My poor baby

So Alden is really sick for the first time. He has a viral cold and an ear infection. My poor baby. Monday night he slept a total of three hours!!!!! Last night he slept a bit better, up every three hours. I have been up since 5:00 am though and it sucks. It's so hard to watch the little guy in so much pain.

I don't know what we would do without Shirley though. She kept Alden all day and even went to the Dr. with us so that we could nap yesterday. She is such a blessing. To have her come to the house every day to take care of him is so awesome. SHe is so selfless. It's so nice for him to have her and be able to have that relationship with her.

The latest

So after fighting and trying to figure out what is wrong with Rodney's knee they FINALLY did something for him and figured out his a strained LCL & Miniscus. He has to go to physical therapy and he should be fine in the next 6-8 weeks!!!!!! It pisses me off because they couldn't have done this two months ago. Oh well, he will be switching from Group Death during open enrollment.

We booked our airfare for Vegas & California. I am so excited to take Alden to Disneyland. It is going to be a blast. I am trying to buy a ton of Disney movies so that when we go he will know at least some of the characters.

Alden is still not sleeping through the night. I kind of feel like I will never know what sleep is like again. It is starting to wear on me. At least it isn't like it was 2 months ago with him up 5-6 times a night. We are going to try to lay him down in his crib instead of the car seat this weekend and see if that might help. I never realized how precious sleep was.

We need to plan a trip over to Spokane. I am just dreading the drive. We will have to rent a hotel room because I don't want to have everyone have to deal with his terrible night routine. It will be fun, I just need to get over my fear of him being a little terror during the drive.
