And not the good kind - Charlie has his first cold. I know this isn't ground breaking for most folks, but for us it has been stressful., especially as it happens after I go back to work.
Early Thursday, just after midnight, Charlie woke up with what sounded like a croupy cough. I propped him on a pillow for the rest of the night but he continued to have a rough, barky cough and a little rattle in his breathing. He was better during the day with my mom, and Thrusday night he slept okay. The coughing was productive but not as rough.
Friday he started to get a runny nose, too, but had no fever and was his usual happy self. But the doctor suggested we come in anyway to be sure. Evidentially with any wheezing I need to take him in to make sure its not in the lungs. And it wasn't. Dr. Baker said it was a cold virus that is going around and he should be better by Monday or Tuesday.
And while at the doctor, we weighed Charlie again - 16 pounds, 12 ounces. He was clothed, so 3 or 4 ounces could have been the diaper and outfit. But he still gained more than a half pound in 10 days!
