We're Getting There...Slowly

I slept last night. Not well, not deeply, but I did sleep. Husband did not snore or cough all night. BabyGirl stayed in bed all night as did B.B. #1 Son did not get up until 4:30...and then he did it quite a bit until threatened with bodily harm if he woke up his brother. Then he wisely stayed in bed. Husband spent most of the night in the arm chair again, so he's gone back to bed for the morning. I hope he's feeling better today.

BabyGirl's eye issues seem to be related to the head cold. My theory is that she picked up the cold Husband and I are nursing because she was so worn out from the ear infection and sore throat. #1 Son seems to have picked it up too. As of yet, B.B. has only had pink eye.

I'm not running a fever at the moment, but I'm a little wary of saying I'm better. I'm still freezing and sweating alternately...and occasionally at the same time. Last night I had to get up to put #1 Son back in bed at about 9:50. I had gone to bed about 9:30. When he woke me up I realized my PJ's (which are very heavy and very warm) were soaked. Not damp. Drenched. As though I'd turned a hose down my shirt front. I changed into my flannels and crawled back in bed. I proceeded to sweat on and off all night, but never like that first 20 minutes. It put me in mind of the night sweats I have about 4 days after I give birth. Not pleasant, but it may have broken my fever...time will tell.

I'm trying to decided if I want to go to Wal-Mart today...probably not. I'll have to go tomorrow. We'll be out of milk and there's "measurable snow" coming. Or so Julie Hendricks says. If so, it will be our first for the year. So much for the "really bad winter" predicted this summer.
