The boys are sick... AGAIN! Wednesday - February 11, 2009

This is becoming an all too familiar cycle in our house. One baby gets sick... then 3-5 days later the other baby gets sick.

And, along with sick babies comes little to no sleep for the parents.

As of Tuesday, we have now been to the pediatrician's office 9 times so far in 2009. NINE TIMES. That's averaging 1.5 visits per week. It's as if we're trying to set some sort of record. Which, btw, I am NOT trying to do. Good lord... our pediatrician should start sending us gift baskets!

In their short life span of 13 months, Matteo has now had 6 ear infections and bronchitis twice. So... we're now going to explore the possibility of getting tubes in Matt's ears. Rocco has had 4 ear infections and bronchitis 4 times. And now I'm thinking Matt's lungs weren't sounding so good today and Gabby's got this incredibly yucky, horrible cough. Are two more coming down with bronchitis again? Ugh.

The past few months have been exhausting. Having two babies, constantly sick, is both physicially and mentally exhausting. Hats off to those of you who care for 3 or more sick babies at a time. You're saint-like in my book!

I may start doing a germ-dance of some sort... to rid my house of germs and yuck! ;-)
