sick

everyone's sick. everyone but me, that is.
(KNOCKING ON WOOD!!)
annabelle's first cold - it's not too bad, really, just a lot more liquid coming from her nose than an infant should ever experience. but thankfully, so far, no fever, cough or anything like that. i suppose she could even be teething. it's clear snotters... that's a good sign, right? anyway, the biggest problem is that she is an absolute paci girl and with a stuffy nose she can't suck on her pacifier. it's so sad! suck, suck, suck, sniff, sniff harder, cry! and so forth.
jakey has some bug - fever on and off for two days and a really nasty sounding cough. all day today he seemed like he was getting better then just before bed he started crying that he didn't feel well. sure enough the temperature was back up and his whole chest area sounds congested. i can hear him in there coughing as i type.
to top it all off ben ALSO has some other kind of bug. he feels horrible but his is more tummy than cold. it's all around me!! my mother-in-law was telling me about this study where the people who slept 8 hours were better able to survive the sickness so... goodbye late bird. time to hit the sack early tonight. i am praying to God i won't get sick!

fingers crossed....
