Doctor Visits

Before the monster got sick

   On Wednesday, I got a text message from my dad that Malachi had that weird barky cough again. Of course, I start freaking out. I text Marc right away and he sets up an appointment. Our original pediatrician is not there so he schedules it with someone else. I wish I could have went with, but I had a meeting after school. He tells Marc that it is not Croup Cough and it probably wasn't the last time either. Marc said the doctor said he had some fluid build up behind his ears that was making him hoarse. Hopefully, the antibiotic he prescribed will help. It has been really hard hearing him cough on the monitor at night. He is a trooper though and stays asleep even though I know it has to bother him.

    Also, on Wednesday after his long nap we went to Moe's to help the Jaycee's with a fundraiser. Malachi was a hit! Even though he was sick he was running around Moe's and have a terrific time. He's become a picky eater though. We can barely get him to eat anything but goldfish. I enjoy hearing him say "fish" and sign it to me, but I wish there was something more that he would eat. On Thursday night, he decided that it would be fun to smash some goldfish with his baseball bat. He thinks its fun, but the clean-up isn't.

Mommy and Malachi Time

    Thursday night was a peaceful night of Mommy and Malachi time. I love snuggling with him right before bedtime. This is such a great age, because he still wants me to hold him (sometimes) and I get to cuddle with him at bedtime. There is nothing better than coming home and getting kisses from your baby boy.

   Last night, we went over to my parents to have some pizza and to spend some time with them. Malachi gets a lot of Grandma and Grandpa time, but Marc and I don't get as much. It was nice just hanging out with them, eating some Papa John's, and get a little break.
    This morning I told Marc that I would get up with Malachi since he was going to work on the nursery. I'll try to update some pictures this weekend. I actually got a lot done, surprisingly, but the only way I could was to let Malachi play with the pots and pans. Needless to say, I don't think that daddy ended up getting much sleep. He was so cute though! It seemed like he got out every pot and pan that we have in our cupboard. Also, he tried to find the matching lid for each pan. How adorable is our little man? We are looking forward to a relaxing weekend with not much to do.
