RSV and Jackson's Big Boy Bed

This is my first time to write on here and I'm excited!  

This week has been one of the craziest weeks ever.  Jackson has had RSV and 103 temperature.  We have had to do a nebulizer-?? every 4 hours.  This may not sound too bad, but trust me it has been terrible.  It has taken Justin completely restraining Jackson while I have had to put this creepy looking mask that is supposed to look like a fish on his face and try to hold it there for 10 minutes while he is screaming, kicking, and flailing his arms everywhere so he can hopefully breathe in some of the medicine.  We literally got a 10 minute workout everytime we went through this process, we were both sweating by the time we finished and Jackson would be so tired he would fall asleep afterwards.  I had never seen Jackson this sick, it was so sad.  Here is a picture of the creepy nebulizer, I do not blame him for not wanting to wear this thing, it is scary!  

On a better note, Jackson is feeling much better today and he has finally been able to enjoy his first big boy bed.  Jackson got a bunk bed this week, I always wanted a bunk bed when I was little and never got one, so of course Jackson could not have the same injustice done to him =)! We had to take the ladder off until he is older, but he is loving the bottom bunk for now.  Even though he is having so much fun, it has been kind of sad for me.  When we were taking his crib apart I kept thinking that he is not a little baby anymore.  It is just another reminder of how big he is getting and how fast time has gone by.  Here is a picture of Jackson and Jackson and CoCo playing in his bed, so cute!
