the sun isn't up yet. barely 5:30am and the sweet babe who has been up every two hours coughing and snotty is awake; and must have called over to big brother in the other room who also is also coughing and snotty. time to wake up! like-2 hrs earlier than normal. sweet hubby takes the babe, mama takes the toddler and back to sleep we try and go. the next two hours are restless sleep what with drip drip drips and coughs that hurt a mama's heart. blessed by a hubby who wakes up in the night to put babies back to sleep and comes home for lunch to help his weepy wife. so blessed.
the lion king and land before time are watched under a red blanket of warm bodies. a fussy baby who won't nurse or sleep, and a tired toddler. mama is trying to stay strong.
a skype session with auntie helps.
dad home for lunch, mama gets to take a nap.
back to the dr. we go this afternoon for my poor baby who is still coughing, cranky, and sniffly.
the good from all this?
caleb climbing up on the bed to be with lucas who started crying, i started to run over to prevent any breakage...and then stopping. as i watched the two of them together. caleb helping his little brother. lucas smiling up at his real life hero.
sick days aren't fun I tell ya. but from the bad, there always lies good.
love. sweet brotherly love. the unity of family. a marriage of grace and goodness.
love remains good.
here's hoping for good naps this afternoon.
Stay strong!
