Daycare = Sick Baby :(

As I mentioned in the last post, Jonah started going to a babysitter this past week. There are only two other babies, twin boys, at the babysitter's house, but Jonah still managed to get sick after his first week. He officially has his first baby cold, and the doctor this morning said it's just something that happens when babies are away from home. Unfortunately, my baby is no normal little boy. While he's growing, his weight is still an issue, and that makes the common cold a bigger deal for us.

Jonah is sneezing, coughing, and congested, and since babies only breathe out of their noses, it makes it really difficult for him to eat. He hasn't been doing well with it this week, and he went from 9 lbs. to 8 lbs. 6 oz. :( The doctor gave us instructions for doing nasal washes before feedings and bedtime, and Jonah has to sleep in his car seat until he's feeling better. That should be interesting.

He goes back to the doctor for his two-month wellness checkup next Thursday, so they'll check his weight again and see if we need to take additional measures. The doctor is hoping he'll have gained some weight by then.

In the meantime, Jonah doesn't have a fever, so he's still at the babysitter's house today. Here is a picture she sent me last week. I can't believe how big our little man is getting!
