Sick Cub

Dom got sick last week and when we took him the doctor, it turned out he had a virus infection that then caused another ear infection. Poor baby. He just got over an ear infection last month. Dr. Christenson said that if he gets one more within the next six months, we will need to go see a specialist and he may need tubes. I hope that doesn’t happen, it would break my heart.

It was a very tough week with little to no sleep. Dom was extremely temperamental and had zero patience. He had a fever for four days and even had a night of projectile vomiting. It’s just the worst when your baby is sick because you want to take the pain away from them, but you can’t. You just have to make them feel as comfortable as possible and hope it’s over soon.

I’m happy to report that Dom is feeling much better and is back to his old self. Well, almost. I have noticed some of the “terrible two’s” coming out. He is very headstrong (where ever does he get that?) and has no problem showing me when he’s not happy about something. He’ll furrow his brow, clap his little hands together angrily and say “no Mommy!” I generally try not to react too much and tell him it’s ok to be mad. Hopefully he doesn’t go into the scary world of screaming, kicking tantrum-ville.
