Today has been full of runs to CVS, endless calls to the emergency room, and lots of attempts to keep our sick baby boy happy. I could complain, and say that I'm SO exhausted from hardly any sleep last night, and very short breaks today.. but my heart instead, is filled to the brim with joy!
Let me explain..
Ayden has wanted nothing but to be in his mommy's arms today. Since waking up this morning, he's pretty much been in them, too. His schedule consisted of a visit to the doctor first thing, (which confirmed an ear infection.. 5 days before his birthday, and 2 before his party- please pray for speedy recovery..!), and lots and lots of cartoons & naps. He would be content awake, and rocking in mommy's arms for maybe 30 minutes, then need a 30 minute nap.. this went on and on until around supper time when he finally got a mini boost of energy! He played and babbled for the first time all day, and started to show some of his true colors again.
At one point earlier today, I was changing his diaper while he was watching YO GABBA GABBA (his absolute fav!).. when I was done he just laid there for another 10 minutes.. usually, he's doing back-flips to get away from the diaper change! After those 10 minutes had past, he looked over at me, barely lifted himself up, put his head on my lap and fell asleep.. that NEVER happens. Poor guy was just miserable, but knowing that my touch alone could bring him so much comfort just melted my heart..!
I was blessed with the amazing opportunity to cuddle with my precious angel again (ALL DAY).. just like when he was a wee little newborn. So, today was an amazing day.
