sniffle cough

I knew it was bound to happen eventually, but I wasn't ready for Grey's first cold. Last night he woke me up in the middle of the night with a sniffle, a cough, and a gag. Poor guy had the snot dripping down his throat and giving him a tickle. So I worried and paced with him, and used my mom instincts, which all turned out to be right. Today I took his temperature and called the nurse and everything should be fine if I keep an eye on him. But I had to do those things that make you nervous as a new mom - rectal temperature and nose suction. I'm paranoid now, so not sure if we'll go out to UCF on Friday or to a Superbowl party... we'll see how he does the rest of the week.
