Feeling better…

Mommy and Connor started with a cold a little before Christmas and then Daddy got sick on New Years Day.  Connor was congested and coughing for nearly two weeks.  We tried the humidifier, the vapor plugins, and saline drops and they didn’t seem to help much.  It finally ran its course and Connor started returning to his normal self last weekend.

During that time period, Mommy and Daddy were subjected to less the ideal sleeping conditions.  Connor was waking up 3-5 times a night coughing and crying at times.  He would only be up for about 2 or 3 minutes, but when that happens and it interrupts your sleep pattern, it can take its toll on the adults.  We are much more rested as Connor returned to his normal sleep pattern last Saturday night.  (Daddy was especially thrilled to see this happen.)

Two days in a row during that stretch, we actually brought Connor into our bed around 4am so he could sleep the rest of the morning.   Something we might have only done once in the previous 11 months.  I enjoyed that, but it is hard to sleep comfortable when you are worrying about hitting him with an elbow or disturbing his sleep.

I guess we were a little spoiled since Connor has always been an excellent sleeper.

Anyways…once we get the Christmas decorations put away this weekend and get caught up on other things I will try to post more of the pics from over the Holiday season.
