So the last 2 weeks have been very trying for Scott and I. This has probably been the worst couple of weeks of parenthood so far. Olivia was the first to come down with a very bad cough almost 2 weeks ago. We finally took her to the doctor last Tuesday when she was having a hard time breastfeeding and sleeping. Plus her cough sounded terrible. She had an ear infection and viral infection (bad cold). Of course the other two started getting it soon after and we took Savannah to the doctor last Thursday when she was super fussy and pulling at her ear. Yes she had an ear infection also. Nobody in our house was or is sleeping well. Most nights go like this:
8pm bottles
9pm put the girls to bed
9:30pm everyone is screaming, no one is sleeping
10pm mom and dad walk out of the room and pull out their hair
10:30pm mom takes one crying child out and to her room while dad comforts the other(s)
11pm finally everyone is asleep
1am a baby wakes up, dad goes to comfort
3am a different baby wakes up, dad goes to comfort
5am a baby wakes up, dad brings baby to mom to feed
5:30am another baby wakes up, dad brings baby to mom to feed
6:30am everyone is awake
7am mom, Olivia, and Emma snooze
8am mom wakes up Olivia and Emma, feeds them, dad feeds Savannah
8:30 mom goes to work
We are ready for things to get back to normal. I have also been sick but can't get better because I can't get any sleep at night.
