This is what happens while Michelle takes a nap

On Monday afternoon Carson started coming down with a cold. So far since he's been born he hasn't been sick at all, so this was a first for us. It all started with him gasping for air like he couldn't breathe good. Which scared the crap out of me. Then by the time Chad got home from school and work he started up with this nasty, deep cough. Whenever he coughed he would cry. I just hated to seem him like that! That night was a very, very long night to say the least! Chad took the first shift of the night for a couple hours holding him upright in the rocking chair while he slept. Then I took the next 4 hours or so and I couldn't sleep a wink. First of all because I was scared that all of the sudden he might stop breathing or something and second because he was snoring like an old man (which was totally abnormal for him). So Wednesday morning we took little Carson to the doctor to get checked. He did have a cold, but luckily it wasn't RSV! That was a HUGE relief to hear that with it being peak RSV season and all! Later that day my lack of sleep completely caught up with me and I was exhausted. Chad was so sweet and sent me to take a nap while he watched Carson for me. I crashed for about 45 minutes before I woke up to what sounded like furniture being moved. Curious as to what might be going on I came out to find Carson's room looking like this.


These are Chad's piles and piles of endless cords. This is what you get when you are married to an electronic junkie. :)
Yes I about died when I saw my house looking like this! Amazing that he was able to make this big of mess in only 45 minutes! Serious talent I know. 10 points to the person that can find Carson in both of these pictures.
After I came out and freaked out a bit and laughed a lot I took all these pictures. Chad had moved every piece of furniture in that room from it's original position. After I took some pictures I made him put it all back because he had discovered that his grand idea of moving everything didn't quite work out as well as he had planned and the room is back to normal now thank goodness!

Here's my sweet little boy taking a nap. This cold has completely whipped him out and left him so sleepy all the time. I am happy to report though today he is feeling much better!

That is SO funny that Chad is a re-arranger and what a mess - too funny!! BTW, I got 10 points for spotting Carson, though it took me a bit:) I'm glad he is feeling better - I know you are too now!!

oh poor carson and poor parents! that does not sound like fun at all. and sadly Chad rearranging things sounds just like me. I am always rearranging things in my house to see if I like it a different way. So i understand.

What a big helper you have!!! I love to re-arrange, but he definitly wins for the fastest and most messy arranging EVER in 45 minutes!!!ha ha (just kidding Chad) So glad little Carson is doing better, not fun for any of you. Love you all

I alway think it's funny how much stuff you can fit in one area, and not even realize it until you pull it all out. I'm glad Carson did'nt have RSV, it's not fun having a sick baby.

Thanks Michelle, that is the best laugh I have had in a long time!! Maybe it is because I know Chad so well. I just hope he vacuumed behind everything before he put it back!!! I'm glad Carson is feeling better. Love you guys.

I hope Carson is feeling better! Elijah had a cold a the beginning of January and I was always afraid he would have problems breathing. We just kept sucking his poor little nose out every few hours. He's better now but I still feel paranoid about him sometimes.

I love the pictures you took of Chad's furniture arranging. That is hilarous. And I found Carson! He is just a little sweet thing sleeping!

I hate it when the little ones are sick- their whole little bodies shake when they cough and you want to cry right a long with them.
Just a tip- you may or may not already know- when they have a cough it helps to get he bathroom all steamy and then take him in there, just hold him in the steamy room for a few minutes, the steam helps loosen up all the mucous and they can clear up sooner.

I love the picture of Carson taking a nap... so precious! It is terrible when they get sick, especially when they are so little. Glad he is feeling better!

I'm sorry that he isn't feeling well. It's always bad when they're sick, but especially the first time. Let me know if you need anything or want some campany :)

Sorry that Carson isn't feeling well, but I'm SO GLAD it's not RSV. That scares me so bad!! He sure is growing up! And oh my gosh about the mess! I'd kill Cam if he did that!

Hahaha... that's hilarious about all those cords being everywhere!!! At least he can fix stuff... wes, not so much! Carson is so adorable and is changing so much!
