Be Careful What You Wish For

Kaden was never the baby that would allow you to hold and cuddle with him but that never stopped my from hoping that one day he would allow his mommy to sit and rock with him. Today, I got to hold my son all day long and I found myself wishing that I could see his fun, bubbly personality and that he would put up a good fight when I tried holding him. But he just didn't have the strength and only wanted to sleep the day away, so I just wrapped my arms around him and just held him. He woke up this morning with a temperature of 102.6 and just felt like he was on fire. I called the pediatrician and they have seen a lot of kids who just have fevers, we kept a close eye on him but no other symptoms have developed. He was pretty sluggish all day but towards bedtime, after a nice temperate bath, he enjoyed some play time and sat quietly while Daddy read him his favorite book. As soon as we put the little guy down, he was out. We are hoping that we awake to his heartwarming laugh and that his fever has broken! If wanting to rock and cuddle with the K-Man means he has to be sick, I will gladly give up those dreams for a healthy boy!! Here is a picture of the little guy from today...
