A Cry.....

A cry can mean alot of things. It can indicate hunger, thirst, sadness, frustration, tiredness, or an I just want you feeling. A cry can be both a whimper and a gut wrenching, heart tugging sound. A cry from a little boy who never really cries pulled this momma's heart right out of her chest. That cry like something really bad was happening is such an unfamiliar sound with Jae-min that it gave me anxiety and fear. Our little man was crying, not just whimpering. He was sick and something was terribly wrong. Come to find out our little man has pneumonia. The cries haven't stopped but they have subsided some. He is slowly on the mend, thank goodness.
Through this experience I have learned that when your usually happy child continues to let out those gut wrenching cries its ok to cry along with him!!!My week has been filled with snots, coughs, snuggles, books, more snuggles, and a little man who needs his momma. The weirdest part of all is that I wouldn't want it any other way.

Welcome to parenthood. When our babies are sick, we hurt more than they do. Just cuddling and rocking them is the best medicine in the world. I am sure that Jae-min is feeling much better quicker because of the love of his parents. Love is the best medicine in the world. Love Mom and Dad

We've never seen Jae-min so sick! When I saw him on Monday morning, I knew that something was terribly wrong. He's starting to look more like himself and is starting to act better now. You both need to rest when he does. We're here to support you and you know that you can call us anytime. Get bettter soon, Jae-min!
