Poor Little Baby...

After all the excitement of Sundown, Jamie then came down with one of his colds.   He was suffering a bit at Sundown but didn't want to leave.  It was only because mummy had a cold back that we did.  I am sure Jamie and daddy would have stayed there all night if I had let them!!

He was up most of Tuesday night with a cough and Wednesday morning I knew nursery would not take him as his cough sounded awful!  As the day went on, he seemed to get worse.

Wednesday, Jamie never really got out of bed, and mummy spent most of the day reading in the bed next to him as he didn't like it if mummy left him.  At night, mummy struggled to find much to do as Jamie then wanted the light off.

Daddy slept on the sofa due to the noise, but just after midnight mummy woke him up as Jamie was burning up and he seemed to have trouble breathing.  His temperature was 38.5, so not overly serious, but after daddy reassured her that he was ok, mummy sat with a flannel on Jamie's forehead; which seemed to help.   

All this meant that mummy had to apply for Carers Leave for Wednesday afternoon.  Thursday, Nana came and sat with Jamie, rather than taking him back to hers, as it was so cold outside and Jamie was so sleepy.  He just spent the afternoon on the sofa.  On Friday, he was better, but still had the cough, so luckily Nana looked after him again and mummy managed to leave work early!!

On Saturday, Jamie had been invited to a party at "Noah from Nursery's" house.  His cough was still pretty bad, so we decided not to send him for the sake of the other children.  Noah's mum sent a text in the afternoon to say that in the end, Noah had been sick just after everyone arrived, and so that had kinda ended the party anyway!!

There's a lot of it about....
