little sickies




i have two little sick ones on my hands. 
my first time having two kids sick at the same time. 
let me tell you... it's exhausting! 

up all night, crying... more crying trying to play sneaky little games to get them to take medicine.
when all that fails just shoving it down their throats and having them
 brighton kick and knock it out of your hands going everywhere. 
oh yes so very exhausting. 

but when that moment comes that they just cling to you to hold their sweaty little fevered bodies 
and they berry their little heads deep into your chest. 
they may not say out loud but they are saying ma ma, i want you, and only you,
 to hold me... to take care of me.... to love me

that my friend is when the exhaustion is ALL worth it!

i decided to take nixon grey into the dr just to make sure it wasn't something more serious. 

"just a cold with lots of mucus" the dr told me. 
i was very relieved, he may look like a big boy but he is still only 4 months. 
(oh and btw he now weighs 17lbs!.? he was 15 2 weeks ago)

his little voice is so raspy it's so sad and a tiny bit cute. 
he can't even cry cause it voice is so raspy 
it melts my heart to hear and i just want to do any little thing possible for him. 
he is so so so sweet. 

i love my boys so much 

poor bighton is def more sick than nixon. 
i hope they both get better fast 
until then we will continue to watch everything disney and snuggle oh and feel exhausted ;)

It is one of the hardest things to have sick kids. It breaks your heart. Hate to tell you, but they often will be sick at the same time... same house, same germs... it tends to spread back and forth between the kids. At least they can be sick together and well and happy together! I hope that comes sooner than later!
