This is what our bug has been doing the past couple of days. Even as I type he is asleep across my lap. While we were out of town he got pink eye and an upper respiratory infection. We are both home resting and having a sick day. I always seem to get whatever he gets. I can't keep myself from kissing his sweet lips and he can't keep from rubbing his slobbery face on mine.
We were awake at 5:45 this morning. Owen could not sleep with all of his congestion. We sat on the chair in the living room rocking. He finally went back to sleep but by then I was awake. There is something romantic about being awake while the early riser sleeps. Paul and I sat quietly chatting on one half of the bed while Owen was sprawled out on the other half. There are not many mornings that Owen is sleeping and we are awake, he is normally our alarm. We enjoyed sitting together watching our sweetheart sleep.
Owen has his first cold. It is very sad to see him sick. He has had a fever, runny nose and cough for the last several days. We took him to the doctor and they told us what to watch for to make sure it doesn't get too bad. When he wakes up he sounds kinda like a pug, not able to breath very well out of his nose. I'm so grateful for the humidifier we got with our Babies R Us gift cards! The night we started using it he slept so much better. We are praying he will get all better really soon!
Monday's are our day off so we got to have a sick day with daddy. We are going to try and keep Owen home to rest and get better. We mostly hung out in our room (with the humidifier), had a visit from Grandma and read board books. We also put together our Operation Christmas Child box. Operation Christmas Child sends shoe boxes filled with toys, hygiene items and school supplies to children in need around the world. Just follow these instructions and you can make one too! It is a fun thing to do as a family. This year Owen was a little more excited to take the toys out then helping us pack it up. :)
