Colds.
And here I thought we'd seen the last of them for awhile. Caleb was sick from October-December basically on and off with colds, ear infections, croup, etc. Then the holidays hit and although we were around people with colds, staying in the same house with them actually, he didn't catch one. I was amazed. I was expecting him to get sick. And then Monday night when I did my before bed peek in on Caleb I heard snoring...and I knew...it wouldn't be long before drip drip was knocking on our door. Poor guy has constant snot coming out of his nose and was up every two hours last night. I was having a blast from the past of his newborn days. How ever did we manage those nights? So now Dave and I are walking zombies with a sick boy and I'm just hoping it doesn't turn into another ear infection or worse. And my theory once again. Story time! We hadn't been from December till this past Friday and not sick at all. Friday we go. And what do you know! It seems like the past three colds Caleb got came a few days after storytime. Well, it's just my theory. We might be frequenting Barnes and Noble story time in Gilroy instead for awhile where it is way less crowded, clean, and a little more sanitary all around. Just my vent on something so trivial. It doesn't seem like a big deal but it means no playgroups or activities with other babes and moms for awhile and it means I go a little stir crazy. Walks and playing outside all day are in order this week!
your theory is probably correct. I heard that you will get symptoms 3 days after exposure. keep him hydrated and wash your hands so you don't get sick. I keep some disinfecting wipes around to wipe off the table, toys, light switches, etc that might have germs sprayed or touched on.
