Got sleep?


Jordan's cold has escalated into a full on chest cold. Her cough is so strong that it wakes her up. Last night she woke up at one in the morning and only really fell back to sleep at about four thirty. Getting her back to sleep was not the problem, it was getting her to stay asleep. Matt even took her for a walk around the block at about two only to have her wake up again twenty minutes later. She seems most comfortable sleeping on my chest or propped up against us with her head elevated. The poor thing! Since she was up most of the night I had little to no sleep and was really dragging today. Thank goodness "poppa" was able to take the girls for a drive and I was able to get about forty minutes of much needed sleep.
Tonight we are not even attempting to put her to sleep in her room. Both of us are way too tired to trek up there in the middle of the night. I suppose a trip to the pediatrician might be in our future. Perhaps they will be able to prescribe something to break up the cough and help our poor baby rest. Then maybe Matt and I can get a good nights sleep so we can get rid of this nasty cold!
