MY POOR LITTLE MAN!!

Ok Wednesday night my mom watched Krew for us and she called to tell us she thought he either had an ear ache or is teething. Adam and I got him home and all he did was cry until about 10, then he finally fell asleep. Thursday came and after taking Aimee to the airport, he was crying uncontrollably and I finally called my Dr. She recommended for us to take him to the after hours facility at Superstition mall. So, we get there and when the Dr. comes in we kind of tell her what has been going on and that he is drooling alot but no fever and we think he is teething. She does her exam and when she starts looking around in his mouth she finds 2 huge sores on his upper gums. She said it was a viral infection and they are kind of like cankers. We could not even believe it. I of course was freaking out because I couldn't figure out how he would get them so we asked. She said it could be from other kids putting their fingers in his mouth or sucking on his pacifiers and then giving them to him without washing them. Oh my gosh I freaked because we caught my brothers youngest daughter doing that and of course we stopped her right away and washed it, but didn't think to sterilize the rest of them, so basically that's the jest of it. So, when landen was born, I basically created this bubble and would not let a single person touch him without washing their hands. I wouldnt even let Charley's youngest sister hold him until he was like 6 months old. Then Adam made me feel guilty by saying that's mean and we can't do that with Krew. AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS, no more listening to that. I am going into bubble mode again. Our date nights are now on hold and no one is going to be allowed to even touch him without sanitizing their hands first.

Well, we took him for his regular Dr. visit today and she confirmed it's a viral infection and agreed with me about the whole living in a bubble thing. She says she sees nothing wrong with keeping your child sheltered and in his own little bubble till he is older. So, at his check, he weighs 12 lbs, 8 oz, is 24 inches long. He is in the 75th percentile, so he is healthy.

So so so sad, he got 4 shots!! Not good at all he cried and cried and cried and all I could do was hold him. I felt so bad. Even when he woke up from his nap he was miserable!! I hate shots. He slept the whole way home and for an additional 3 hours but he is just miserable. Here are some pics of him on the way home from the Doctor.
