We are having a tough time because Bea has been sick for the past few days. I thought she was getting better yesterday but then she had a really bad night last night. She’s been feverish and just so very uncomfortable. She slept next to me last night and kept waking up coughing and crying all night long. She would sob “my mommy” over and over in a pitiful tone. It breaks my heart and it wears on my nerves. Right now she is finally getting a good sleep on the couch. All this closeness reminds me of two years ago when she was colicky and I spent so much time holding her pacing the floors and feeling on the verge of tears myself. I guess we survived that and we’ll surely survive this too.
