Caleb is 38 Weeks Old!

38 Weeks
Caleb Patrick is 38 Weeks Old!
Age: 38 Weeks
Weight: 22 lbs 5 oz.
Clothing Size: Size 9-12 months and 12-18 months
Diaper Size: Pampers Cruisers Size 4
Feeding Schedule: 4 - 5 x's per day, ~27 oz.

Caleb started out having a bit of a cold last weekend - typical baby stuff, runny nose, small cough - nothing too serious.  On Tuesday (Christmas Eve) Caleb's cold got a lot worse and he started refusing his bottle.  He was coughing A LOT in his sleep and started getting very clingy.

On Christmas, it all seemed to peak.  He was fussy if he wasn't distracted or being held, would only drink 1-2 oz. at a time and fought his naps really hard.  We were supposed to make the round Christmas afternoon but poor little man had to stay home with Grandma because we knew parading him around was not a good idea.  That night he threw up before bed.

Caleb seemed a little better Saturday morning because he slept all night and took his morning battle.  I thought things were on the mend, however I get a call from daycare saying Caleb threw up again.  I decided to make him a Dr.'s appointment (my deductible is about to reset so might as well take advantage of $7 visits while I can!).  We got the last appointment of the day and it turned out Caleb had a right ear infection as well as a skin infection in his diaper area (looked like a diaper rash just in a weird place.)  We started the antibiotics yesterday and are hoping he'll start feeling better soon.  I really hope he starts eating more as well because he's only eating about half what he normally does.
