I will start with the good news, our baby boy is growing so fast! He now weighs 16 lbs 14 oz and he isn't even 5 months old yet! He is an extremely happy baby, so when he cries we know that there is something going on.
Which leads to the bad news...
Monday night we were trying to put Bo down for bed in his crib and he was crying so bad and every time we would pick him he would be fine. Our first thought was, "Uh oh, he wants to be held all the time". He cried for almost an hour which was highly unusual for him (he maybe cries for 5 or 10 minutes max if he super hungry or super tired). He finally was able to get to sleep, but he woke up several times throughout the night (which was again super unusual). And we have started feeding Bo formula once a day trying to make the Breast Milk we have stored last as long as possible. (I stopped pumping last week, so I made it over 4 months and we have about 6 weeks saved!!) So we thought maybe it was upsetting his stomach.
Tuesday night was the same thing, but he cried for 30 minutes this time, but then when he woke up on Wednesday morning his eyes were all matted. It was the saddest thing I have seen!! He has had a cough basically since he started at daycare, so the poor guy has been not 100% for awhile now. We thought he had pink eye so we took him to the Dr. Wednesday morning (which is why we had him weighed) and turns out he had ear infection. The congestion had gone from his sinuses to his ears and up to his eyes. The Dr did say that he couldn't believe his temperament because of how he musy've been feeling because he was acting very happy! So he is now on Amoxicillin and Josh stayed home with him on Wednesday and I stayed home with him on Thursday. No wonder he would cry when we would lay him on his back...the pressure from the ear infection was hurting the little guy. But like I said, we have a very happy baby. Here are a couple pictures of Bo when he was sick:(...
