Under the weather

My poor little baby has a cold, again. I of course can't help feeling like a terrible mother as this is already his second cold in his very short life. I hope it's true about helping them build immunity.

He is Jekyll and Hyde baby at the moment. One minute he is his usual happy self, smiling and babbling, the very next moment he is screaming at the top of his voice. He is very congested and coughing and sneezing but otherwise ok.

What with this and my bad back we are quite the pair at the moment!

Bad back

I'm not sure how, or what I did to it, but I seem to have strained my back. It got worse throughout the day and by the late afternoon I couldn't bend down to pick things up. This makes things very difficult when you have a three month old baby to look after.

Poor kid, hasn't been on his activity mat all day today. I was scared to put him on it in case I couldn't pick him up later. I'm glad it's the weekend and Daddy is around to help out. I really hope I can rest and heal my back within that time.

Scary stuff!
