{ First Time for Everything }

For the first time since our sweet bubba was born he is sick. I thought we'd make it to the 1 year mark but unfortunately, we didn't. He woke up this morning not quite his happy self. He didn't really have an interest in eating which is completely out of character for him. He slept most of the day and by what I found in his diapers I knew he wasn't feeling well. He has a temperature of 102 degrees but I think we'll wait to take him to Insta Care if Tylenol doesn't help. I just got him to sleep so we'll see how he feels when he wakes up. I'm also thinking it could be just side effects of teething. He's getting like 4 at the same time right now. No one told me how heartbreaking it is to have a sick baby. But at least he'll let me cuddle him all day.. I'll take as much of that as I can get!

Max ALWAYS had diarrhea and a high fever when teething - and he always got multiple teeth at a time too. It's the WORST! Poor baby!
Definitely go out and get the Baby Oragel and Teething Tablets if you haven't already!

Mac always broke out in a fever when he was getting teeth! Alternate between Tyleon and Children's Motrin (you can alternative every 4 hours). I always hate it when Mac is sick, but LOVE all of the cuddling.

Poor baby! He is still way cute though. The only good thing about a sick baby is that they cuddle again!

Yes, sick babies are sad! :( You are lucky though, Hannah has been sick at least 5 times since she was born. She has big sisters to thank for that!

Sorry to hear that he's not feeling so good. That's gotta be hard. Poor little guy. Sending wishes for a speedy recovery.

I know it breaks your heart when your baby is sick.

Oh poor Nixen! I am going to have a hard time with that when I have a baby. Hopefully he gets feeling better soon!
