Week 25

The most notable thing about this week was that August came down with his first head cold. It went much smoother than I had anticipated it would, but is still not something either of us would like to revisit anytime soon. Thankfully my mom was still visiting us, so it was quite comforting to have an experienced grandmother, who happens to be a nurse, on hand for those first couple of rough days. We stayed on top of things with infant tylenol, saline mist, the nasal aspirator, and the humidifier turned on high. He and I slept on the couch for a few nights so that I could keep him propped up as well. By the time the weekend rolled around, he was mostly rid of the uncomfortable part and had passed it on to Kevin.
