Livi's cold is worse today
Poor thing woke up in the middle of the night with a fever. We stripped her down and gave her some motrin. One it went down we put on a very light footless pair of pjs. She slept late and is now a boogery mess 
Like yesterday didn't suck enough for the poor kid. Now she has to deal with this. I can't even really hold her my back is so sore. She's managed to eat a bit of her breakfast but she looks like she's going to fall asleep in it. I took her to the Dr. yesterday so I know her ears and chest are clear, but she is just so miserable. ::whine::

We are in the exact same boat! DD has a fever too, and we have been giving her motrin for it. Her nose is a runny mess, and when she bf's she has to come up for air after a few gulps. I feel sooo bad for her! I have been breaking all of the rules like letting her sleep with us and holding her when she naps.
I did go get some Vick's baby rub, and I think it definitely helps her! It's not medicated, but it is very soothing, and it makes me feel like I am able to do something for her besides cuddling, wiping her nose, and refilling the humidifier. Hang in there!
The pedi said these usually take 10 days to run their course.
