Sick Children...

My 3 have a cold, I really hate summer colds. Last night Caden kept waking up whining cause he couldn't breathe, even after I slathered on the Vicks. Rylen kept waking up too. Well, he did sleep a 2 hour stretch from 2-4. Then he was awake from about 4:00 - 4:45 am. He wasn't too miserable, he wanted to play a little. He let me know by slapping me over and over again. Then he'd kiss me, then slap me again. He was just restless and was having a hard time nursing from being so stuffy. I layed him down and patted his back for about 30 minutes, and the kid would not fall asleep. Finally, I asked Daddy to intervene. He got up, fixed him a small bottle, and sure enough got him to sleep. Daddy says Ry only pulls that act on Mommy, not on him. Brit seems to be surprisingly ok, except for her out right defiance to pick up toys, but I'm not sure I can attribute that to being sick...she's just being Brit.
Now I've got a terrible headache from having a crappy night, and know it will probably repeat itself in just a few hours.

I'm going through the same thing with the Twins. Caitlyn has really bad allergies and Chloe's getting it now too. And they are all runny nosed and watery eyes and at night they are like half stuffy and runny and keep waking up. They are having trouble eating at night too, which only frustrates them. I've been so pooped for the last few days. I know exactly how you feel. Some of those late nights, just know that I'm probably awake too =)
