1st Week of Daycare = 1st Cold



We started Colin in daycare half days this week to get him use to going and me use to not having him with me all day. His caretaker said he cried a lot his first day and missed his mommy. But each day has been easier for him. He went a full day on Thursday and Bill handled the pick up at 6pm. I got to spend the day getting a massage & pedicure and ran a ton of errands!

When Bill and Colin arrived home we noticed Colin sneezing every few minutes. Then the cough developed. Our first cold! It knocked him out. He slept most of the night and woke up full of mucus and coughing. I wasn't sure if I should take him to daycare, but he wasn't running a fever and, hey, they gave him whatever bug he has, so they can deal, right?!? I picked him up at noon and they said he'd slept most of the morning. He did finish a 4oz bottle. Since he was still asleep when I loaded him into the car I kept our lunch date with some moms-to-be and new moms from work. And, he slept through lunch. He did eat some when we got home, but he soon fell asleep again. Poor little guy. I propped up one end of his mattress to help him breath, however, every time I checked on him he had slid a few inches down the mattress. I need to find a flatter pillow to use as a prop. Hopefully he's better by Monday or my first day back to work is going to be even harder to get through!
