We’ve been hit……
By a nasty cold virus. 
I’ve got two congested, stuffed-up, sniffling, wheezing, coughing, sneezing little kiddos on my hands and I’m not very thrilled about it.
I have remained untouched, thankfully, so I’m able to take care of the little ones without much complaint. Liam is still fairly happy, despite his ailments, but he is having a lot of trouble breathing while sleeping and nursing. I’ve been pumping and giving him bottles when he’s too stuffed up to nurse, and thankfully he is taking them no problem. He’s staying fairly hydrated, and still has wet diapers so I’m not concerned – yet.
Kenzie is just being miserable, though. She’s got quite the cough, and it saddens me to here her hacking away in her crib at night. She’s been sleeping SO much better lately, I just hope it lasts even with this nasty cold. A report on post-soother trauma; she’s forgotten all about it! Score. It was a long week and for a while there we thought we were going to buckle under the pressure, but we stuck with it and she’s finally sleeping through the night again without waking up. Naptimes are still all over the place, and she’s been waking up at the 1-hour mark… sometimes crying and going back to sleep, other times refusing to quit until I take her out. Oh well…. you win some……
That’s been life around here. We’re loving our days at home and our routine. I am working out hard with JM and her crew, and have lost some inches in the last couple weeks! 5 lbs. and I’m officially almost back to me pre-pre-preganancy weight (before I got pregnant with Kenzie!)
But I’m off…. Greg’s dad is staying here tonight and I don’t even have a bed made up yet. EEP!
