Nico's First Ear Infection....

We have been pretty lucky with our healthy little guy and not really having a cold in the first year of his short life, but yesterday we got our first reality check....

It started really on Monday when Daddy took Nico to Gma Beth's house before work and he threw up for the first time in a long time, but I didn't think much of it as we all know how Daddy loves to horseplay with the baby. But then it turned into waking up at 3am screaming, not wanting to go back to sleep until almost 4:30am, which I thought was odd as Nico is such a good sleeper and has been since he was 4 weeks old, but didn't really click. Then when Mommy got him up to get him ready for breakfast he was hot and I took his temperature to find that he had a slight temperature but still nothing to alarm me something was wrong. Mommy went off to work and Daddy started feeling how warm you were too and it turns out your temperature was over 100.....

But Daddy fed you and you were ok, and took you over to visit Gpa but when they returned and Nico got up the temperature was back up to almost 101, so Mommy called the doctor and the doctor said to come right now. Mommy left work and Daddy met us at the doctor's office to find out Nico had his first ear infection. Since you were so small, he recommended that we get you on antibiotics and now you are loving the cherry flavored medicine as you think it is a treat!!

So our precious little angel got his first "real" illness and now Mommy and Daddy can be called old pros!! I am sure there will definitely be more trips to the doctor, but hopefully the next cold will good as smoothly as the first, but of course I am sure we have much, much more to learn as the adventures of Nico's life go on!!!
