'Snot good

This week has been all about Calpol, Karvol, a nose sucker, sleepless nights and a few grumps. Aidan has his first cold.  It's been going on for a week now.  It started crusty, then went runny and now he's got a cough to add to the mix.

With seeming sporadic pain in his gums and no signs of any teeth, it's sent his night time sleeping habits haywire.   It's a lottery if he'll sleep to 3am 0r 4am.  And even though the books say he should be sleeping through now he simply needs his feed to get him comforted.

We're hoping things will calm down when he shakes this bug but my guess is the teething monster will be back straight away to keep us all from a full night's kip.

To add to this I brought home a stomach bug on Thursday rendering me more than useless - or should that be more useless than normal - on Friday.  Erin has it today.  We're just keeping our fingers crossed the little fella doesn't feel the effects.  He has enough to deal with.
