Poor Baby Nick, he had a rough day. He didn't throw up again (thankfully) but he just wasn't feeling himself. He has never been much of a snuggler, yet today I could hold him for hours at a time without him fighting to get down. He slept more, he hardly ate at all, he played very little, and fussed more than I like. Baby Nick had a temperature of 101.8 at one point today. And since he has had diarrhea, his little bottom is so sore it hurts to wipe him and to apply Desitin. He starts shaking real bad from the pain. I hate to cause him pain, but I have to keep him clean.
However, when Nick and I were making the bed with fresh clean sheets straight out of the dryer, he was walking along the bed all smiles and squeals. I pray that means he is starting to feel better. I especially pray that he sleeps all night, and well into the morning, too. My heart hurts to watch my kids be sick and no there is not much that can be done for them. But I do enjoy being able to cuddle Baby Nick, even if it is only for a day. That always made me feel better as a kid when I felt sick; being loved on by my Mommy.
Nick took Joey to the park this afternoon, but only stayed a few minutes. Apparently, there were tons of other kids on the small playground (the one next to our house, not Jewel Lake) and Joey kept getting pushed around on the play structure. So they came home and Joey took a nap with me. We are hoping the weather starts warming up and drying out this week so that we can take the boys to Jewel Lake when Baby Nick feels better.
Since everybody is in bed sleeping, except me, I should get into bed as well and take advantage of every minute possible. Have a fantastic week.
