In Sickness and in Health

Jesse woke up last night about 10:30 pm vomiting. It seems he's caught the bug Jack had 5 days ago. Poor baby. I hate their first "sick". It's just so sad because they don't understand what's going on. Luckily when it was over he went right back to sleep. It was a rough night though. I moved his crib mattress next to our bed on the floor and piled pillows around him. He woke again at midnight and again at 2 am. Then it was over. Needless to say, I didn't get much sleep. Tom pretty much slept through the entire thing. I don't know how men can do that. I guess it must be nice to have such peace of mind to just turn off any concern because you know someone else will take care of it. I wish I could do that sometimes. But mothers just aren't wired that way.

Luckily it's a quick bug. By morning, Jesse was a lot better. Not much of an appetite though. That's just how Jack was last week when he had it.

Most of our day was filled with a lot of whining and crying. Jesse was out of sorts, wanting to be held a lot and Jack just decided to chime in with his own constant whining. I guess he was getting jealous of any extra attention given to Jesse. Tom and I just looked at each other. It was one of those "is it over yet?" kind of days.

The only good thing about a day like today is that you know tomorrow will be better.
