Teething

Well this week started out with Mommy getting a cold.... O Joy!

This meant that Asher and Mommy couldn't take Grandpa M to his Chemo appointment on Monday just in case either Grandpa or one of the other Cancer patients caught Mommy's cold too!

This also meant that Mommy's Birthday which was on Wednesday was going to be a non event since no one wanted Mommy's germs!!! So we decided to move Mommy's bday to Friday!

On Friday Grandma and Grandpa M, Aunty B and Aunty Gerry came over and we all had Thai for dinner. Then Great Grandpa and Grandma Ross came over for cake later on!

Asher gave mommy a beautiful necklace which had Diamonds and Ruby's (Asher's birthstone) for her birthday!

Asher is already quite good and picking out Jewellery!

But since mommy had been sick, of course we were all worried that Asher might get sick also... he started with these cute little coughs and he also had a runny nose that came and went on Thursday and Friday. However he didn't have a fever and since both the cough and runny nose seemed to come and go we weren't sure if he in fact had a cold or if he was teething!

On Saturday night when I got home from Grandma and Grandpa M's house, I changed his diaper and found Green Poop! So of course I had to google it to make sure all was OK! Turns out Green poop can be a sign of teething. I then googled other signs of teething which include:

Irritability - Check

Drooling - Check

Coughing - Check

Biting/Gnawing - Check (he has been gnawing on his fist)

Diarrhea - Check (green poop)

Not Sleeping Well - Check

Low grade fever - nope

And Cold like symptoms (runny nose etc.) - Check

Had I not been sick earlier in the week, we probably would have caught on that all his symptoms were teething related, rather then thinking he too was getting my cold, but at least we figured it out and can deal with it accordingly!!
