “your face hurts me, too!”) and you can’t breathe? My throat was hurting and I was completely congested. We left for Birmingham and Tuscaloosa, Alabama on Friday afternoon and had a fantastic weekend watching the Gamecocks play.
I decided that the University of Alabama can be on Hudson’s short list of potential future colleges. It was quite cold and we lost, but I managed to do okay despite having a pretty bad cold.
My mom flew into Birmingham to hang out with one of her good friends and they kept Hudson while Todd and I went to the football game. We were also able to tailgate with my cousin and her in-laws. Two of Todd’s law school friends and their wives live in Birmingham, so we had a great time hanging out with them and catching up. It was a fantastic weekend.
I have started to feel a little bit better, but last night when we got home, Hudson was a little fussy. Then I’m pretty sure I was awake every hour last night rocking him back to sleep. He never needs to eat in the middle of the night anymore, but I gave him two bottles last night because he was starving and so distraught. Poor baby.
I was exhausted this morning and when Hudson finally woke up I noticed that his little eyes were all watery and he just looked pitiful. I called the doctor’s office and spoke to the nurse. She got us in to see his doctor. I was so worried that he had an ear infection– or worse!– but he just has a cold. And of course I’m thinking I gave it to him. Where else would he have gotten it? Here comes the guilt.
So we’re watching him for the next few days. If he has two more sleepless nights we have to go back to the doctor to recheck his ears. Hopefully this little cold will just vanish and he’ll be back to his happy self soon.
He did let out a giant giggle tonight while I was dressing him for bed. He’s trying to be happy despite not being able to breathe.
Look at the tired boy. And the sweet little hat I made him wear. His Daddy was NOT happy about the hat.
Oh– and doesn’t it look like a cat lives with us? His sharp little finger nails are getting him every night now that we’ve stopped swaddling. Gotta get better about making sure the edges aren’t sharp when I cut them.
hope he gets better soon! love the hats!
I’m praying he gets better! A sick baby is no fun!
OMG that hat is ADORABLE! He is such a doll. Hope that sweet boy feels better ASAP!
I have been having the same sinus blah as you…its no fun. What a cute little man! Love the hats!! {it must be a girl thing} Hope you both feel better!
Hope you both are feeling better soon 🙂
Poor Hudson! I hope that you both feel better soon. That hat is very cute!
I hate sinus issues, it really does make your whole face hurt. Feel better!
I was sick last week too and it totally blew. Hope you guys feel better soon!
omg i am loving his little hat. too cute!
Glad you guys had a great weekend!
Hope you two feel better super soon…and that hat…adorable. Don’t know why Todd was not into it?? 🙂
love it when they sleep with their hands overhead…so cute! Hope things are getting better, i swear it’s worse on us than them!Hang in there…
Awww, hope ya’ll get to feeling better. He looks adorable even despite being sick!!!!
Aww, poor little guy. I hope the cold doesn’t settle into his ears. It’s always tough when they are sick, especially the first time! Remember that infant motrin does wonders for cranky babies – and lots and lots of cuddling!
hope he feels better soon! it can take a little longer for babies to get over a cold, so don’t worry! i’d love to hear how you went about stopping swaddling. we currently swaddle Josiah in the miracle blanket, and I bought two of the woombies too for transitioning… but the first time i tried one, he pulled his hands up so high under his chin that he still woke himself up 🙁 anyway… I’d love to hear what worked/didn’t work well for you!
I love his hat! SO cute! 🙂
Oh, poor little guy! I hope you’re both feeling much better very soon. 🙂
I hope ya’ll are back to normal soon, poor Hudson (and mom)! I do love the bear hat!
Hope you’re both in tip-top shape again, soon! The bear hat is ADORABLE!
Stop! Hudson’s cuteness level is out of control. Sorry that he is sick, that is always nerve racking. Will be sending thoughts of healthiness.
Aw poor baby! Hope he feels better soon!
Aw!! Poor lil guy 🙁 I hope you guys are both all better soon! PS – he is still looking so precious!
I LOVE the hat!!!
love those chubby little cheeks 🙂 {and the cute hat too!}
First, that hat is precious. Second, isn’t it inevitable that you’ll pass him a cold eventually? I’m not a mom but I would think you’re helping him build up some immunities. Hope you’re all feeling better soon.
I love the hat! It looks so cute! Grant wouldn’t be happy about it either though, but I would use it anyways! 🙂
He might not feel good, but he’s still adorable! Hope he gets to feeling better soon!
Oh my, we woke up one day and Emma had a GASH under her eye from busting out of her swaddle-bloody mess! It’s pitiful. Love the bear hat!!
Poor little guy! I hope you and Hudson are both feeling better real soon.
Hope you both get to feeling better, sweet girl!
He is too cute! Hope everyone gets better soon!
Hugs to you! I hope you’re both feeling better soon.
I love the hat! Mark would make a fit, too. He’d say something like “first you dress the dog funny, now the baby!” But I love it.
Awww! I think our little guy is getting a cold, too… he’s been way past cranky and slightly stuffy today. Sick babies = no fun 🙁
Hope ya’ll get to feeling better soon!
i love the hat! boo for sick babies…hope he’s better asap
I love those sleeping sans swaddle pics, soo cute! I just cut Little Boo’s nails yesterday, oh my their poor little waving fingernails, but they heal up so quick, those cute little babies! I’m so sorry you two haven’t been feeling well! Hope you and Hudson feel better so soon!
Awww.. I hope you and the little man get to feeling better real soon! P.S. I LOVE all of his hats you put him in – that just makes him even cuter! Big hugs! :o)
The hat is SO cute! I just love it!
EVERYONE at my job is sick. Just waiting for my damn turn.
Oh huddy! Poor thing. Jack is right there with you! Being sick and having a sick baby is no fun! Hang in there you two!

Poor little guy! Love that hat, though! 🙂
