As I type this, I’m laying on a toddler mattress in the boys’ room. I wouldn’t say Baby E is sick, but he has a stuffy nose which could be a cold or it could be allergies. Either way, it’s making it difficult for him to sleep.

There was a time that it scared me for Baby E to even come down with a cold. His lungs were always weak and every illness seemed to settle in his chest. Many hours were spent watching him breathe and listening to the rattling of his lungs, his inhaler at the ready.

This past year he was given a reprieve from the constant parade of illnesses that used to march through our home, and as a result I think his lungs might have finally strengthened!

PS- I hope I’m not on the miniature mattress all night!
