My poor babies are sick. I thought last week was bad with the running noses, terrible congestion, and occasional projectile vomiting. But now they're coughing and coughing. It sounds terrible. And for Kaida it's that kind of cough where you can just tell that it hurts. I feel so bad for them.
Colin is a couple days behind her in the progression of the illness so I'm not sure if he's going to get as bad as she is or not. Maybe it will be worse since his runny nose and congestion were worse.
I've been giving her honey to help her throat feel a little better but it's not some sort of super cure, and I can't do that for him. Hopefully nursing is enough to help him feel better.
In other news they're both wearing the same size sleep sack to bed tonight. Colin sort of swims in it because he's not really long enough for it. The 9 month fleece sleep sacks (assorted brands) are really tight on him at the feet and they all have sleeves so they're sort of a pain. But the 9 month cotton (halo brand) sleep sacks don't seem warm enough. I bought these bigger fleece sleep sacks for her last year. They're halo and have the foot holes for walkers in them. Colin's feet just sort of slip up inside the holes and it's like a regular sleep sack for him.
Colin is also wearing a size 4 disposable diaper to bed and Kaida is still wearing the threes. I guess we knew he'd be bigger than her some day. I just didn't really think it would be when he was 8 months old!
As for the diapers, after a lot of aggravation, we've discovered that a cloth diaper works better for him overnight than a disposable size 3 diaper, and the disposable size 4 overnight diapers work a little bit better than the cloth. We wanted to make sure we had a bedtime solution before Mom and Aunt B come to stay with them so they don't have to change the sheets at 4am everyday. Then again he won't be nursing overnight when they're here so that may solve the problem anyway.
