First off, again, I am so so sorry. I know you all say I don't have to apologize or give an explanation, and I appreciate that, but I want you all to know that I do appreciate your understanding and let you guys know what's going on.
It's been a rough couple of days. Cayden sort of came down with something... He's only been actually sick once, but every once in awhile he gets hit with... I dunno, just not feeling good? Sometimes he has a fever, this time he didn't, but he was coughing a little and you could tell by how he talked that he throat was raw and probably hurt - and he wasn't eating much. He also wasn't sleeping too hot and for a second we worried that he had an ear infection but I think it was just some random thing. Last night he seemed better and even slept through the night.
Eli, however, did horrible last night. He just had his one month check up today (2 weeks late because of the holidays) and he was diagnosed with reflux. Not a huge deal, lots of babies have it and lots of babies grow out of it. But lately he hasn't been sleeping well (it either seems to take him forever to go down, or he wakes up early. Last night was a combination of both - I couldn't get him to go down till 1:30, then Jeremy was up with him twice, and then I got up with him at 5:30 and stayed up with him till 8.) He was given a prescription today and I'm hoping it makes things easier for him. While the lack of sleep for me sucks, I can deal with it, I'm just really upset because he does this cry and you can tell he's in pain and it breaks my heart because there's nothing I can do about it.
So, basically, Jeremy hasn't had time to fix my word yet (which still isn't working.) and even if he had, I don't think I'd have time to post. I'm not going to promise when another post will go up, just keep checking back. Hopefully this prescription works, Eli goes back to sleeping decently, and then Jeremy can fix my word and I can post.

Aww, poor babies. It's terrible having sick kids, especially when they're young and there's not really much you can do other than pump them full of Tylenol and try to console them.
Hopefully they both start feeling better and you can all get some decent sleep!
I hope the boys feel better soon! I know it’s not easy watching them feel terrible wishing there was something you can do.
Also, have you tried using Google Docs? If you have a gmail account you can create Word, Excel & Powerpoint documents and have them stored in your email file. It’s pretty awesome because you can just create file and always have it with you, without using a USB to transfer files (if you move from computer to computer). My husband and I use it instead of buying or having to reload Microsoft Office.
Again, I hope your boys feel better asap and that you can get some rest!

The weather in ohio sucks..it could be the crazy temperature changes that could have gotten Cayden sick. Warm one week and then freezing the next, I'm sick of this place hah. I hope everything works out but don't forget to take care of yourself, use your free time to rest. Get well to the boys!
So sorry to hear the boys are sick! You take care of them (and yourself as well!)
Sorry to hear about the boys!
I do have a little bit of advise with the reflux that I found helpful with my daughter when she had it when she was born. Her's was so severe we couldnt lay her down so we had her sleeping in a bouncy chair that vibrated and she loved it. She was never a swing type of kid but if we didnt lay her flat she was able to sleep. I understand the long sleepless nights so I thought I'd see if this helps you at all :)
I hope things get easier for you
I hope everything is alright and your just not around because of new mommy crazy busyness.
Take care,
Kat
