Alright!  PAR-TAY!<\/p>\n<p>No seriously, it&#8217;s a freakin&#8217; party around these parts.  Jeremy came home 2 maybe 3 days ago coughing&#8230;.one of those nasty barky kinda coughs.  Like when you feel lie you have a film of sticky gooey flem coating the entire back of your throat and lungs and you can&#8217;t quite catch a proper breath because the flem keeps sticking and choking you up.<\/p>\n<p>It was AWESOME!<\/p>\n<p>So, I did my little &#8220;stay away from the baby, Jer!  I&#8217;m serious!  JEREMY!  I&#8217;M SERIOUS&#8230;..GET AWAY FROM JOSIAH RIGHT NOW&#8230;NO  NO NO!  DON&#8217;T&#8230;DON&#8217;T&#8230;.don&#8217;t cough all over his face. :mumblingundermybreath: <em>of course you had to cough right into his face didn&#8217;t you<\/em>&#8221; freak out to absolutely no avail.<\/p>\n<p>And on Tuesday night when I put Siah to bed he was wheezing and crackling a little with each breath.  I really hoped and prayed that it was just a little extra mucus floating around&#8230;everyone has a llittle extra mucus from time to time, don&#8217;t you?  No such luck. <\/p>\n<p>Siah was up just about every hour coughing and wheezing and crying and to say that it was a fun night&#8230;.well, that would definately be a lie.  A COMPLETE AND UTTER LIE!<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday he was coughing a bit during the day, but it really wasn&#8217;t anything too bad, but by evening, I knew that we were in for another night of fun filled pleasure and delight.<\/p>\n<p>He had a harder time than usual going down to bed, and it was all because he was SO PLUGGED UP.  It&#8217;s so sad that you can&#8217;t suck and breathe at the same time.  So, we popped on and off a million bazillion times, until I finally gave up and then Jon rocked him and he went straight to sleep.<\/p>\n<p>He woke up at 2am, and had a wicked fever.  I don&#8217;t like to give Tylenol unless it&#8217;s totally ncessary, because I figure that the fever is the bodys way of fighting off the infection but this was hot&#8230;like HOT HOT!<\/p>\n<p>He was able to nurse back to sleep and when he woke up again at 4am the tylenol was doing it&#8217;s job &#8211; no fever!  YAH!<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s been the snot monster all day today, and i have more snot on me than has made it into a kleenex.  The long strings that are sneezed all the way onto the floor where he is sitting playing with his toys&#8230;.those are my favorite.  in fact, I just tried to tak e apicture of a GIANT snot bubble that he sneezed and stuck between his nose and his shirt&#8230;.it was equal parts awesome and gross all at the same time.  Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how badly you wanted to look at it) he was uncooperative when I got the camera out and then promptly smeared it all over my leg &#8211; and let my tell you THAT was awesome.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s got a bit of a fever right now, but seeing as he&#8217;s eating (food) and nursing (after I use <a href=\"http:\/\/images.google.ca\/imgres?imgurl=http:\/\/www.happymothers.com\/assets\/product\/images250\/AEC36251352D46DFA70D95395E9E4A02.jpg&#038;imgrefurl=http:\/\/onlinekidstuff.com\/safety-first-nasal-aspirator-first-aid\/&#038;h=250&#038;w=250&#038;sz=9&#038;hl=en&#038;start=17&#038;um=1&#038;tbnid=atpeFoXTtfcF6M:&#038;tbnh=111&#038;tbnw=111&#038;prev=\/images%3Fq%3Dinfant%2Bnasal%2Baspirator%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26rlz%3D1T4GGIH_enCA261CA261%26sa%3DN\">the snot sucker<\/a> &#8211; man he hates that thing) and is playing (albeit a bit crankily) I&#8217;d say we&#8217;re all good and just running though a virus.  <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m hoping that we&#8217;re all done with it soon though, cause it sucks&#8230;.on so many levels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yah!
