Sad sicky

Yup, the Ports isn't feeling too well. Yesterday for lunch I noticed that he really didn't eat anything and was being a bit more clingy. After we got him up from his nap he was feeling pretty hot, but he recently hid the thermometer somewhere so we couldn't take his temperature. I was going out to dinner with some friends so Jeff was taking over the helm at home with Porter. They ran some errands (which included buying a new thermometer) and ate dinner. When I got home I saw Porter sitting on the couch wearing only his diaper and socks, and Jeff right next to him not looking too happy. I also heard the washer on, and since I had just done laundry a few days ago I figured the poor little guy had thrown up, which he had. His temperature after he threw up was down to 99 and he seemed to be doing better. I went to go give Porter a hug and sure enough, he smelled like puke. Poor little guy. We gave him as many fluids as he would take and put him to bed (after a good scrub down in the bath).

This morning he started calling out "Mama, please" over and over about 45 minutes before we normally get him up, so we got him up early because I knew he still wasn't feeling well. Even if he wakes up before I go to get him up he normally just waits in his room and plays in his crib, but not when he doesn't feel well. So he didn't really eat breakfast and was just all mopey all morning and always wanted me to hold him (which I've got to admit I loved) but even when I was holding him he would still be moaning and whimpering - poor little guy. We kept taking his temp and it would be either 99 or 100 which doesn't worry us too much. I fed him lunch, which he did eat a little of, then put him down for an early nap. Hopefully he'll sleep for a good long time. His body is taking care of this and he'll be better soon. In the meantime he's just a sad little boy who feels poopy, thus he's whiney and clingy, but can you really blame him?

When he wasn't on my lap he would just be laying on the floor or the couch.
