What To Do With a Sick Noah?

I knew something was up with Noah when he woke up more than normal last night. I went in to feed him at 6:50am and instead of him waking up with smiles he cried and fell back to sleep. I was happy to lay with him for a while longer because I had such a terrible night of sleep myself. All the coughing was keeping me in a light sleep. Noah has had a fever on and off this week but been pretty normal. Today he woke up with a fever of 100. The highest it's been so far. He wasn't as wormy and squirmy as he normally is. We put him down at noon and he woke up 30 minutes later. Usually you can set a clock to him. He sleeps exactly 40 minutes. So I went upstairs and tried to pat him back to sleep. He fell asleep until a little after 1pm. I took him out of the crib and nursed him. He fell back to sleep. I laid with him dozing until he woke me up again. I then gave him his pacifier. He continued sto wake and sleep until 3:15 when he seemed to be awake enough that I got him up. I held him most of the evening. He slept on me a while until I put Hannah down at 7pm. I was hoping he'd continue to sleep so I could just peacefully lay him down in his crib. He didn't. He woke right up again. He was so cute and sweet. Robert had to remind me that I needed to put him down inorder for everyone to get some rest tonight. I just didn't want to hear the crying and was afraid that it would be worse than normal. I couldn't do it. I nursed and changed and kissed Noah, then handed him over to Robert. I felt like I was being really cold. Should I hold him to sleep? He's sick. Robert put him down and Noah fussed on and off for a half an hour and then fell asleep. Sleep well my baby Mommy misses you.
