Sleepless Nights

Poor little Zayd. He had another rocky night. He ended up just sleeping on my chest. I actually think he rolled off during the night, because when I woke up, he was sleeping beside me on the pillow.

I felt triumphant after the morning booger snot battle. I suctioned a considerable amount of goo out of his nose.He was so grateful that he immediately lay down and went to sleep. I think I'll do the same.

Zayd has a Cold

My poor baby has his first official cold. We flew down to Texas to see the family for MLK weekend, so we think that he likely caught the bug on the plane ride. He's trying to be a trooper, but you can tell that his inability to breath out of his nose is really hard on him. The last two nights have been awful. He'll sleep for an hour or so, and then wake up all upset and congested. We're using the humidifier, saline drops, increased nursing, and that baby snot sucker thing, which he hates like a mortal enemy. Please make du'a that my little baby feels better soon.
