Sick Baby :(

At 7:30 this morning I called and got Elijah a Dr. appointment. I finally caved seeing as he slept very little the night prior and you could just hear the congestion. Well they saw us at 11:10 and it was a really tiny Korean lady. She was kind of hard to understand but she said it is just his first cold. Well that was one first I could have done without, but I guess it was coming. She said he was otherwise alright. Keep up with the Tylenol and to get a humidifier. Well I had one from last winter but I when I plugged it in it didn't work. I thought it was because I stored it outside in the storage closet. So I went to Target to buy him a new one. I got the same one because its only $14, and the others are $30. I got Elijah some baby vapor rub, Tylenol, Saline solution and sucker bulb. When I got home and read the instructions for the darn humidifier and you are supposed to add SALT! So low and behold the old one works too!! Oh well, I was thinking we could use 2 of them since we are in and out of the living room and bedroom all day. Plus the extra water in the air will help our dry skin and our colds as well. Kansas is so dry and uncomfortable.

He weighed in at 9 pounds 7 ounces and I am a little concerned about that, but we will bring that up at his regular Dr. He is still nursing and gets like 4oz of formula a day for the Iron. He gets the vitamins they gave to us but I like him to have the extra help. The Dr thought his cloth diapers were neat. I guess she hasn't seen that kind before because she was asking all about them. I think they are great, and Elijah seems to do well with them. Another bonus is that Bridget isn't the least bit interested in them. I looked under the bed today and saw that she has been taking disposables under the bed and shredding them up! That dumb dog is very trying sometimes! At least they were unused. Although when he was first born she loved the used ones too. She got the most recent ones out from under his bassinet. There are two storage containers and she gets the dry ones I keep for just in case situations and shreds them up! Annoying. So I emptied the boxes out so she can't get anything out.

The humidity has really helped Elijah out though, so that is great! Hopefully it keeps going alright.
