sleep is overrated

Comment Published at 06:2606:269 comments9 comments35 Visits35 VisitsReport

Since Friday night when the doctor ordered that Katie be on the nebulizer every 4 hours for her bronchitis, it's been a heck of a weekend. Somehow, I think Jordan knows that her sister is needing a bit more attention and has decided to help her out. She has decided she'd be waking up every 3 hours. Oi.

To top it all off, I've been having a hard time sleeping. But I'm too worried about Katie to really mourn about my loss of sleep.

Then came last night. Since I've been sleeping in our room so that I could closely monitor the twins, my husband has been sleeping in Matty's room (which he doesn't usually do). At 3 am last night while I was holding Katie on the nebulizer, in came my husband cursing. He said he hasn't been able to sleep since he went to bed at midnight because Matty has been crying and grunting all evening long.  (I think I managed to interject in the middle of the cursing that Matty sometimes does that and I've just learned to sleep through it.)

Finally, I took pity on him and said he could go and sleep in our bedroom and I will sleep with Matty. I just asked him to listen if Katie starts coughing uncontrollably.

To make the long story short, I'm operating on about 6 total hours of good sleep since Friday night. Oh, and I got 30 minutes of excellent sleep on the lounge chair when the hubby and I decided to watch Bourne Ultimatum last night.

Oh Izzy! I hope Katie gets better really soon, and Jojo stops worrying about her sister and checking her for you! You were amazingly sympathetic to your DH - I find it hard to be sympathetic to mine when he's having a bad night (like, try swapping!)! Perhaps you should put the Bourne Ultimatum on every evening for a quick nap!

Re: sleep is overrated

To tell you the truth, I'm not always sympathetic with my husband. On more than one occassion, I've told him that my life isn't a picnic either. But, he was also suffering from bronchitis (started with Matty, then hubby, then Katie). That's why I took a little pity.

Jojo is still waking more often then usual - though she is lasting up to 4 hours now, instead of 3. I don't know if she's trully hungry and going through a growth spurt, or maybe she's coming down with bronchitis too. Or, like you said.. she may just be worried about Katie.
