poor little sicky poo

So imagine waking up to this face in the morning and saying to yourself.... oh good he looks better! Well, the little booger has been having a terrible week. First he caught a cold on Friday and it's been running it's course on him. He's still has a snotty nose and started coughing yesterday - although no fever thank goodness. Then he got conjunctivitis and has been getting progressively more eye goo since Saturday. But the worst of it seemed to be Sunday and Monday because our normally active and wiggly little baby was just laying down all day and didn't want to play or crawl or turn over while getting his diapers changed. We're happy to report that he was actually smiling this morning and more active - despite the horrible state of his eyes and nose. He's still not back to his normal self, but he does seem to slowly be getting better or at least running through the symptoms.
We went to the Dr. on Monday but she said it was likely viral and so antibiotics wouldn't help. But everyone else I know gets drops for the eyes with the conjunctivitis so I might try for a second opinion. I caught the pink eye from Marius and am using an old tube of antibiotic gel in my eye and it is nowhere near as bad as Marius's. I told myself I'd go back into the Dr. today if the eye didn't clear up, but since his temperament seems better, I think I may give it another day.
Simon and I also caught his cold and are going through it with him, the poor kid. So far I just have a sore throat, but I'm sure the snot and cough are only a day away. Simon's loading himself full of cold medicine, but I'm not supposed to take that stuff while still breastfeeding. Although perhaps since Marius is sick too, he'll get the right baby proportion through me? Yeah, I'd still better not and just tough it out sans medication with him.
On another front, our house search may have to begin anew. We're getting a little scared off about the flat's structural issues (not that we feel unsafe but the resale will be a nightmare) and may fully back out of our offer unless the sellers come down a lot on the price. We're going to look at a few other places in another part of town tomorrow evening and then another place by the beach on Sunday. Hopefully something works out soon so we can finally start getting settled. We're really both sick and tired of renting.
