Well, so far we are 2 for 2. As much as we like our Mommy and Me class (Busy Bodies) poor Max ends up sick several days after each class. This time his cold has moved into his chest and he keeps coughing. He doesn't seem overly fussy or uncomfortable...but I can tell he's just not feeling up to par and the poor kid can barely breathe.
Tonight I was getting ready to put him to bed and I swear the minute I give him his binkie and blanket...he knows sweet slumber will soon follow because I gave him his stuff and sat him on my lap in our glider in his nursery and he could barely keep his eyes open...although he was trying to fight it so he could look around and talk. :) It took less than 3 minutes and he was cuddled up on my lap and knocked out...he was sleeping so hard that his binkie even fell out. I was enjoying the snuggle time too much so I just rocked him and listened to him sleep...soaking up his sweet smell and enjoying every moment. Miles started kicking like crazy...I'm surprised he didn't kick Max awake! I think he either liked the warmth of his body or he could hear his heartbeat??
Anyways...moments like this make me worry that we jumped into having another baby too quickly. I know it's crazy...but I worry that I'll be soon depriving Max of my 100% attention and that maybe I won't know how to give equal doses to all my boys. Max is still so little...I hate the thought of him feeling neglected in any way. I know there will be a transition period...for all of us...but it's a mother's perogative to worry I suppose. In the long run...Max will love having Miles to grow up with and play with. Or so I tell myself! :)
So back to our class...I think we are going to have to miss another class tomorrow. I'm pretty bummed out about it because this is the 4rth class and this will be our 2nd time missing. But, I just don't want to expose him to more germs and expose the other toddlers to his. I'm REALLY hoping this trend stops soon though...because I want him to enjoy these classes and he won't get used to the other kids or the program if we miss class because he gets sick from going to them!!
Well, I have a choice to now pay some IJ bills or go spend some QT w/ my couch...I'm thinking the couch is winning out.
