Last night was a rough night for us with all 3 boys. Andrew was up and down to the two little ones with their coughing all night long and I was trying to comfort Oscar as much as I could without much success. He was trying so hard to fall asleep but was far too itchy and kept grizzling and yelling as he was so uncomfortable. Patting usually helps to soothe Oscar but last night I couldn't help him-the worst feeling in the world as a parent. By midnight he started sobbing ..so did I. Oscar doesn't complain and barely cries with everything he puts up with so when he does cry you know he's feeling shit! In the still of the night drifting off only to be startled by the hacking sounds of skin being teared apart and outbursts of discomfort, so we cry together and cuddle up while I remind my wee man how brave and strong he is and finally he nodds off around 1a.m. Not a deep sleep at all, 20 minutes here and there and wanting to keep getting up as he was uncomfortable.
Today is a very quiet day watching The Little Rascals movie and snuggling up with my three wee men while Andrew tries not to fall asleep at a literacy course for work.
