Two Sick Babies....

...makes one very exhausted, overwhelmed and frustrated momma. Neither one is sleeping well. Addison screamed for 3 hours straight last night (only to fall asleep at midnight and wake back up at 12:30am) and Jackson wakes up screaming in the morning now. The doctor says it is just a cold. Cold = nonstop coughing and sneezing as well as literal rivers of snot coming out of both of their noses. It's insane. This is our first baby illness around here, so I guess we were due. But wow. This sucks. It is so sad to see them both struggling to breathe through all that snot. I know they have to feel miserable. They both seem to be in pretty good spirits for not feeling well (well, minus the screaming fits). I guess I should feel lucky that they are actually acting a lot like their normal selves except when it comes to sleeping. But this mom needs her sleep in order to have the energy to work, take care of two babies (by myself for quite a large portion of the day/night), and organize our upcoming move (the to-do list is too long to even think about).


Just thought I'd share my glorious situation right now:). Wish me luck! The doctor says the cold could last up to a week...Jax has had it 4 days so far, today is Addison's first official day of it. Ugggghhh.

  4. I want to give you a big hug and then play with your little ones while you take a nap! Sorry this is a challenging week but I'll be praying for speedy recovery from these hideous colds for both A and J!

  5. On a positive note, their immune systems work! "Rivers of snot", sounds like an Erma Bombeck book. Even more graphic is when the poor things just lick when the rivers are really running. It will get better after toddler hood. Oh the joy of babies and their endless supply of body fluids.

  6. whoa. whoa. whoa. And a move? Oh dear me. It's time to call in LOTS of help. Everyone you know who love to hold a baby while you rest, shower, pack a box.

    Thinking of you!

  7. Yes, can you believe they are moving the end of the month? Brave souls. Faith, you are at your best under pressure but I'm sure you are thinking this is toooooooo much. You and Jason will make it through it but be sure to ask your GREAT friends out there to help. Wish we could be there to help with the babies. Give them snotty hugs and kisses for us. MISS YOU ALL SOOOO MUCH.
