sniffles and snuffles...

we had a long night last night.

early in the morning (2 am or so?) craig was woken up by a lot of gurgling and snuffling from the bassinet. it was soon after that we were both jolted out of bed by a scream that we'd haven't heard before. callum had a congested head and didn't know what was going on. he was stuffy, and so he started to cry from the discomfort, but as he was so stuffy his breathing was even worse. the cycle kept repeating itself until he let out the scream that got us out of bed. we ended up staying up for a few hours with him, cleaning out his head, and consoling him when he got upset from being sick.

today we took him to the doctor to find out that callum is sick with his very first cold. beyond sucking the snot out of his nose and putting him to bed with his head elevated there's not much we can do to alleviate his discomfort.
