First birthday AND first sickness...so not fair!!!

Well we finally had our first major sickness. It's amazing how little you realize it will rock your world until it happens and the best part of course is always the timing.
My husbands parents flew into town for our son's first birthday and were greeted with a fever and moaning baby.
To make matters worse, the weather has been typically Vancouver horrible and rainy so it's not exactly a tourists paradise right now.
Cohen our baby boy turned one, his party got canceled, he was too sick for the action.
Finally by the 3rd day his fever had broke and we were left with a vicious sounding cough. It's amazing how little sleep I need. As a mom, you just spend the night listening to their breathing, their restless sleep and the horrible coughing fits.
I tried the vicks vapour rub on his feet with socks. I don't know if it worked or not but he did have 4 solid hours without coughing last night.
I could go on and on about the insanity of the last week but I will not get into the details. I am hopeful for some better days, nights of sleep and cough-less good times!!
