Sick babies

My babes are sick for the first real time, since being young (and having stuffy noses).  This week has been full on coughing, sneezing, snotty noses, needy, clingy, not wanting to eat, not wanting to sleep...the list goes on.  It's been a week of 5:30am wakings, 30 minute naps, and nap protests.  This mama is tiiiired!  There's been little downtime, and now hubby and I are sick too.  I keep expecting life to get easier, but then things like this come along, and show me again how little control I have in a world of babies.

But, amongst it all, there was a glimmer of light.  My little MJ learned to say "mama" finally.  Sure, he follows me around ALL day like a little puppy pulling on my pant legs and saying "mama, mama."  Sure he cried when I left and didn't let dad put him down for nap because he only wanted mama.  Sure he wants to be picked up a million times a day and my arms and back are killing me.  But I have a sweet little boy who truly loves his mama.
