Adventures of the baby

The last two nights have been kinda long ones for everybody. Poor baby boy has tried to sleep, and be a good sleeper but it just wasn't working out. Whenever he was laid down it sounded like he was major congested and when I would hold him on his side to feed him it was the same thing. Me and Greg got to listen to him both two nights try and breath. It was very distracting to all three of ours sleep! I tried like 500 different ways of laying him down to help, elevated, not elevated, swaddled, blanket on top loosely, etc. and nothing would work! At his appt on Monday the doctor said to get a saline mist to put in his nose and use the bulb booger sucker thing but those weren't doing anything for him. We went back to the doctor today and got the good news that he is perfectly healthy, his nasal passages are just so tiny that any little congestion will make it hard to breath out his nose. We were given a nebulizer with saline mist we are to do twice a day for a week to get everything cleared out. When the doctor gave it to him today I was afraid he would scream for the 10 mins it takes to go through all the mist but he fell right asleep :). Other good news is he weights 8 pounds, I can't believe it, he is growing so fast!
