TGIF

It has been a rough week in our house. Olivia had a terrible cold last week and this week had a cough that wouldn't quit. Late Sunday night, Addie all of a sudden had a terrible cold. She woke up crying and the only way we were able to get her comfortable to sleep was to hold her in just the right position. I held her for what seemed like hours but really wasn't. After a little Tylenol and holding her until she was fast asleep, I was able to get her to sleep in her crib.

Monday, Bill and I were exhausted. I didn't expect Addie to feel well and was ok with the idea of staying home from work since I was so tired but she woke up with a big smile on her face. She had an ok day but still seemed to feel pretty rotten. Fortunately, Monday night was better sleep for all of us.

Tuesday, Bill woke up with the cold. Addie still felt rough. We went to "Soup and Sandwich Night" at Liv's school and on the way home, Addie threw up in the car, all over herself. As if a terrible cold wasn't enough! Tuesday night was another sleep deprived night. Addie stopped throwing up after we got home but just couldn't get comfortable. Watching her move her head to find a comfortable position reminded me so much of Olivia when she had an ear infection so.......

Wednesday, Bill stayed home with Addie and took her to the doctor to have her ears checked. The doctor was on the fence about whether or not the left ear was infected. She said to give it a day or 2 and if she was still showing signs of ear pain, to give her the antibiotic. (They really prefer to not give kids her age any medicine if they can avoid it.) Now I also have the cold. So, Liv is coughing. Addie, Billy, and I have a miserable cold and it's only Wednesday. Are you sure your head can't really explode from sinus pressure??

Thursday, Addie is starting to feel much better. Billy and I are miserable. We thought about putting the girls to bed at 6:30 so we could go to bed too but didn't.

Today, Addie is a lot better. Liv is barely coughing. Billy and I are a little less miserable. Thank God It's Friday!!!!!! Next week has to be better!!!!!

Here are my new favorite pictures of the girls....pre-sickness!
