Yes, that's a beer. Now you know these photos aren't staged.
We've been very lucky with Ben. While we've faced some issues with him being a preemie and in the NICU, as well as all the dairy allergy problems, he hasn't been sick. Until now.
Last night we were woken up at midnight with screaming and we discovered he had a temp of 103.6. I had taken him to the doctor earlier in the day because of a 101 fever and crankiness, which is so unlike him. Lucas always seemed to have something involving a fever so during this lull we'd forgotten about the late nights of sweaty, tearful, cranky cuddling. No one slept well- except for Lucas who is really learning to stay asleep through the screaming- and the day was just as miserable. It seems the only thing that makes Ben comfortable is cuddling, nursing or sleeping.
I could be frustrated that his sickness is hampering our weekend plans. We wanted to see the opening of my friend's art show tonight at a local coffee shop and we may have to cancel a visit with my sister tomorrow. But, it is what it is and the most important thing is that we get him comfortable and feeling better soon. There is only a short time in his life where cuddling with mommy will solve his problems. I am going to try my best to keep that perspective when I'm holding him at 2am...
