Baby's First Cold

After about three weeks at the sitter, Noah got his first cold. It started with a slight cough then became a wheeze, so we took him to the doctor after a few days of his wet cough and runny nose. It's amazing because Noah gets a cough and Akira is ready to instantly take him to the doctor, but Akira gets shingles and he it still takes him a good kick in the pants to go to the doctor.

Yes, a week before Noah got his cold, Akira got the shingles, which is also why we were extra cautious when Noah got sick. We wanted to make absolutely sure that he wasn't coming down with the chicken pox because that would have been disastrous. It was just a cold. And the cough is lingering a bit, but he'll survive.

He still has been a pretty happy kid considering he's sick. But he's been getting up once a night because of it. Oh well, we'll rework on getting him sleeping through the night once he kicks this cough.
