Poor Sick Baby..and Poor Tired Mommy

Henry is currently in the throes of his very first cold. I should say we're all in the throes of it, as the only way he can sleep without choking on mucus is by laying on my shoulder while I'm sitting up in bed, and even then he's been waking up a lot completely miserable. After two nights of this I appealed to my wonderful husband, who came home from work early today so I could get some rest.

I'm thinking staying up all night with a sick child is a rite of initiation into motherhood. I'll be waiting for my certificate to arrive in the mail.
