This about sums up the night we had


Poor LB. Her fever was up to 39.2C / 102.5F last night all of a sudden. And LG is stuffed up and coughing... he slept through the night all right though. LB couldn't fall asleep till well after 3 a.m. even though she was SO tired. She kept just wanting us to hold her. And sitting and holding her wouldn't do. We had to stand and hold her. She's 30 lbs. That gets tiring after a while. We broke down and gave her some infant tylenol (ugh) but it took a couple of hours before she finally fully fell asleep. That was after spitting up on our bed, so she and I slept on the pull-out couch and Tom slept on the bed (with minimal bedding) to keep an ear on LG.

Today LB's fever is lower, but I know they tend to spike in the evening. LG is all snotty and coughing, but through it all, he's such a sweetie. He has these coughing fits, and then as soon as he's done he gives me a big dimply grin. Aw.

I remember feeling rather achy after having to carry either of my young children for extended periods because they would not tolerate anything but being carried with me being upright. I hope your children both recover soon.

Poor kiddos (and mom and dad)! I hope they get to feeling better soon and that you guys don't catch it too.
