It's official - Brooke & I both have colds. She has been handling it pretty well, but nights are really rough. If she is on her back for a long period of time she has trouble breathing. Then she coughs. Then she gets herself all worked up. Then she has a crying fit. It's been a few days and I'm hoping she is at the tail end of it ... maybe if we ride out the weekend it will be over.I'm just at the beginning of mine, but am also hoping it moves its way on out soon. It is actually quite challenging to manage her while I'm not feeling so well. The toughest part of it is that Brooke's lack of sleep at night has led to a lack of sleep for me too, and battling a cold on minimum levels of sleep is not easy. Today she took a really long nap in the middle of the day and I realized that I should have taken the opportunity to nap too. Of course, I didnt. That leaves her well rested (and likely to not want to sleep tonight) and me dragging along wishing for a decent nights sleep. Thankfully we have Daddy around this weekend - thats why we need to get rid of the colds before he is back at work!
