Crying...appears to be a choice on the girls noise machine from the sounds of it!

As I sit here typing this, my dear husband is taking his shift in attempting to console one of our very sick babies. This isn't the first night this has been going on either so this is wearing on us greatly. All night (between 6-10 times at a minimum) we are awakened to the sound of a high-pitched scream coming from the nursery :( This alerts us to the fact that, once again, this illness (bronchiolitis/RSV) has taken over our little one's body and is causing her great discomfort. We've tried patting, rocking, feeding, singing, you name it just to get her sweet body to rest. And then she will fall asleep-just not for long before the next spouse takes their shift. We pass each other going up and down the stairs and try not to stumble too much. Our other sweet girl is just as sick, if not sicker, but is just one tough cookie and has maintained her 11-12 hour a night sleeping schedule which is unbelievable to us! We're beginning to think that she thinks "crying" is one of the options on her sound machine because her sister is pretty consistent with it =) We pray God heals them both quickly because a week of doing this already is taking its toll on this mommy and daddy. Also, no person can stay locked up in a small house with two extremely fussy babies for too long before you feel like you MUST get out :) Praying for God to continue to sustain us and give us just enough strength to keep going each morning...this too shall pass I know-just hoping it's sooner rather than later!! This is definitely their first "real" sickness and first antibiotics other than a little runny nose which has reminded us of how merciful and gracious the Lord has been in granting them good health these past 9 months!
