Feeling Better

Once again all three boys have had a round of sickness. It started on Thursday with Collin and on Friday I ended up taking Brock in to the doctor. It was just a little flu bug with the sniffles and cough. No fever, but lots of wheezing. So I got some meds and started doing breathing treatments and it looks like we are about through the fun. I have a feeling we might see more sickness this winter. It has started early. Looking back to last year I took all three in on Halloween day for RSV tests, so at least we were a week sooner with this round. I am hoping to take the three little rascals trick-or-treating this year.

Their sleeping habits are getting better. When we put them down at night they go right to sleep. Once in a while one of them will cry for a few minutes, but they all fall asleep ON THEIR OWN. As for the middle of the night, that is a different story. Last night Matt said we couldn't get them if they woke up in the night, because he is sick of sharing the bed with them. Honestly, I am too. Around 10:40 they woke up. It was just Brock and Collin in their room, because Aiden was in with us. I know, I said we were done. Once baby in bed with us isn't bad though and he woke up earlier really congested and was very restless and upset. So anyway, when Brock and Collin woke up we let them cry, and cry, and cry. I couldn't fall asleep, but Matt had no problem sleeping with the crying. After almost two hours, I gave up. Collin was totally upset and it took me almost 20 minutes to calm him down. Brock on the other hand was wide awake at this point and wasn't anywhere near sleep. Finally at about 3:30 a.m. when Brock fell asleep, sleep finally came for me. Can I just say that I am extremely tired today. This has got to get easier. If anyone has any advice for me, I would really love to hear it.

Yesterday Kayla had the dolls and all the buggies out and was playing. Brock got ahold of one of them with a baby and he was having a marvelous time. His dad wasn't to happy to see him playing dolls, but I thought it was really cute.

So sorry about the sickness. Having 1 sick is bad enough....so I can imagine that 3 sick isn't fun. I just found out about a lady in my ward that is 16 weeks along with triplets. She has a boy and a girl right now, had 2 miscarriages, and then had a baby boy die 2 years ago when he was 3 months old....so essentially she has lost 3 babies....so I think it is amazing that she is expecting 3. I hope they all make it.

I can't imagine, I am having a hard time getting 1 child to sleep the entire night. Good luck, it must get better eventually.

Tell Matt that little boys playing with dolls make really great Dads! Tyler survived and has no question of "being a man".
