We're sick. And it's NOT fun!

Aidan came down with what we thought was a cold on Thursday morning. He had a runny nose, croupy cough, and was just plain miserable. He refused to eat anything, but, thankfully, we were able to get lots of fluids into him.

I was the next to catch it - Friday morning, I woke up with a really sore throat, runny nose, and icky cough. Aidan and I spent most of the day Friday napping together in bed.

Sure enough, Saturday morning, Alex woke up with the same symptoms.

Aidan seemed to be getting worse, so we called the pediatrician and they had us come in. They said it sounded like he might have an ear infection so they wanted to check it out. Well, his ears were clear as were his lungs. They determined that Aidan might have a sinus infection, so they prescribed amoxicillin for him. I'm hoping it helps to clear things up for him - my poor baby has done enough coughing and nose-running for ALL of us!

Alex and I are still trying to "ride things out"... I'd really rather not take any medication being pregnant, and, well, Alex is just stubborn.
