It is said that all bad things come in threes. For us, we got all three at the same time this past weekend: cold, teething and growth spurt.
Jesse started with a cough last Thursday, which turned into a full fledged cold on Friday, with low grade fever and everything. Thankfully it has subsided a bit by Sunday. However on Saturday the teething pains kicked in full force. No tooth showing yet, but we can feel/see a bump on his lower. So everything (and I mean everything) goes into his mouth for a good chomp. On top of all of this, he is due for another growth spurt. There were some symptoms of this as well over the weekend. But with everything going on, it was hard to identify the symptom with the cause.
We hit the peak early Sunday morning, when we awoke at 2:45 AM with a screaming baby. He was up till almost 4 AM and was completely inconsolable. Only for him to awaken again at 6 AM until 6:45 in another fit. We tried the swing in a last attempt (before moving to the car ride) and thankfully at 6:45 it worked. Jesse slept in the swing till 11 AM, with Mom and Dad following suit, each on a couch.
However, relatively speaking we still have a relatively happy baby, minus the night times. Just keep the nasal aspirator away from him and don't wipe his nose, and all was good.
