It's Official... Benjamin's First Cold...

Well, so it seems the yesterday's even worse than usual fussiness wasn't all that crazy after all. The boy woke up around 1:30 this morning with sneezing and with a snot-filled nose. Poor little guy. He couldn't sleep much after that, so we were all up pretty much the whole night. Things seem to be getting progressively worse as the day wears on. I'm just hoping and praying the end result isn't an ear infection for Thanksgiving Day. :(

I took a little trip to Walgreens and stocked up on $30 worth of baby pharmecuticals to be prepared for any situation that may arise this weekend -- teething-related OR cold-related.

From left to right:
* Little Teethers pain relief gel and comfy teether - to numb sore little gums
* Infant Tylenol+Cold Drops - to knock out any pain, fever and stuffiness
* Thermometer pacifier - an uninvasive method to find out if there is any fever
* Medicine dispenser pacifier - to trick the baby into swallowing the meds (thanks to R-belle for recommending this!
* Hyland's Teething Tablets
* Three-month supply of birth control pills - so we only have to deal with one cold-stricken baby at a time
